Hi Just bought and installed a Bush wkp12-9348 integrated dishwasher. There seems to be a problem with the door. When I open the door the spring seems very tight and tries to close. I am unable to unload the dishwasher as the door will not remain down. Can anyone help or advise what I can do? Thanks

If the bottom rack is loaded it sits on the door. if its the top rack ..open door, pull out rack, and unload.

SOURCE: Bosch Dishwasher Door Leaking Steam

Pull the seal that is on the tank 1/2 way out then close the door. This will make sure the door is tight to the seal. This happens sometimes that the seal becomes flattened. I have been using this trick on Bosch dishwashers since this series came out in 1997.

SOURCE: Indesit D41 dishwasher problem

you need to check the inlet walve . when you start the unit you say it drains. so after the drain do you hear the water entering the dishwasher? If you hear a sound like a buzzing noise that would be the inlet valve working. if thats the case there is a clog at the screen in the valve not allowing the water or enough water in the tub. seeing that this is a portable unit you will also want to check to make sure the fill hose is not kinked up anywhere in the cabinet or under neath the dishwasher. If you hear no buzzing noise you need to check the inlet valve with a meter to first make sure your getting power to it and that the valve itself if good. check these things out and let me know what you found and we can go from there

SOURCE: adjusting the door on a neff dishwasher

I have the same problem with my newly installed Miele integrated dishwasher. The door does not stay open when you are trying to load dishes. I heard that there is an adjustable internal mechanism to adjust the tension on the door. But, I am still working on solving my problem.

SOURCE: Frigidaire dishwasher door squeaks when opened and closed

I had the same problem and this worked like a charm:
http://www.blog.applianceoutletservice.com/2008/12/frigidaire-dishwasher-door-squeaks.html

All you'll have to do is take off the kick plate, actually remove the cords, and lubricate with soap (lower tech than spray silicon, but it's worked so far...)

Testimonial: "Hey, thanks for the advice. Worked like a charm. Hopefully Frigidaire has improved their design."

Can't open door of my cata slimline dishwasher

It is normal for a dishwasher door without a kitchen door fitted not to remain open. It will be closed again by the springs on the hinges. If the dishwasher is integrated and no kitchen door is attached, it will not be possible to test the door.

Remove door broken spring

Go to Partsselect.com and enter the model number of your dishwasher. On most dishwashers the model number can be found on the door I believe. This will show you a diagram of the parts a they often have a video on how to install the new part. Hope this helps.

Problems with integrated dishwasher

The door tension is set with a spring. You need to pull the unit out part way and look on the left and right side bottom area near the front. The spring can be adjusted by selecting a different hole in the bracket that it is attached to.

Door falls open

The side spring springs could have unhooked. Some springs connect to a nylon rope that slides over a plastic guide. The rope could also have snaped or slipped off the guide. You need to open the sides (normaly the back first) to check. This is easy to fix if you have the right tools...
