Leveling Legs
Door Balance System
There are four leveling legs located on the base
rails of the dishwasher.
To access the leveling legs, remove the toe kick
and insulation (on some models). To raise the
dishwasher, turn the level legs clockwise (CW).
Turning the legs counter-clockwise (CCW) will
lower the dishwasher.
If a level leg will not keep the dishwasher
level because the support rail is stripped, the
dishwasher may be repaired by using two 1/2-
inch hex-head nuts with 1/4-inch -20 thread size
as jam nuts (
Part #
: WR01X10044), one below
the rail, the other above the rail.
Place one nut on the leg and install the new
leg onto the dishwasher. Use the bottom nut to
level the dishwasher. When it is level, use the
remaining nut on the top to firmly secure the leg
to the base rail or frame.
The door balance system is comprised of springs,
cables, rollers and hinge arm.
Door Springs and Cables
The spring is adjustable as it attaches to the rear
of the vertical leg base assembly. There are four
holes in the leg. Higher connection on the rear
frame on the leg causes more tension on the
spring. The spring connects to a cable which
connects to the hinge arm using a roller as a
tensioner.
