5. Push bracket into slot on the side of dishwasher, and
bend tab in towards the side of the dishwasher so that
it keeps the bracket in place.

Check door spring tension
1. With another person holding the dishwasher to prevent

the door closes or falls open under its own weight, the
door tension will need to be adjusted.

from the rear leg of dishwasher.
3. With a 5/16" nut driver or hex socket, remove the screw
from the tensioner.
4. The screw can be put into one of three holes , ,

move the tensioner to a higher number hole and
replace screw. When door is unlatched, if it opens by
itself, move tensioner to a lower numbered hole and
replace screw.
5. Re-attach door spring to rear leg. Tensioners on both
sides of dishwasher should be secured at same holes.

at the edges of the door panel.

wheels and move dishwasher close

the front of the panel or on the
console—they may dent.
3. If dishwasher has a power supply
