Adjusting the door springs
4. Adjust the spring tension using one of the
following methods depending on how much
adjustment is needed.
If you need to adjust the spring a lot, place the
rear mount in another hole. Place the spring
further forward to reduce the tension and
further back to increase the tension.
If you want to make small adjustments to the
spring, hold the back end with one hand and turn
the forward mount clockwise or anticlockwise one
or more times. Turn the mount clockwise to in­
crease spring tension and anticlockwise to reduce
spring tension.
5. Replace the back end of the spring by holding
the spring at a right angle to the side of the dis­
hwasher and pushing the end of the spring into
the hole, then turning the spring in towards the
dishwasher.
6. Reattach the front end of the spring by pulling
it up and forward to fasten it in the mount.
7. Open the door and check the spring tension
again. If necessary, make further adjustments
as above.
Stronger door springs are available for purchase
for dishwashers fitted with a cover door. Springs
are available for various weights and sizes of door.
Door springs can be purchased from the retailer
who sold you the dishwasher.
