Jon V Hubbardston , MA June 27, 2015 Door would fall when let go Normally when you let go of the dishwasher door partly open it would stay in that position. But lately when you let go of the door it would fall to the fully open position. Turns out this little cable was broken one one side. Just puss the dishwasher slightly out of the cabinet and you can replace the cable in minutes. It is just held in place with a spring.

Craig H Lancaster , PA April 13, 2015 Appliance: Model WHIRLPOOL Door cable had broken I watched the video- it took longer to get the dishwasher out - in position to be repaired than the actual repair itself. I had to, remove the trim pieces, lower the feet, etc. the repair video was GREAT!. the hardest point was to I D the part that I actually needed. I will be returning some parts that I did not need, but I wanted to make sure that I had the correct parts. Read More...

Alex H Beacon Falls , CT January 17, 2017 The dishwasher door fell down! After making sure the power switch was off I removed both shelves and all the screws holding the washer to the side cabinets. There was enough slack in the drain and water supply hose allowing me to slide the washer out from the cabinets giving access to the broken spring. There are 2 of them but only 1 broke along with the nylon bracket which is attached to the cable. Simply hooked up the new spring and cable while comparing the hookup to the other spring and viola! All done. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 30-60 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
