First of all, it's probably not the door spring, but the hinge cable that's broken. It's essentially a rope with plastic connectors that hook the spring to the hinge. Go ahead and order two new hinges and two hinge cables and replace them all while you're at it. You'll have to pull the dishwasher out by removing the two upper screws in the counter, and the two lower screws in the kickplate. If yours is like mine, it'll also be necessary to shorten the legs to scoot it out. Then, remove the side panels by taking the screws out of the front and back sides - don't miss the one at the bottom. The hinge/spring/cable assembly is right where you expect it to be. If you need further help, Repair Clinic has a good video associated with the proper parts.
