Dishwasher door falls open quickly or will not stay in the desired position.

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

Possible Causes

Broken door spring, Frayed or broken door cable, Hinge misalignment, Missing or damaged hinge bushings

Safety First: Turn off power and support the door to prevent injury while working.

Inspect hinges: Remove the toe-kick and side panels if needed to view the door hinges and springs.
Check springs and cables: Look for broken springs or frayed cables on each side. Replace both sides as a set to maintain balance.
Adjust tension: Some models allow spring tension adjustment. Follow the service manual to set proper tension so the door stays where you leave it.
