Dishwasher door

Dishwasher Repair
1

The door on the dishwasher has lost resistance when opened. The door would fall hard if I did not control the weight. Is the spring broke or hydraulic system failed? Is this something I can fix? Any help would be appreciated.

Here are your parts
Replacement parts for KUDM01FK models | AppliancePartsPros.com
You are short a couple digits in the model number.

See section 7 for the parts of the door spring mechanism.
Remove the kick plate and take a look.
To repair it you may have to pull the unit forward a foot or so.

I cannot say if you can fix it as it depends on your mechanical ability but is is not that complicated.

Thanks for the help. I have ordered the parts and will soon be making the repair.

I replaced the outer door on my GE Profile model GSD5120D01BB. The new skin was much better quality and heavier gauge metal. Unfortunately, now the door falls heavily unless you guide it down. The springs are both still attached and apparently in good shape. Is there an adjustment or heavier spring available? Thanks in advance. PF
