Possible Causes

Safety first: Disconnect power before working near hinges and springs.

Inspect hinges: Open the door and look at the side gaps for signs of misalignment or scraping.
Remove side panels or kick panel: Access the door springs and cables on each side.
Check springs and cables: Replace any broken springs or frayed cables with the correct Fisher & Paykel parts.

After replacement, ensure the door opens smoothly and stays at mid-position without slamming.
