How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety: Unplug the dishwasher before working on hinges or springs.

  • Remove side panels: Pull the dishwasher out slightly and remove the side panels to access the door springs and cables.
  • Inspect springs and cables: Look for broken or disconnected springs or frayed cables. Replace both sides in pairs to maintain balance.
  • Adjust tension: On adjustable models, set the spring tension so the door stays in any open position without slamming.
  • Test door movement: Open and close the door several times to ensure smooth, controlled motion.
