Go to Partsselect.com and enter the model number of your dishwasher. On most dishwashers the model number can be found on the door I believe. This will show you a diagram of the parts a they often have a video on how to install the new part. Hope this helps.
there are springs with cables in most dishwashers i never had that problem but i did replace one spring that had broken. making it fall to fast. its no to hard if your handy. most appliance parts stors if there good should be able to help if they can be adjusted

not sure why but i can,t see brand of your dishwasher
Door springs are located at the left and right side of the door bottom. You will have to pull the unit a few inches from the installed location to see them. If broken, replace. If one slipped off, reattach.
Yes, I've fixed a few, and was unable to fix a few. You may need to remove the whole cover of the dishwasher to get to the insides. You should find either the springs are broken on both sides of the bottom of the door, or even more likely, the plastic parts between the springs and the body or the door have broken. The parts can be ordered from "Sears Parts" on the inter-net. You will need to provide the model number to look them up. Be blessed.
Could be that, the spring may have unhooked or it could be a defective damper connected to the door. Remove the side panels and check the operation of the door mechanism. (This will probably require the removal of the rear panel to gain access to the necessary fastners).
one of the nylon rope which connects the door hinge to the door spring is broken.usually with time the rope wears out and break.it is preety easy fix. u have to pull the unit about half way out and look for ropes on lhs and rhs bottom of the unit.buy the rope kit(it comes with 2 ropes and plastic roller unit.). just see the one which is not broken and accordingly install the broken one.usually u dont have to install the new rolers unless they are broken.
You have to separate the door panels (as shown in the attached photo)
and then you'll see the previously hidden screws you need to remove.
Or you can watch a YouTube video (not a video I
made) that demonstrates how it's done.
You can find helpful exploded views by entering your full Kenmore model number at the Sears
parts site.
A full Sears/Kenmore
model number has 3 digits, a dot, then 8 more digits, such as

Please be aware that you may have a broken spring mounting tab on the inner door panel.
In such cases, the best way to fix that is to drill a hole in the remaining material, insert the spring, then add a dab of epoxy where they spring attaches to the panel.
