How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher. Support the door to prevent it from dropping suddenly while working.
- Pull out the dishwasher: Remove mounting screws and slide the unit out slightly to access the sides.
- Inspect springs and cables: On each side, check the door springs and tension cables (or cords). Replace any broken or stretched components.
- Check hinges: Inspect hinge arms for bending or cracks. Replace the door hinge kit if damaged.
- Adjust tension: If adjustable, set spring tension so the door stays in a half-open position without slamming or rising.
