Possible Causes
Broken door springs, Frayed or snapped door tension cables, Misadjusted spring tension, Damaged hinge arms
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and support the door to prevent sudden dropping.
- 1. Pull out dishwasher: Slide the unit out slightly to access the sides where the springs and cables are located.
- 2. Inspect cables: Look for broken or frayed door tension cables attached to the hinges. Replace both sides if one is damaged.
- 3. Check springs: Inspect the door springs for breakage or loss of tension. Replace as a pair if defective.
- 4. Adjust tension: Some models allow spring tension adjustment via different anchor holes; adjust so the door stays in mid-position without slamming.
Do not operate the dishwasher with a door that drops suddenly; it can be hazardous.
