Arcelik Door Spring / Hinge Cable Failure

Dishwasher door drops down quickly or will not stay in the partially open position.

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 springs, Snapped door tension cables, Worn hinge arms, Incorrect spring tension setting

Safety first: Disconnect power before working on the door hinges.

Access side panels: Remove the side panels of the dishwasher to expose the door springs and tension cables.
Inspect springs and cables: Look for broken or disconnected springs and frayed or snapped cables.
Replace damaged parts: Install new Arcelik-compatible door springs and cables in pairs to maintain balanced tension.
Adjust tension: If adjustable, set the spring tension so that the door stays in a half-open position without dropping or rising.
