Common Symptoms
- Door falls or drops instead of being counterbalanced.
- Door slams shut or is difficult to close.
- Door will not stay open or may not latch properly.
- Uneven door movement when one hinge spring is weakened or broken.
Check Before Replacing
- With the dishwasher empty and the door supported, slowly open and close it to check for unusually heavy, uncontrolled, or uneven movement.
- Visually inspect the hinge-spring area and connected door hardware for a broken, detached, bent, or visibly fatigued spring.
- Check whether the door movement changes when compared with the opposite side, without forcing the door or disassembling the hinge assembly.
- Confirm the replacement part number against the dishwasher model before ordering, because similar-looking springs may differ in size or shape.
Pro Tip
If one door spring has failed, inspect the opposite spring and related door hardware for uneven wear; replacing or servicing matched spring components can help restore balanced door movement.
