Abstract
A handle is provided on the interior side of a dishwasher door so as to facilitate the raising of the door from a low opened position. The handle is pivotally mounted within the door so as to move between an upstanding position when the door is open to a flush position when the door is closed. A counter weight is provided in the handle so the handle automatically rises to the upstanding position when the dishwasher door is moved from the closed position to the open position.
