How to fix a Dishwasher door that does not stay in place when opened.

This video will show how to fix a Whirlpool Dishwasher Door that does not stay in place when opened. This fix requires replacing the “Friction Pad” on the door. Part Number WP8268961.
The door on my Whirlpool Dishwasher suddenly would not stay in place. I noticed on the floor a small rubber part. The part is called a “Friction Pad” that is used to keep the door open in any position. I prefer to keep my dishwasher door partially open immediately after washing dishes to help dry the dishes.
I hope you find this video to be helpful. Thank you for watching.

One day out of the blue our dishwasher (Whirlpool) door just would flop open with no resistance. I found this video and this seemed like the logical solution. Ordered the friction pad on Amazon. Once we got the dishwasher out, I became glad I bought only one, not two because that was not the problem. There is actually no friction pad on my model (purchased 2021). The spring had just become unhooked from the door and needed to be rehooked. While this video was great for showing how to get the dishwasher out, beyond that, I was on my own. Just know the friction pad might not be your issue. You may want to investigate before investing in the part and time waiting for it. Thanks for showing me how to get my dishwasher out though!

Thanks there are a few of these vids out that don’t mention the brand. Helpful info, I’ve got a whirlpool with this problem.

This was SOOO helpful. Thank you! I did try just adjusting the springs to adjust the tension but that didn't do much so I added the pads to both sides and now my door stays open at all the way or any portion of the way I want it to.

I have a Whirlpool dishwasher and I found a rubber piece a few months ago on the floor. I threw that piece away. Today 5/7/23 I found the right side rubber piece on the floor. Now the door will not stay up. I always come to y.t. first and usually find a video on how to fix a problem. This video is what I needed to show me exactly how to put new friction pads on. I will order new pads and put them on. Thank you for the tutorial video.
