How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power before removing side panels. Support the door to prevent sudden dropping.
- Access hinges: Remove the left and right side panels to expose the door springs and cables.
- Inspect springs and cables: Check for broken springs or snapped/frayed cables attached to the door hinges.
- Replace damaged parts: Replace both springs or both cables as a pair to maintain balanced tension. Use Grundig-compatible parts.
- Adjust tension: If adjustable, set the spring tension so that the door stays in a half-open position without slamming or rising.
- Reassemble and test: Refit side panels and test door movement several times.
