STEP 3 – CHECK DOOR BALANCE
•With dishwasher on the wood skid, check the door balance by opening and closing the door.
•If the door drops when released, increase the spring tension. If the door rises when released, decrease the tension.
•There are two types of counter balance and therefore two methods of adjustment. Identify which counter balance is present and adjust tension accordingly. Please note: if there are 3 holes on the cable, use the cable to adjust; if there is one hole on cable use the tub leg to adjust.

After adjusting spring tension, open and close the door to make sure the door operates smoothly. If the door is hard to move or if the spring cable binds, check the routing of the spring cable. The cable should be routed between the shoulders of the pulley cable roller. If the cable is off the roller: latch door, remove spring tension and route the cable between the shoulders of the roller. See Figure J.
