How to Replace a Spring on a Kenmore Dishwasher Soap Dispenser
- 1). Open the dishwasher door and examine it to familiarize yourself with the location of the screws that secure the inner door to the outer door.
- 2). Remove the screws that hold the inner door onto the outer door, using a Phillips screwdriver. Carefully lift the inner door to gain access to the spring mechanism of the soap dispenser.
- 3). Detach any part of the old spring that is still connected, using a pair of needle-nose pliers if necessary.
- 4). Hook the closed loop of the new spring to the plastic nipple to which the old one was attached. Ensure that the loop is completely attached to the nipple. Attach the hook on the other end of the spring to the loop on the soap dispenser mechanism.
- 5). Replace the inner door and secure the screws.
