In our '05 PT, the dishwasher sat slightly askew, so I asked a shop to take a look at it. He found it wasn't secured at all and would pull right out of the cabinet. To fix it, he cut a scrap piece of wood to act as support in the rear and used some drywall screws to anchor it in place. Could you be so lucky? Wife loves the dishwasher.

The  door latches are broken,  from what i read the rear panel has to come off to replace them.

    Tom,
 If it is a Fisher-Paykyl drawer type dishwasher, try this if the drawer guides are not broken. Plug the coach in or start the generator. Hold down the power button on the dishwasher. It will beep and 2 seconds later it will beep twice and 2 seconds later it will beep twice but a higher tone. You will also hear the drawer lock. Please advise, Fred

    Tom,
It sounds like the drawer is hyper-extended. If the drawer came out in transit when loaded, it has damaged the plastic guide clips. If you can't find the parts on the floor, you may have to find a fisher-paykyl authorized appliance repair facility. Fred
