Sounds like there is too much tension on the springs. check the where the springs are set on the door and adjust those, there should be several slots where you can set them.

I am a recently retired appliance engineer of 20 years generally speaking the door has plastic guides which are just inside the machine where the hinge goes, it sounds like these are worn, to get to view these the side panels have to be removed, sometimes a difficult job, if a built in appliance then all the unit needs to be pulled out, could be an easy repair? once access is gained to the guides sometimes the cost or difficulty outweighs the difficulty of the repair with hinges, easy to make problem worse if not careful if this helps please rate me

How do I clean dishwasher its starting to leave whiet spots on dishes
Good Afternoon Friend,

I understand you want to know how to clean your Frigidaire dishwasher, model# PLD2560LCC, as it is starting to leave white spots on your dishes. Please follow these simple instructions:

1. Load your clean dishes and glasses in a normal manner. Do not load any metal utensils or silverware.
2. Do not add detergent.
3. Select the NORMAL WASH cycle. Close and latch door. Press START/CANCEL pad.
4. Allow your dishwasher to run until it starts the second water fill (approximately 10 minutes). The SENSING light will be off.
5. Unlatch and open the door and pour 2 cups of white vinegar into the bottom of your dishwasher.
6. Close and latch the door and allow cycle to finish.

Note: If these conditions persist, a home water softener should be considered.

I ask that you please follow up with a comment on the post, at your convenience, to advise if further troubleshooting is needed or if your appliances status has changed successfully. Hope this is helpful.

-Best Regards-

Having trouble with dishwasher- I feel like dishes are not getting clean- will replacing circuit board on dishwasher help dishing become cleaner?
You may need to clean out the filters that keep food from being pumped up to spray out of the sprayers. This will depend on your make and model as to how to do this. Clogged filters will reduce the amount of water being sprayed. Try opening the door mid cycle to see if there is a vigorous spraying action. If the water being sprayed is underwhelming, it may be clogged filters.

Whirlpool quietpartner I Dishwasher wont clean anymore.
you need to take the blades that spin out and clean them off they have grime on them, is there water still in the bottom of the dishwasher when done> if so there is a plastic grate in the bottom rear of the dishwasher you need a 1/4 inch nut driver take the cover off and clean the debris out, there is a small stainless steele cutting blade in there be careful, it is to cut up foods that might not be washed off before putting dishes in the washer, also it is pressure that makes the detergent door open make sure you are getting full pressure comming into the waher, if non of this works the pump should be replace or it;s new dishwasher time

START/RESET LIGHT STAYS CONTINUOUSLY ON
you do not mention the make or model nor do you mention if this was the case since purchasing dishwasher. But before you repost, turn off your breaker to the dishwasher for at least a minute to reset the dishwasher. Hopefully this works. The other options get far more involved and some of them are not for most DIY.

Door won't open
Call the store where you bought it or the GE repair service, you should be covered under warranty, this should not happen on a new machine.

Where does the detergent go?
There is a circle on the door. When you have loaded the dishes, pour the detergent on the door to fill the circle and close the door.

Try a different detergent such as the electrosol tablets. Also might add vinegar to an empty cycle to clean dishwasher, or with dishes.

Dishwasher does not clean. soap door does not open every time.
Well the 2nd part of your question is probably the the reason it doesn't clean. If the soap door doesn't open then the dishes will probably not be cleaned. So.. I would focus on why the door doesn't open first.. is it sticking from old soap residue? If so, clean the dispenser with white vinegar and cycle it a few times without detergent and use the hottest/sanitary setting.. Then make sure you are using an approved dishwashing detergent for yuour wash cycle. Add some detergent to the dispenser and try cycling it without any dishes .. does the door open? If no, then you need to resolve that first.. If it does open, try running a cycle with about 1/2 the normal dish load and see if the door opened and the dishes came out clean.. Routinely, check and clean the drain filter so you aren't redistributing the food sediment from the previous load all over the next load of dishes.. Hope that helps..

Not Drying
I found that if the rinse agent (Jet Blue) has run out the dishes stay wet.

Adjusting the door on a neff dishwasher
I have the same problem with my newly installed Miele integrated dishwasher. The door does not stay open when you are trying to load dishes. I heard that there is an adjustable internal mechanism to adjust the tension on the door. But, I am still working on solving my problem.
