5A TEST DOOR BALANCE
FOR MODEL PDW8500 ONLY
• Release door latch. Open and release the
door. If the door tends to drop when released,
spring tension needs to be increased. If the
door tends to close, the spring tension needs
to be decreased.
• If the spring tension needs to be adjusted,
first remove 2 screws securing the dish-
washer to the underside of the countertop or
sides. Retain Screws. Carefully pull dish-
washer out from the cabinet enclosure, ap-
proximately 20", until door springs are ex-
posed.
• Always hold the dishwasher at the top when
opening the door. The dishwasher will tip
forward when the door is opened.
• See Figure 12 for adjusting spring tension.
When adjusting tension, both springs must be
set to the same position on the side brackets.
• Slide dishwasher back into the original
position.
• Check that door springs do not contact water
line, fill hose, wiring or other components.
• Reinstall the original top or side mounting
screws.
• Turn on water and power.
