Is This the Right Part?

Common Symptoms

• Door will not close properly
• Noisy door operation
• Door latch failure
• Door slams or falls open when lowered
• Frayed or broken balance rope/cable
• Cracked or worn plastic clips

Check Before Replacing

• Inspect both balance cables/links for fraying, breakage, or separation.
• Inspect the plastic cable connectors and wheel mounts for cracks or wear.
• Open and lower the door carefully to check whether it is unusually heavy, falls freely, or lacks normal resistance.
• Check both sides because the kit replaces the left and right balance assemblies.
• Inspect the door springs as well if the door remains poorly balanced after the link kit is checked.

• Disconnect power before servicing the dishwasher.
