Panasonic Door Spring / Cable Failure

Dishwasher door drops down quickly or will not stay in intermediate positions

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

If you are not confident in your ability to perform this repair safely, we strongly recommend contacting a professional technician.

Possible Causes

Broken door springs, Frayed or snapped door cables, Misadjusted spring tension

Safety first: Support the door to prevent it from dropping while working.

Access side panels: Remove the side panels to expose the door springs and cables.
Inspect springs and cables: Replace any broken springs or frayed cables with Panasonic-specific parts.
Adjust tension: If adjustable, set spring tension so the door stays in position when partially open.
