Possible Causes

Broken door spring, Frayed or snapped tension cable, Incorrect panel weight (integrated models), Hinge damage

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Support the door when opening; a falling door can cause injury.

  • Check door movement: Open the door slowly. If it drops freely without resistance, a spring or cable is likely broken.
  • Remove heavy items: Do not place heavy objects on the open door; this can worsen hinge damage.
  • Panel weight: On integrated models, ensure the decorative panel matches the specified weight range.
  • Professional repair: Replacing door springs or cables requires removing the dishwasher from the cabinet and accessing the sides. This is best done by a technician.
