plastic holding balance rope, left side broke

Pulled the diswasher out, as I did three years ago. Reattached the spring, connected the plastic fastener to rear arm and then my wife put the front piece of plastic, holding the balance rope, over the hook, at the end of the spring, when I was able to pull the spring, with my pliers, far enough. Then, I pushed the diswaher back into place and reattached the front plate. Time spent about 1 hour
