Installation guide
Check door spring tension
With another person holding the dishwasher to keep it
from tipping, open and close the door a few times. If the
door closes or falls open under its own weight, the door
tension will need to be adjusted.
= If the door closes too quickly, decrease the spring
tension by moving the spring end toward the front of
the dishwasher.
= If the door falls open, increase the spring tension by
moving the spring end toward the back of the
dishwasher.
= Springs should be in the same notches on left and
right sides.
