5 Closes too quickly- Decrease spring tension spring tensioner screw To adjust the door spring tension, unhook the spring from the rear leg of dishwasher. Using a nut driver or hex socket, remove the screw from the tensioner. The screw can be put into one of three holes , , in the front leg of dishwasher. If the door closes by itself, move the tensioner to a lower-numbered hole and replace screw. Reattach door spring to rear leg. NOTE: Tensioners on both sides of dishwasher should be secured at same holes. 6 Door falls open- Increase spring tension IMPORTANT: If wheels were removed, cover the floor when moving the dishwasher. Slowly move dishwasher completely into cabinet opening. Do not kink or pinch water line, drain hose, power supply cord or direct wire between dishwasher and cabinet. Remove cardboard from under dishwasher. NOTE: It is all right if dishwasher fits tightly into cabinet opening. Do not remove insulation blanket - the blanket reduces the sound level. NOTE: If using power cord, make sure to route end through hole in cutout before sliding into cabinet opening. 8 Align front of dishwasher with front of cabinet doors Align front of dishwasher door panel with front of cabinet doors. You may need to adjust alignment to be even with your cabinets. 9 Check for plumb and adjust legs if needed When door is unlatched, if door opens by itself, move the tensioner to a higher-numbered hole and replace the screw. Reattach door spring to rear leg. NOTE: Tensioners on both sides of dishwasher should be secured at same holes. 7 Move dishwasher into cabinet opening Insulation blanket Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor. Close and latch the door, and place level against the front panel. Check that dishwasher is centered from front to back in the opening. If needed, adjust leveling leg until dishwasher is plumb. Repeat for other side of dishwasher. Helpful Tip: Push up on front of dishwasher to raise dishwasher off the ground to adjust front legs. With some installations, it may be easier to adjust the front leg using the hex head socket or adjustable wrench. Preferred method Optional method 16
