Possible Causes
Broken Haier door springs, Frayed or snapped door tension cables, Misadjusted spring tension, Damaged hinge arms
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and support the door to prevent sudden dropping while working.
- 1. Remove toe-kick: Access the lower sides of the dishwasher to view the door springs and cables.
- 2. Inspect springs and cables: Look for broken springs or cables disconnected from the door hinge.
- 3. Replace in pairs: Replace both door springs or both cables to maintain balanced tension.
- 4. Adjust tension: Some Haier models allow spring tension adjustment by moving the spring to different holes. Adjust so the door stays open at mid-position.
- 5. Test door movement: Open and close the door several times to ensure smooth, controlled motion.
Warning: Springs are under tension; handle carefully to avoid injury.
