How to Replace a Door Spring on a Bosch Dishwasher SHX45M06UC

Bosch manufactures various electronic appliances, including dishwashers. Like any other dishwasher, a Bosch dishwasher has a front access door that opens to reveal the inside of the dishwasher. The door uses hinges to open. These hinges function via springs. If your dishwasher door isn't opening and closing properly you may need to replace the door spring.
