Overweight Door Panel

Dishwasher door falls when opened due to overweight panel

Miele · Dishwashers (G-Series)

What does Overweight Door Panel mean?

The custom door panel installed on the dishwasher exceeds the maximum weight limit. This causes the door springs to distort, leading to the door falling open rather than staying in position.

Common Causes

  • Custom door panel is too heavy for the dishwasher's door springs.
