How do you tighten loose door handle on ge monogram dishwasher?

Open the door. Remove the 12 screws inside the door around the perimeter. The front of the door will separate from the back- be careful to not let them spring apart. You may want to disconnect the black plastic control panel wire harnesses inside the door so you don't risk damaging any wires. Affixing the handle to the door is two 3/8 hex heads. Remove both screws. My handle felt loose because there is a Allen head screw inside the handle post that was loose. Needs to be tightened through the 3/8 hex thread hole with a small SAE Allen size. Reverse order for putting door back together.

What can go in the dishwasher?

Generally speaking, anything non-porous can go in the dishwasher. HOWEVER -

This question is better answered by referencing what should NOT go in the dishwasher:

Wood (in whole or part of the item)

Cast Iron

Aluminum

Knives

Crystal

Gold or anything with Gold trim

Synthetics meant to be disposable (plastic or foam cups and plates, etc)

Anything manufactured before 1960 (i.e. before dishwashers became popular)

The above mentioned items either absorb everything they're exposed to, are too fragile, or will tarnish or break when exposed to extreme temperatures, humidity, and chemicals for any length of time.

People like to argue about cookware. The truth is though it washes up just fine, the non stick coatings most pots and pans have will last a lot longer if washed by hand.

Plastics meant to be reused are typically ok, but only on the top rack.

Your very safest bet is - if you have to wonder if it's safe or not - hand wash.
