41. Closes too quickly – decrease spring tension
If the door falls open, increase the spring tension by moving
the spring end toward the back of the dishwasher.
NOTE:
Springs should be in the same notches on left and
right sides.
42. Align front of dishwasher with front of cabinet
doors
Align front of dishwasher door panel with front of cabinet
doors. You may need to adjust alignment to be even with
your cabinets.
43. Check for plumb and adjust legs if needed
Check that leveling legs are firmly against the floor. Close and
latch the door and place level against the front panel. Check
that dishwasher is centered from front to back in the opening.
If needed, adjust leveling leg until dishwasher is plumb.
Repeat for other side of dishwasher.
Helpful Tip:
Push up on front of dishwasher to raise
dishwasher off the ground to adjust front legs. With some
installations, it may be easier to adjust the front leg using a
3/16" hex head socket or adjustable wrench. If the gap
between the top of the door and the underside of the
countertop is tight (less than 1/4" [6 mm]), we suggest side
anchoring to keep from scratching the control panel or
console.
Level legs
44. Check level side to side and adjust legs if
needed
Place level against top-front opening of tub. Check that
dishwasher is level from side to side. If dishwasher is not
level, adjust front legs up or down until dishwasher is level.
