Levers take a lot of force over thousands of openings, and they can crack, snap at the pivot or wear until they no longer reach the catch. The door may then refuse to open, feel loose in the handle, need a hard tug to release, or fail to stay latched shut, which stops the dishwasher from starting a program. Check the latch itself too, as a broken catch can mimic a broken lever.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGeneric replacement for Smeg part 764730231\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoor handle lever for Smeg dishwashers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFive Smeg dishwasher models on file\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eReplacing the handle lever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch off at the wall before opening up the door, because the door panel sits close to the wiring for the controls. Remove the screws holding the outer door panel or control fascia, depending on the model, and note how the lever, spring and latch fit together.
