I have a dishwasher that does not open automatically when finished. I can detect when it is finished through a power adapter, but need to open it somehow. Any tips? Is fingerbot strong enough?

    If your device is not quite strong enough, a small spring that’s too weak to open the door on its own could help.

    If you access to the side, then a form of lever could provide mechanical advantage (just check what the fulcrum rests on or you might dent something).

    If you aren’t concerned with reusability, dynamite is fairly effective at opening doors.

      You can always couple the dynamite trigger with the automatic ordering of a new dishwasher.
