Fagor Door Spring / Hinge Cable Failure

Dishwasher door drops down quickly or will not stay in the half-open position.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Broken door tension spring, Frayed or snapped door cable/cord, Misrouted spring mechanism, Worn hinge pivot

Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher before working on the door hinges.

Remove side panels: Pull the Fagor dishwasher out slightly and remove the side panels to access the door spring mechanism.
Inspect springs and cords: Check for broken springs or snapped cords attached to the door hinges.
Replace in pairs: Replace both door springs or both cords to maintain balanced tension.
Adjust tension: Use the designated holes or adjustment points to set the correct door tension so it stays open halfway without dropping.
