I went out to a customers house and they said the dishwasher door would just fall when opened, no tension at all on it.
I removed the lower access panel below the door and saw the door balance link cable had broken. I replaced it with a new one and it works great!
Here’s the door balance link cable for this model:

There is a Video Included in the part link that shows you how to replace it!

The Holiday season is a time for family and friends to join us for the special get-together in which food and fun go hand in hand. With that comes cooking those wonderful meals everyone can enjoy. Dishwashers are used much more this time of year and to get the full cleaning power its always best to make sure your dishwasher is in prime working order.
We recommend using a dishwasher cleaner to reduce mineral deposits that can build up over time.
Affresh dishwasher cleaner with deodorizer – 6 tablets
Affresh dishwasher cleaner keeps your dishwasher fresh by penetrating, dissolving and removing mineral deposits and odor.
To purchase replacement parts for your dishwasher, search http://www.repairclinic.com/Shop-For-Parts using your appliance’s model number.
You don’t need to clean the interior of your dishwasher if you use it regularly. If it goes un-used for a week or more and begins to mold or smell bad, you can clean it using Glisten Dishwasher Cleaner and Deodorizer.
Just clean the exterior of your dishwasher with a damp sponge and a little dish detergent.
Try RoVer Rust Remover to remove rust stains from the inside of your dishwasher.
If the plastic coating wears off of the tines of the dish racks in your dishwasher, they may corrode and rust. We have repair kits available for those tines in Light Blue, Gray and White. These repair kits can be found in our Dishwasher Dishrack Parts section.
On many dishwashers, there’s a filter near the bottom, or under the lower spray arm that needs to be cleaned regularly. If you have this sort of filter, check your owner’s manual to find out how to remove and clean it. If it has holes in it, replace it to protect the pump and motor seals from particles that may be in the dishwasher.
Over time, the small holes in the spray arm(s) of your dishwasher may become clogged with bits of paper, toothpicks, glass, etc. Your dishwasher will do a better job of cleaning your dishes if you take a moment to clean out these small holes, from time to time.
