Good Day Dustin. Thank you for your question in regards to your unit (Model Number GDF520PSD0SS). Based on our research, we have found the following steps that should help you replace the door springs: 1) To replace a door spring on your dishwasher, you will need to uninstall the appliance first. 2) To do this, turn off the power to your dishwasher and shut off the water supply valve. 3) Use a quarter inch socket or nut driver to remove the screws securing the lower access panel. 4) Remove the panel along with any insulation. 5) Use channel lock pliers to help unthread the water supply line fitting from the inlet valve 6) Be prepared for some water to spill. 7) Next, use a 5/16 inch socket or nut driver to unthread the screw securing the junction box cover. 8) Pull the cover off. 9) Note the location of the wires then untwist the wire nuts to disconnect the wires. 10) unthread the strain relief nut and detach the strain relief from the junction box. 11) Next, disconnect the drain hose from the sink or garbage disposer and feed it through the cabinet. 12) Open the dishwasher door and remove the mounting bracket screws. 13) to move the dishwasher, you may need to adjust the legs to lower the appliance. 15) Now, to avoid damage very carefully pull the dishwasher away from the cabinet. 16) Use pliers to help detach the door cable from the hinge and detach the cable from the old spring. 17) Remove the old spring. 18) Install the new door spring by hooking one end onto the mounting screw. 19) Now attach the door cable to the other end. 20) Align the cable on the pulley then reattach it to the hinge. 21) Make sure the end of the drain hose is accessible through the cabinet wall then gently slide the dishwasher back into the cabinet. 22) Adjust the leveling legs if necessary. 23) Replace the screws to secure the mounting brackets to the cabinet or countertop. 24) Feed the drain hose through the cabinet and connect it to the sink drain or disposer. 25) Make sure the hoses elevate it above the connection point. 26) Fully position the wire strain relief in the junction box and secure the strain relief nut. 27) Connect the wires using the wire nuts. 28) Align the cover and replace the screw to secure. 29) Reconnect the water supply line to the inlet valve. 30) Replace any insulation. 31) Reposition the lower access panel and secure it with the screws. 32) With the repair completed turn the water supply back on as well as the power and your dishwasher should be ready for use.

Hello Josef, thank you for contacting us. We have concluded that the issue is with the flood switch, part number PS8690623. A faulty flood switch will cause the washer to overfill and thus leak. We would recommend replacing it to fix the issue. Glad to be of help!

Hi Josef, thank you for contacting us. Based on our research, we have concluded that the issue is with the heating element, part number PS16729156. It heats the water during the dishwashing cycle and helps dry the dishes at the end of the cycle. We would recommend replacing the heating element to fix the issue. Glad to be of help!

Hi Lou, Thank you for the question. Here are some installation instruction. First removed the 2 screws at the bottom of the door. Open the door all the way and pulled the door back on the hinges until you can pull out the bottom gasket. Slide the new gasket back in place and pushed the door back down on hinges and replace the 2 screws. We hope this helps!
