Unsure if the following free manual is for your dishwasher or not, as it has a brand name of Zanussi. You can add information using the Comment menu to reply or respond here. In searching the internet, using https://www.google.com, several searches suggested people could not locate an actual instruction manual on the manufacturer web site years ago.

If the door won't stay shut the issue is with the door catch not the door springs, But if you want to know where the door springs are you need to remove the outer cabinet of the dishwasher and you will see them on the lower sides.

Check it is draining properly, if it is then the water level sensor is blocked, usually a small pipe running from the sump up the side of the machine to an air pressure switch, often gets blocked where it joins the plastic sump.

It probably needs a new spring on the soap box but to be honest you can just throw the tablets in the machine it will work just as well

Hi,

Here is a tip that will help you to find out why water will not come into the dishwasher...

You should have one at the bottom corners of the door. Pull the dishwasher out about a foot and you should be able to see the broken spring and the hooks it connects to. Screws under the counter top hold the dishwasher in.

there is springs on left and right side held by string and spring. one is broken.letme know how it turned out.

Sounds like one of the doors springs is broken or has come detached from the dishwasher housing frame. If you have a plain dishwasher door, ie one that does not have a wood panel matching your cabinets, and the spring(s) are broken, new springs cost about $20. If you have wood panel on the dishwasher door, then you may need heavy duty replacement spring at about $22.

You need to remove both side panels to allow you to gain access to door counterbalance springs. Visually see what is broken or come off of allignment then rectify.
