How to Disassemble a Triton XL Dishwasher Door

GE manufactures many home appliances, including dishwashers. The Triton XL is a built-in dishwasher model. If the door on your Triton XL isn't opening and closing properly, it could be the result of a bad hinge or spring. In order to properly diagnose the problem, you can remove the door from the front of the dishwasher. This will give you access to the hinges and springs.
