Teka Door Spring / Hinge 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 tension cables, Misadjusted spring tension, Worn hinges

Safety first: Unplug the dishwasher before working on hinges or springs.

Pull out appliance: Remove the decorative panel if fitted and slide the dishwasher out from the cabinet.
Inspect springs and cables: On each side, check the door springs and tension cables (or cords). Replace any that are broken or stretched.
Adjust tension: If adjustable, set the spring tension so the door can stay open at about 45° without falling or rising.
Replace hinges: If hinges are bent or worn, replace the door hinge set.
