Adjust the Door Springs
Before installation, open the door to check the door
springs. If it tends to fall open or pull shut quickly
on its own, adjust the springs. If the door opens and
closes properly, skip to Level the Dishwasher on
page 11.
IMPORtANt: On model IDWH24, if the door panel
is between 15 and 23 lbs., the optional heavy duty
spring kit (PN 701385) is required.
The door springs are on the sides of the dishwasher.
If adjustment is necessary, try making small
adjustments on only one side first.
1. Be sure the door is closed.
2. Grab the front end of the spring and pull it up and
forward to release it from the forward mount.
3. To make small tension adjustments to the
spring, hold the back end of the spring with one
hand and turn the front part one or more times.
Turn it clockwise to increase spring tension,
counterclockwise to reduce spring tension.
