Question About Fisher & Paykel Dishwasher 913T Soft touch
I have a F&P soft touch dishwasher model 913T and ...

I have a F&P soft touch dishwasher model 913T and the door springs either side of the door have gone. It still operates fine but on opening need to hold it other wise it would just fall down. Can you tell me if the springs are located in the actual door ( like ovens) or in the main body of the dishwasher therefore making it more of a major to have replaced. thanks

5 When you open the door you see a big metal piece on each side near the hinge line called the hinge quadrant. The springs are connected between the moving end of the hinge quadrant the bottom of the dishwasher frame. It should be possible to replace them by laying the dishwasher on it's right side (looking from the front) and removing the bottom cover (4 screws). Make absolutely certain the dishwasher is unplugged from the power first and expect some water leakage from the sump.

5 I did a search and came up with a UK site - on how to fix anything, Gave pic's and all info much the same as above. Sourced 2nd Hand Springs from Parts Planet NZ.. Was all fixed in half an hour start to finish. Very happy

0 For Model 920 and 918TD dishwashers the fix is the same: 1. There are two panels, in the front of the dishwasher, that lie below the door. The uppermost panel needs to be removed before the flat fascia under it. With these two off you can replace the springs. 2. Remove the upper panel by looking for recessed holes underneath it at either end. Poking a philips #1 screwdriver up into the recesses will allow you to unscrew them. The screws are captive and will not fall out. Ignore the bolt centrally located under the door. Its for an earth wire and we won't need to touch it. 3. The upper panel will now fall off. Lie it down on the floor in front. Its a convenient receptacle for screws and springs. 4. Remove the lower panel by first pulling off the earth tab. Then slide the panel up an inch or two until it comes forward and pulls away. There are two locking clips underneath. These clip onto the underside of the washer. Friction only, no screws. They will release by pulling the panel towards you. Slide it up first then pull it towards you. Set this panel to one side. 5. You can now see the springs from the front. They may appear hard to get out and replace but it is simple. 6. There is a small screw in front of each spring which holds the side panel onto the base. Unscrew these and put them in the tray for safekeeping. 7. Stretch the spring down and pull it towards the loosened side panel. The bottom of the spring will then detach. 8. Twist and push the spring up to release it at the top. Do this for both of them. Throw them away. 9 Install new springs. The springs both have to be put in with the hook part facing inwards (so the bottom can be clipped on). 10. Attach the top of the spring first by pushing and twisting it in. Make sure its properly in before stretching the spring slightly down and clipping it over the base. Because the side panels are loose this is easy to do . Impossible otherwise. 11. Reassembly. put the flat fascia back on by pushing it in high and letting it slide down. Then push the bottom of the fascia until it clips in. 12. Push the earth lug back on. 13. Screw the upper panel back on using the recessed screws. Done.
