How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Disconnect power and support the door to prevent sudden movement.
- 1. Remove toe-kick panel: Access the sides of the dishwasher where the door springs and cables are located.
- 2. Inspect springs and cables: Look for broken springs or frayed/broken cables attached to the door hinges.
- 3. Replace damaged parts: Install new Insignia-compatible door springs and cables in pairs to maintain balanced tension.
- 4. Adjust tension: Some models allow spring tension adjustment by changing hook positions. Adjust so the door opens smoothly and stays in mid-position.
- 5. Verify hinge mounts: Ensure hinges are securely fastened to the tub and not bent.
Door spring repairs involve strong tension; if unsure, seek professional assistance.
