STEP 1 CHECK DOOR BALANCE
With dishwasher on wood skid, check the door balance
by opening and closing the door.
• If door drops open when released, increase spring
tension. If door closes when released, decrease tension.
Note:
Increase or decrease
tension as shown. Adjust
both springs to the same
tension setting to correct
balance.
TIP: If door spring adjustment is necessary, check door
opening and closing. If door does not open easily or
falls too quickly, check spring cable routing. The cable is
held in place by “shoulders” on the pulley. Check to be
sure cable has not slipped over the pulley shoulders.
PREPARE HOT WATER LINE
• The line may enter from either side, rear or floor
within the shaded area shown in Figure F.
• The line may pass through the same hole as the
electrical cable and drain hose. Or, cut an additional
1-1/2" dia. hole to accommodate the water line. If
power cord with plug is used, water line must not pass
through power cord hole.
