Possible Causes
Broken door spring, Frayed or broken door cable, Misadjusted spring tension, Hinge damage
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and support the door to prevent sudden movement while working.
- Pull out dishwasher: Slide the unit out slightly to access the sides where the door springs and cables are located.
- Inspect springs and cables: Look for broken springs or frayed/broken nylon cables connecting the springs to the door hinges.
- Replace damaged parts: Install new OEM door springs and cables in pairs to maintain balanced tension.
- Adjust tension: Some models allow spring tension adjustment. Set so the door stays in a mid-open position without slamming or rising.
