Problem
Door fell open when unlatched.
Tools
Needed screwdriver to remove kick plate, and wrench to lower the adjustable feet.
Repair & Advice
1. Remove dw from cabinet.
2. Door springs can be attached to one of two different holes in dw frame. Choosing the upper hole puts more tension on the cable, and might make the door open more slowly.
3. When even this didn't solve my problem, I bought a third spring and attached it to the cable on one side of the unit, so that cable has two springs running off of it at two different angles, forming a Y. This created enough tension to cause the door to open slowly, the way it's supposed to.
