How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Turn off power and support the door to prevent it from dropping suddenly.
- Remove side panels: Pull the dishwasher out slightly and remove side panels to access the door springs and cables.
- Inspect springs and cables: Look for broken springs or cables disconnected from the base or door hinge.
- Replace in pairs: Replace both door springs and both cables to maintain balanced tension.
- Adjust tension: Use the designated holes or adjustment points to set proper tension so the door stays open at mid-position without slamming or rising.
