• Common failure signs include a door that drops suddenly, won't stay partially open, or makes snapping/spring noises
• Visual signs may include a stretched, broken, or missing spring

• 1 door spring

• Disconnect power; if working on a built-in dishwasher, also shut off water and support the door
• Springs are under tension—use eye protection and gloves, and release/attach carefully
• Access is typically behind the lower/toe panel; note original spring routing and hole positions before removal
• Inspect related door linkage/cords and hinge brackets; replace any worn components to maintain proper balance
