If the dishwasher door won’t close or latch, it might be because the door spring tension is improperly set. This means that the tension on the door springs isn’t strong enough to keep the door closed. You can try fixing this problem by adjusting the tension on the springs for a tighter fitting door.
Open and close the door to check the spring tension.
Locate the door spring adjustment screws at the base of the dishwasher door.
Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, turn screws clockwise to increase tension or counterclockwise to decrease door tension.
If the door closes too quickly, decrease the spring tension by moving the spring end toward the front of the dishwasher.
If the door falls open, increase the spring tension by moving the spring end toward the back of the dishwasher.
Springs should be in the same notches on the left and right sides.
