How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher before working on hinges or springs. The door is heavy; support it during repair.
- Inspect door movement: Open and close the door slowly. If it falls freely or feels unbalanced, the springs or cables are likely damaged.
- Access hinges: Remove the side panels of the Becken dishwasher to expose the hinge springs and cables.
- Check springs and cables: Look for broken springs or snapped cables attached to the door hinges. Replace both sides as a pair to maintain balance.
- Adjust tension: Some models allow spring tension adjustment via different anchor points. Set to a position where the door stays open at mid-position without slamming.
Because of the risk of injury from a falling door, perform this repair carefully or use a technician.
