My Diswasher was leaking from around the door gasket.
I ordered a new door gasket and door spring. I unscrewed the two screws that hold the dishwasher in place and pulled it out. I pulled the old broken spring off with pliers and installed the new one ,,,very easy. I then took the new door gasket and soaked it in hot water in the sink for 15 min. That made it very soft and pliable to work wi
... Read moreth. I used pliers to pull the old gasket out then cleaned the area around the old gasket where crud had built up. I pushed in the new gasket working from top to bottom one side at a time. Turned it on an ran through a cycle and it works perfect now ,,,no leaks.
I removed the front panel below the door. There are 4 Hex screws, two at the top (accessible with the door open) and two at the bottom. After removing the screws, the panel came off, and I could reach inside to replace the springs. I found it easier to use a socket wrench than a screw driver. Easily done. Anybody can do it. It took l

old springs were broken
used the pliers to grip the end of the spring, extended it and removed it from the door and frame. The install then followed. It takes longer to remove the front panel than to do the repair.

Spring broke
Removed 2 screws from the Access Panel and 2 screws from the Toe Plate using a Phillips head screwdriver. The broken spring was removed and replaced using the opposite spring as a guide as to the position of the spring. The opposite side (the unabroken one) was replaced. The panels were screwed back into place. End of repair.

Broken dishwasher door spring
Removed the lower panel (two screws near the floor, two screws with the door open).
Remove screws holding the top of the dishwasher in place.
Remove two screws holding the incoming water switch.
Pull the dishwasher out to access the left side of the dishwasher.
With the door closed remove the sp
... Read morering (replaced both left and right).
Test the motion of the door.
Reverse the process 1. push dishwasher back in 2. Attach water switch bracket 3. Attach top screws that hold the dishwasher in place 4. Replace lower panel 5. Attach screws for lower panel
Test the door motion,
I replaced the gasket a couple of years ago for less than $50. The springs with shipping for less than $25. I wonder how much longer the dishwasher will last. The repairs are easier than putting in a new dishwasher and a whole lot cheaper.

door would "fall" open
Removed the "kick plate" (4) screws. the hard part was attaching the springs to the door hooks. you cannot see them, have to go by feel. then stretch them to lower frame. attached the lower door trim piece with three screws.
Door sagging when open & sever water leak from door.
The parts arrived 20 hours after ordering -great service & the parts were just like like the removed parts only new. The old door gasket was pulled from its groove & and the new gasket was installed witout using tools. No more leaking water.The door spring installation wesa bit more difficult. The front bottom was removed with a nut drive
... Read more, the broken springs were fished out, new springs were pull onto the arms and the cover put back in place. Not a bad job for a crippled, one-eyed 82 year old man.
We removed the bottom access panel, and were able to remove the broken spring. As others have suggested, we ordered two new springs, so we could replace them both at the same time. Unlike others, we didn't have to move the dishwasher out a few inches to access the springs. An easier repair than it might have been!

Replaced both door springs, door still falls.Have to always lock or door will fall open. Thanks
For model number FDB768GCC0
Hi Steve, Thank you for the question. If the springs did not fix the issue you may need to replace the Arm assembly,PartSelect Number: PS457862. If they are warped and not holding the door level you will have this issue as well. hope this helps!
