Door spring on dishwasher snapped/broke.
Tools
Pliers and screw driver
Repair & Advice
I was opening the door on my ten year old Bosch dishwasher when there was a pop sound and the door fell open. To open or close the door you now had to support the full weight of the door. I took the bottom panel off and pulled the dishwasher out from under the counter and saw that the left side door return spring had broken. I searched on line for a replacement spring and found it at Parts Dr. Ordered two springs and replaced both since I did not want to have to worry about the right side spring breaking in the future. Springs are right on front sides of the dishwasher; easy to access and replace.

Repair & Advice
One morning my son was closing the door on our Bosch dishwasher when there was a loud 'pop'. Afterwards, anytime the door opened it would not stay 'up', rather it would fall towards the floor rapidly and with a thud. It also would not stay partially open as before. I quickly deduced the problem to be a broken door spring. I looked online and found the part I needed for the replacement on the Parts Dr. website. Since I was pretty certain the other spring might be on its last legs I ordered two of them. Placing the order was quick and easy and I paid a little extra to get them before going out of town at the end of the week. Other than some difficulty pulling the dishwasher out of its location due to some hardwood floor issues, the repair was simple and easy and only took about 5 minutes.
Highly recommend this site for locating parts!
