GE Profile Door Hinge / Spring Failure

Dishwasher door drops 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.

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

Possible Causes

Broken door springs, Detached or frayed door cables, Worn hinge arms, Incorrect installation of side panels interfering with hinges

Safety: Turn off power before removing side panels or working near hinges. The door is heavy; support it during repair.

Steps:

1. Inspect door movement: Open and close the door to confirm it is not balanced.
2. Remove toe-kick and side panels (if needed): Access the hinge area on both sides.
3. Check springs and cables: Look for broken springs or frayed/disconnected cables attached to the door hinges.
4. Replace as a set: Replace both springs and cables with GE Profile–approved parts to maintain balance.
