Dishwasher Will Not Open!...You Will Never Guess The Reason

What happens here

The presenter demonstrates the correct way to open the dishwasher door. He shows how to grab the integrated pull tab or handle area and pull it *straight out*. This action opens the door smoothly and easily. He then demonstrates what his friend was likely doing: pulling *up* on the handle while also pulling out. When pulling upwards, the door significantly resists opening, requiring much more force.

Goal: Illustrate the proper technique for opening the dishwasher door
