Door drops open quickly or will not stay in the desired position.

This repair may involve working with high voltage components or water connections. Always unplug the appliance before removing any panels.

Possible Causes

Broken door springs, Frayed or broken door cables, Misrouted spring cables

Safety first: Turn off power and support the door to prevent sudden movement.

Pull out 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 that connect to the door hinges. Replace any broken springs or cables.
Adjust tension: Some models allow adjusting spring tension by moving the spring to a different notch.

Replace both springs or both cables as a pair to maintain even door tension.
