This video provides step-by-step instructions for replacing a door spring on GE dishwashers. The most common reason for replacing the springs is when one of them is broken, causing the door to fall open when unlatched. They should always be replaced in pairs, even if only one is broken, because they wear at the same rate.

All of the information in this spring replacement video is applicable to the following brands: GE, Hotpoint, Kenmore, RCA

Step By Step Instructions

1
As with any repair, be sure to turn off the power supply to your dishwasher before beginning and confirm that the dishwasher door is closed and latched.
2
To replace a door spring, your first step is to remove the screws to release the lower access panels and set the panels aside.
3
If applicable, remove the screws to release the water inlet valve bracket to access the door spring.
4
Note the position of the springs in the frame then detach the old spring if still intact and remove it along with the hinge link.
5
Prepare the new door spring for installation by transferring the hinge link from the old spring to the new one.
6
Now position the short end of the spring in the appropriate hole in the frame and attach the hinge link to the hinge.
7
Reposition and secure the water inlet valve bracket if necessary.
8
Replace the lower access panels and secure them with the screws.
9
You’re now ready to turn the power supply back on and confirm that the dishwasher door opens and closes properly.
