The spring broke before the hook part on the spring.
Removed screws holding the dishwasher on the side of the cabinet. Removed the screws from the bottom plate of the dishwasher. Pulled out the Dishwasher from under the cabinet about 1 foot . Removed broken Spring from left side of bottom holder making sure not to drop the plastic swivel arm from the bottom metal bracket. Put the new spring, short loop side end in the plastic swivel arm and expand the long side spring end to the upper bracket holder. Their are 4 different tension slots depending upon how tight you want the front door to open or close. I put the spring on the 2nd slot Put dishwasher back under the counter, screwed bottom plate & side in.
Unfortunately, my experience was unlike that of the other people who posted. While everything did go back together it was very difficult to get it all to press down tightly enough to tighten each set of screws. The project took about 2.5 hrs and I still don't think it is exactly right. I'm still going to have a professional out to finish the job. Also, the tool needed to complete the job was nothing fancy, but also not in everyone's home tool kit.
received new basket without a basket handle; had to remove handle from old basket & attach it to new basket; took 2 separate tries to remove old handle & each try took about an hour; used screwdriver & pliers but had to be careful not to break handle; eventually used dimes to pry open & hold the attached sections of the handle open in order to free the handle from the old basket; we sure hope the new basket lasts a lot longer than the 2 years that the old basket lasted before it broke.
I removed the main plastic bolt with a pliers and then just used a screwgun with a star tip for all the screws. I am a 43 year old woman with no experience and I was able to figure it out. The machine cleans much better now.
handle did not work properly and unit would not turn off when door was opened
I removed the inside door panel, unplugged the old assembly and replaced with the new. The only caveat is that I THOUGHT the unit came WITH a new plastic handle, and it did not. It was very difficult to remove the handle from the old unit, and to install it in the new unit. The description was not adequate. I had read other blogs and they warned of the same missing handle, and I thought I had ordered correctly. The repair is fine, but the old handle is cracked, so I dont know how long it will last.
1. remove inside door panel 2. verified the part needed using partselect web site (entire latch assembly). 3. removed connecting wire sockets and replaced part and door (simple process).
First I made sure the breaker for the appliance was turned off!
I only had to unscrew all the screws from the inside door.
Next I used pliers to pry the old Latch Assembly (it is all pig tailed so only to plugs to undo).
Next, I snapped the new Latch Assembly into the two sockets.
Screws were replaced and wa la!
Turned breaker on and tested. Easy as pie. Took about 10 minutes from collecting the tools, fixing the problem, and replacing all the tools.
I actually had my 14 year old daughter do it so that she could learn how to make small repairs. This would have easily cost approximately $150 for a repairman to come and fix.
Then we went to the garage and unstuck the valve on the carberator to our '75 Chevy! (it was cold).
Ordered part. (Part was larger than the original . That is it dis not fir int supports tha same as rhe original. Hut i modifird the support by assin copper wire to fanten the heater to the supports.) The instalation was no pronlem with a little engineering. Works like a charm, Wife Happy Most important result. Elmer
I watched a couple of videos on Youtube, and for once it was actually easier than anticipated. Unplug unit. Remove door screws. Separate inner door from outer door. Remove connector from dispenser (needed flat blade screwdriver to pry it at first.) Remove six screws holder dispenser in. Removed old dispenser, inserted new one, tightened six screws, re-connected wires, attached inner door to outer door, and was done in literally less than 10 minutes. Note: I was using a battery powered screw driver to remove the screws, so that's one reason why it went so fast.
one of the upper wheel glide assemblies broke so I decided to replace all four.
1. Removed the guide end clips/stops by pressing the release tabs. 2. Slide out and remove the upper dishwasher tray. 3. Released all four upper wheel assemblies and replaced with four new ones. I did use a flat blade screwdriver to slip the clip off the tray hold and then removing the wheel assembly was easy. 4. Reinstall the upper dishwasher tray by aligning it with the guides (very easy). 5. Reinstalled the plastic tray guide clips/stops by pressing them back into place. Make sure the tabs lock into place properly. 6. Enjoy hassle free dishwashing again!
It was very easy to replace the broken door spring, I received the new spring from PartsDirect in two days. I removed the 6 screws holding the dishwasher to the counter and pulled it out from the counter about a foot, no need to disconnect the power and water. I simply replaced the broken spring using the right side spring as a guide. I pushed the dishwasher back in and reinstalled the screws. I completed this repair in less than 20 minutes.
