Dishwasher door drops open too quickly or will not stay in partially open position.

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 spring, Snapped tension cable, Misrouted spring cable, Worn hinge arm

Safety: Turn off power and support the door to prevent injury.

Inspect hinges: Remove the side panels or pull the dishwasher out to view the hinges and springs.
Check tension cables: On many Samsung models, nylon cables connect the springs to the door. Replace any broken or frayed cables.
Replace springs: If springs are stretched or broken, replace both sides as a set to maintain balance.
Reassemble and test: After replacement, open and close the door to ensure smooth, controlled movement.
