Door Cable and Eyelet WD7X14

I used Partselect.com website to educate myself on parts needed for my model of dishwasher. Also reviewed repair instructions by others on the website and learned repair and replacement was straight forward and simple. I ordered parts from Partselect.com, they came promptly, and were the correct parts. Based on the repair instructions, I ...

I opened the dishwasher door. My wife had already cleaned the corners of the tub where the old baffles had been, so I pressed the new baffles into place with my fingers - no tools were required for baffle installation.

Remove bottom cover diswasher place the eyelet on the side of door attach the spring to the cable thats it. . . Thank you!!!

connected cable to door springs, eyelet to hook on door frame then pulled cable under rollers on bottom of frame.... works like it was made to work

This was a simple fix. I removed the bottom panel and the broken springs for the door were exposed. Just a matter of putting the new ones around the pulleys on each side of the unit and connect the springs to one end of the cable and to the side of the door where they just slide on.

After removing the lower panels below the door, I was able to see the broken cable. After looking at a diagram on your web site I identified and ordered the part. It arrived within 24 hours. It was easy to install. Total repair took about 1/2 hour.
