dont know what the problem is because we have Brazilian Cherry in our kitchen too and had to replace a new dishwasher when we built the house. Is the flooring raised under the dishwasher?

  It should be level. Many people put tile or plywood the same thickness as the hw floor.

Remove the flooring or counter top, which ever is easier

Before removing the floor or counter, try adjusting the legs first.

The front of the dishwasher has adjustable levelers. Once lowered the dishwasher should be able to be lifted enough to slide it out. Protect your floor with cardboard.
