Is automatic door opening at the end always a fault?

No. Some models intentionally open the door as part of their finishing or drying process. Check whether the feature exists and what clearance the manual requires.

Understanding this situation

This differs from a door that will not latch during washing or falls heavily. Do not force an intended opening closed or defeat its mechanism merely because another dishwasher stayed shut.

A useful next step

Use the feature according to the exact instructions and surrounding installation requirements. If the action is unexpected for the model or causes damage, report it. Keep children and pets safe around the open door and hot contents.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
