How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and support the door to prevent it from dropping suddenly while working.
- 1. Inspect hinges: Open the door slowly and observe if it is heavy or slams down. This indicates a spring or cable issue.
- 2. Access side panels: Remove the left and right side panels of the Hisense dishwasher to view the door springs and tension cables.
- 3. Check springs and cables: Look for broken springs or cables that have come off their pulleys. Replace any damaged components with the correct Hisense door spring kit.
- 4. Adjust tension: Some models allow spring tension adjustment. Follow the service instructions to balance the door so it stays open at mid-position.
- 5. Test door operation: After replacement or adjustment, open and close the door several times to ensure smooth, controlled movement.
