How to Install a GE Dishwasher Door Spring
- 1). Turn off the electricity to the circuit where the dishwasher is located to prevent accidental shock.
- 2). Use the screwdriver to remove the screws from the kick panel located at the bottom of the dishwasher. On the majority of GE dishwashers there will be four. Set these aside. Remove the kick panel and set aside.
- 3). Remove the lower front panel screws with the screwdriver. This is located just above the kick panel. Set aside.
- 4). Locate the spring locations. There will be two of them, one at either side. The bottom points on these will be connected at the kick panel, run up through the bottom section and connected at the other end on the side of the door.
- 5). Connect one end of the new dishwasher spring to the hole in the bottom of the dishwasher door. Connect the other end to the socket located just above the toe panel. Do this for each side.
- 6). Open and close the door to ensure smooth operation. When satisfied, replace the bottom section and then the toe panel.
