Advice re door on Miele Dishwasher please

Model G686 SCI plus 3
30/64635373

Does anyone know if the door spring tension can be adjusted on this integrated dishwasher. Customer says the tension is too strong.
She apparently phoned Miele and they said it can be adjusted, but declined a service call to do the job.
Have taken bottom access panel off, no sign of any adjuster there, could it be at the top of the dishwasher. Have got to go back with a spare for another machine, so thought I would ask, before having to unbuild the dishwasher.

Any help appreciated

At the top of dishwasher, when you open door, just inside you should see a screw, located just to the left of centre, this is used to tension the door springs, clockwise to tighten door, anti clockwise to loosen. If an unusually heavy cabinet door is fitted different springs can be ordered of different colours & tensile strength.
For Miele freestanding dishwashers or earlier integrated ones there are different holes to position spring into.
Just remove both side panels & you’ll see what i mean.

Thanks Seamy for the info, will take a look at the machine when I return.

I have never taken on any Meile before, just that I was in the house re a T/D and a cooker, and customer asked about the dishwasher.
