STEP 3 – CHECK DOOR BALANCE
• With dishwasher on the wood skid, check the door balance
by opening and closing the door.
• If the door drops when released, increase the spring tension.
If the door rises when released, decrease the tension.
• There are two types of counterbalances and therefore two
methods of adjustment. Identify which counterbalance is
present and adjust tension accordingly. Please note: If there
are 3 holes on the cable, use the cable to adjust; if there is
one hole on cable, use the tub leg to adjust.
