How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power. The door is heavy; support it to prevent injury.
- 1. Support the door: Place a sturdy object under the open door to support its weight.
- 2. Remove side panels: Access the door springs and cables located along the sides of the tub.
- 3. Inspect springs and cords: Look for broken springs or frayed/snapped cords connecting the springs to the door hinges.
- 4. Replace in pairs: Replace both springs or both cords to maintain balanced tension, using parts specified for your Constructa model.
- 5. Adjust tension: If adjustable, set spring tension so the door stays open at about 45° without falling or rising.
