Door was very heavy due to spring problem
Turn off the power at breaker box. Disconnect the power at dishwasher since I needed to pull the unit all the way out of the cabinet to get to screws on the back side for this model. Find and remove the screws to the cover. Remove cover. In my case, the rope on the connector assembly had snapped. I replaced spring and connector identicall

Broken door spring allows the door to overextend to the floor if not propped.
Simple, removed screws securing machine in the cabinet, then pull the unit out of the cabinet space about 10 inches. Springs are accessible within this extension. You need strong hands to extend the springs and attach them. Once attached, push machine back in place and re-install the anchor screws. In my situation, only one spring was bro

In order to pull out the dishwasher unit there is a door gasket (not the tub gasket) that is flush with the surrounding cabinet. It is an upside down "u" shape in three straight pieces, and i cant figure out how to remove it without damaging it. I am trying to replace the door springs as the door is currently falling all the way open. Is there a way to remove it and put it back without damaging it, or should i try to slide the unit out with the gasket in place? If there is a way to send a picture i can do that. Thank you, bill
For model number LDF7932ST
Hi Bill,
Thank you for your question. Actually you do not have to remove that gasket at all when pulling out your dishwasher. To remove the gasket, you actually have to remove your mounting brackets at the top of your dishwasher and then pull the machine out a little bit. You would then slide the left and right sides up from your dishwasher and then pull your gasket off. I hope that helps! Good luck with your repair.
