If it's like my whirlpool, pull it out. Spring should be obvious. I doubt the hinge portion is broken. Spring may be. While it's out and springs tend to break, I would replace both. Several online appliance parts stores can help you with springs, my diagnostics and Hinge issue. They have been helpful to me.
Yes, you can repair the unit yourself. It will require removing the dishwasher out of the cabinetry to get to the spring cable. The spring is not the problem but the connector between the door hinge and the spring is broken. The part you need is 4933DD3001B. You will need 2 of them. Hope this helps.
After removing lower rack and then the spray arm (pulling directly up and out), remove the (approximately) 12 silver screws from around the guard. Lift out to gain access to the lowest sump area.
Watch out for broken glass down there, it is sometimes almost invisible... and sharp!
check for voltage at the water valve when it should be filling Try disconnecting the Water Valve outlet from the DishWasher and run the output into a bucket if all is well with the valve then remove the door panel and inspect the wires near the bottom of the door. the wires get buried in the tar like insulation causing the wires to break as the door is opened and closed.That tar like substance is one of the worst things they could of ever put into that machine causes the wires to break apart adn become brittle
The Vent Kit behind the lower door panel, upper left corner has a rubber, solonoid stopper. Pressure from the spray arms overcome the rubber as the stopper hardens over time, allowing water to enter into the vent blower assembly. I found my replacement on Sears-Parts for $40 w/ shipping and just ordered it today. Be sure to turn off the breaker to the washer before removing the lower front door panel - 120vac in there, don't want no electricutions.
what happens is the cheap tin on the door gets bent out over time (pushed down) when you load and unload the machine. You can probably grab hold of the inside bottom of the door when its open and with gentle force pull it up back into its original position to make a tighter seal. Highly likely that the seal is just fine ( or just dirty)
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.
