George A Montville , NJ March 22, 2020 Appliance: KitchenAid Dishwasher KUDA220T1 The door springs and guides on our dishwasher were damaged when my wife fell on the open door I removed the lower door panel and kickplate (4 screws) to access the door springs. Replaced the door springs by hand. The nylon guides, through which the door guides travel, were easy to replace. I removed the broken ones and snapped in the new ones. I recommend a drop of epoxy on the upper portion of each guide to keep it from shifting. The impact on the door apparently distorted the frame slightly so the door drops slightly below level when fully opened and the lower rack movement is impeded by the bottom edge of the door. I am going to install a spacer on the door guide arm to prevent the door from dropping too far. Should not be a an issue. All is well.
