Possible Causes

Broken door tension spring, Frayed or snapped door cable, Misadjusted spring tension, Damaged hinge mechanism

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.
