The other type of assembly connects
the springs to cables which run through pulleys and connect to
the door (as illustrated below).
Check that none of the springs are
missing and that they are connected to their anchor points. If
your dishwasher uses cables, tug on the cables to make sure they
are anchored on both ends.
If everything seems to be in place
and attached, it may be that the springs have become stretched
and are not supplying enough pull to support the door. In this
case the springs should be replaced.
