Hinge Spring Adjustment Instruction
If door tension is insufcient to support the weight of the door, adjustment of the hinge spring tension may be needed.
Make sure that the dishwasher door is closed at all times while
hinge spring tension is being adjusted. Adjusting the hinge
spring tension while the door is partially or fully open can cause
damage to the hinge.
The dishwasher should be partially or fully removed from
under the cabinet to grant access to the hinge spring tension
adjustment mechanism.
1. Close dishwasher door
2. Remove dishwasher from the cabinet
With the dishwasher partially or fully removed from the cabinet,
the hinge spring tension adjusters can be accessed at the front
sides of the dishwasher.
Each of the two hinges (right side and left side) have 3 different
spring tension adjustments. All dishwasher models leave the
factory with the hinges set in the lowest spring tension setting.
This setting is suitable for lighter door panels. Heavier door
panels will require adjustment of the hinge spring tension to
prevent the door from falling open when its unlatched.
