How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher. The door can be heavy; support it when working on hinges.
- Inspect hinges: Open the door slowly and observe whether one side drops more than the other, indicating a broken spring or cable.
- Remove side panels: Access the hinge area by removing the side panels (freestanding) or pulling out the built-in unit.
- Replace springs/cables: Fit new AEG-compatible door springs and tension cables on both sides to ensure balanced operation.
- Test door movement: The door should now stay in a mid-open position without slamming.
