Electrolux EI24ID50QS 24 in Built-In Dishwasher with IQ-Touch Controls 44 dBA MECH-SPRING Error Fix: Door Spring or Cable Broken

The dishwasher door falls open too rapidly when released, slams shut, or will not stay open at the desired angle for loading. The counterbalance system (springs and/or cables) has failed. Door springs or cables are located on each side of the dishwasher inner panel. Work carefully — the springs are under tension. Replace both springs/cables at the same time for balanced operation. Some Electrolux models use a pulley and cable system rather than springs.
