The door on my dishwasher opens too far and is not horizontal to the floor when open. The door springs and cables are in good condition. Is there an adjustment mechanism somewhere?
Besides spring streaches out over time or one rope breaks. Their are like three spots to hook spring to get tension for door. I just replaces both ropes as one broke and hooked springs in middle hole. Takes more time to pull washer out then to replace the ropes

SOURCE: WHEN OPENING THE DISHWASHER DOOR, IT DROPS QUICKLY.
Actually I found out that for a LG dishwasher it is as likely to be the cable/cord attached to the spring and door. This a very odd setup in that this cable is made of nylon cord, and not any thicker than a round shoelace! It clearly should be metal cable, and it's not that hard to replace the nylon stuff with steel. Anyway, it is worth it to pull the unit out and open the side panel to see if in facts it's a broken cord or spring first before ordering any parts.

First of all, it's probably not the door spring, but the hinge cable that's broken. It's essentially a rope with plastic connectors that hook the spring to the hinge. Go ahead and order two new hinges and two hinge cables and replace them all while you're at it. You'll have to pull the dishwasher out by removing the two upper screws in the counter, and the two lower screws in the kickplate. If yours is like mine, it'll also be necessary to shorten the legs to scoot it out. Then, remove the side panels by taking the screws out of the front and back sides - don't miss the one at the bottom. About 2/3 up the front edge, there's a little metal catch that has a slot in it. Hook the top of your spring into that, and hook the lower end into one end of the hinge cable (rope). Loop the rope through the pulley and hook the other end on the hinge.
