Tip: Make sure door opens and closes smoothly.
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 and is routed as shown.
STEP 2: CHECK DOOR BALANCE
STEP 5: POSITION SOUND BARRIER

Skip this step if the sound
barrier is not assembled
to the dishwasher.
Lift the sound barrier and
tape to the door front with
masking tape. This will
hold the sound barrier up
and out of the way during
installation.
