Common Symptoms
- Door swings freely or feels unusually heavy.
- Door does not open or close smoothly.
- Broken or worn hinge cord or pulley.
- Door may slam shut or fall downward when the pulley-and-cord system is damaged or improperly matched.
Check Before Replacing
- Inspect both hinge pulley-and-cord assemblies for broken, disconnected, or visibly worn cords or pulleys.
- Check whether the door remains open rather than slamming shut after the repair; Bosch states that door operation should be checked after installation.
- Replace both sides with the same pulley and cord style; do not mix older wheeled pulleys with the 00618605 sliding pulleys.
Pro Tip
Replace both pulleys and both cords at the same time, and use matching door-spring tension where required for the door-panel weight.
