pulled dishwasher out of cabinet, removed side panel held by screws front and back, removed broken tension rope installed new rope, replaced side panel pushed dishwasher back into cabinet and fastened to countertop, door works like new now, (the chief cook is happy as she can be)
Our dishwasher door would drop open and land on our feet.
My husband was able to slide the dishwasher out, and quickly replace the old connector assembly for the new ones. The old connector assembly had broken at the “rope”. Now the door opens slowly and is as good as new.
The repair took right at one hour. Repair length of time will depend on what all you have to disconnect to get your dish washer out so you can remove both side panels where you will be able to access the door springs, etc. There is a door spring on each side and I recommend replacing both connectors cords while you have the dishwasher out. Mine were both broken. One thing I noticed when doing my repair was that the bracket that is on the bottom of the door was not aligned properly to the small pulley that the connector cords travels under. If yours is out of alignment you will be able to tell once you get the connector cord installed. I used heavy pliers to bend the bracket slightly inward so the connector cords rides in the center of the pulley and not off to the outside as before. This may be why mine broke in the first place. After part replacement, reinstall the door panels and put the washer back in service. There are also YouTube's of this repair so you can see what you are getting into. Basic repair.
Removed two screws (one each side) and the toe kick plate at the bottom. Slide the dishwasher out from the cabinets about 10", remove broken cord clip from door and spring. Install door clip and wrap cord around pulley , attach to spring then attach spring to door, lifting the door will help attach the spring. Do one side of the door at a time.
Cables have broken about every 3-6 months after original ones broke after 8 years. Removed front kick plate screws and remove kick plate, and remove two top screws holding Dishwasher to counter-top. Pull dishwasher out about 10 inches. Remove all broken parts and replace cables. Side dishwasher back in place and reinstall removed screws. I just hope these Cables last longer than the ones I had bought from another source. I have replaced those Cables 5 times already and hope these last MUCH longer. Delivery was very fast from PartSelect.
Very easy just took out two screws that held the dishwasher to counter top.Then pulled dishwasher out just far enough that both door cables are exposed.The hardest part for me was getting the spring stretched enough to clip on.This was a easy installation for most people.
The parts are wrong and am trying to return them. There was no return information included with delivery. Calling the Customer Service number for assistance did not work.
I would just like to return these rollers and would like a return address.
same as in the video , but the double red wire is on the wrong terminal you have to break the plastic housing on the dishwasher and put it on the first one next to the white wire .if you hook it up the way it is the dishwasher wont work and when you open the door the dishwasher turns on . watch the video real close when it gets to the wire connections you see the double red wire goes over one pin to the one next to the white wire . works fine after that.
I ordered four wheels to replace the two that were broken and to have two as spares. The wheels are to be snapped onto the bottom of the lower basket. The new wheels broke upon being installed. My extra wheels came in handy. I put them in very hot water for a few minutes to soften the plastic. I put a little Vaseline on the post they were to be attached to. The wheels then slid on and snapped correctly.
