Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Door falls open instead of remaining controlled
• Door feels unusually heavy or lacks normal spring assistance
• Door may not close or latch correctly because spring tension is incorrect
• Uneven door movement when one spring is damaged or disconnected

Check Before Replacing

• With the dishwasher empty and power disconnected, observe whether the door drops rapidly or feels significantly heavier than normal when opened.
• Visually inspect the spring assembly, retainer, protective tip, and adjusting-hook area for breakage, disconnection, deformation, or visible damage; do not handle a loaded spring.
• Check that the dishwasher is level and that the door is not obstructed by the tub, racks, seal, or surrounding cabinetry before attributing the symptom to the spring.
• Compare door movement and tension side-to-side only if the design permits safe visual comparison; do not pull, stretch, or remove the spring during inspection.
