How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and support the door to prevent injury.
- Inspect door movement: Open and close the door slowly. If it drops freely or is very heavy, the springs or cables are likely broken.
- Access hinges and springs: Remove the side panels or pull the dishwasher out to view the hinge area. Look for broken springs or disconnected cables.
- Replace springs/cables: Install new Dacor door springs and cables in matched pairs to ensure balanced tension.
- Re-level and test: After reassembly, level the dishwasher and test door operation for smooth, controlled movement.
