How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing side panels. The door is heavy; support it while working.
Steps:
- Inspect hinges: Open the door and look at the hinge arms for obvious damage.
- Access springs and cables: Remove the side panels to view the door springs and cables. Check for broken or disconnected parts.
- Replace damaged parts: Install new OEM Blomberg door springs and cables in pairs to maintain balance.
