Broken door on dispenser

The only difficultpart was to figure out how to remove the stainless cover from the door. Seems it slides upwards after screws are removed. After that it is self explainatory and goes back together in 5 minutes.

Customer Repair Stories

One of the nylon cables for the door counter balance broke

Preface: I had to remove the dishwasher anyway since I was replacing cabinets. So sitting in the garage it took less than 10 minutes to replace both sides. If I had to do this with dishwasher installed...2 screws pull dishwasher out 6 inches, unhook the spring, unhook the cable, hook new cable, rehook spring. Dido for the other side, slide dishwasher back in place reinstall attachment screws.
All that...max 30 minutes. So easy.
