Dishwasher door drops open quickly or will not stay in the desired 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 spring, Frayed or broken hinge cable, Misadjusted spring tension, Worn hinge mechanism

Safety: Disconnect power. The door is heavy; support it to prevent injury.

Inspect hinges: Remove the side panels or lower kick panel to view the door springs and cables.
Check springs and cables: Look for broken springs or snapped cables on either side of the door.
Replace damaged parts: Install new Asko door springs and/or cables in pairs to maintain balance.
Adjust tension: If adjustable, set spring tension so the door stays open at mid-position without slamming.
