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

and further back to increase the tension.
If you want to make small adjustments to the

turn the forward mount clockwise or coun
terclockwise one or more times. Turn the
mount clockwise to increase spring tension
and counterclockwise to reduce spring ten
sion.
5. Replace the back end of the spring by hold-
ing the spring at a right angle to the side of the
dishwasher and pushing the end of the spring
into the hole, then turning the spring in toward
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.
