Amica Door Spring / Hinge Cable Failure

Dishwasher door drops down quickly or will not stay in intermediate positions

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Broken door spring, Snapped tension cable, Worn hinge, Incorrect installation of side panels

Safety first: Support the door when opening to avoid injury.

Inspect door movement: Open the door slowly. If it falls freely, the springs or cables are likely broken.
Remove side panels: Unplug the dishwasher and remove the side panels to access the hinges and springs.
Check springs and cables: Look for broken or detached springs and frayed or snapped cables on each side.
Replace in pairs: Replace both springs or both cables to maintain balanced tension.
