Leveling Legs

There are four leveling legs located on the base
rails of the dishwasher.
To access the level legs, remove the toe kick
and insulation (some models). To raise the
dishwasher, turn the level legs counter-clockwise.
Optional location for rear Level Leg
If a leveling leg will not keep the dishwasher
level because the support rail is stripped, the
dishwasher may be repaired by using two 1/2-in.
hex nuts with 1/4-in., 20 thread size as jam nuts.
Rear level legs have an optional location to repair.
Place one nut on the leg and install the new leg
onto the dishwasher damaged frame. Use the
bottom nut to level the dishwasher. When it is
level, use the remaining nut on the top to firmly
secure the leg to the base rail or frame.

Door Springs and Cables

The spring is adjustable as it attaches to the rear
of the leg base assembly. There are two holes
in the leg and factory setting on a support screw.
Higher connection on the rear frame on the leg
causes more tension on the spring. The spring
connects to a cable which connects to the hinge
arm using a roller as a tensioner.

Hinges

The hinge system is comprised of offset legs
(part of the tub and structure system and not a
replaceable part) and hinge arms. The hinge
system allows the door to be removed while the
dishwasher remains installed.
Information on door removal can be found under
the Door section later in this guide.
