66512762K313 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

Using Phillips screw driver, removed 2 screws at top of unit, slid it out from under counter. Removed and replaced both sides. The hardest part was to keep the blanket on the unit which I solved with duct tape. Slid the unit back in place and works fine. The repair man wanted $29 to come out and $150. To repair

pulled it out, saw 'pulley' was fine, and put cord on spring and puled it enough to hook it on other end.end after running cord around the 2 pulleys, as it was on the other side. push it back and done.

Just like the video; remove the 2 nuts off the kick plate, remove the 2 screws under the counter, pull the unit out, ease the spring off the cable, nut drive the pully assembly's off, install the new ones, place new rope/cable from the door arms onto pullys, attach the spring, push the unit back into place, replace screws and the kick plate. Took 15 minutes.

just move the machine out and replace the string. this site is very reliable and and great company. since the dishmachine door cannot be closed, we first order door strike, ,,,, still doesn't work after installation. and return all parts and order the balance kit, now works fine after. we appreciate your help

Followed directions here. Extremely easy repair.

Started the rope onto the top holder, threaded the rope around the rollers and using the pilers pulled the spring forward to attach the other end of the rope.

Pretty easy for the parts. Taking the dishwasher out is the hard part. Typically, you should be able to unscrew the 2 screws holding the dishwasher to the underside of the countertop and then slide out the dishwasher to expose the cable assembly - but you also need to unplug the unit (unless it is hardwired), disconnect the hot water supply line from the angle stop (remember to turn off the angle stop) and sometimes disconnect the drain line from the vacuum breaker or garb disposal. You need to disconnect these things so that you can move the dishwasher out far enough to be able to see the entire right and left sides of the dishwasher. Once that hard part is done, you use a hex driver to remove the old cable pulleys, put on the new cable pulleys, and then feed the light weight cable through the pulleys - the end with the big plastic thingie attaches to the door and the other end attaches to the spring. Then you grab the spring and manhandle it onto the back end of the dishwasher chassis (look for the small hole in line with where the cable would line up. Careful as the spring attachment step could result in an injury - Hope this helps.

Shut off power to dishwasher.Pulled dishwasher half way out from cabinet, careful not to disconnect waterline, drain-line, and electrical connections. Replaced roller assemblies and connected new door balance links to springs as shown in the great video featured on your website. Thank you for the great pricing, speedy service, and the install instructions. I am happy!

Our experience was amazing. The part itself simply needed to be replaced: dropped into the lower rack and it was done. The amazing part was the wonderful service that this site provided. We discovered our initial mistake, contacted the company, and received instructions for how to return it. Then we ordered the tine and it was sent immediately. Just received confirmation that the returned lower rack had been received, so the process is complete to our great satisfaction. This site really has it down for providing excellent customer service. They are terrific!! Thank you!

followed your very well done video clip exactly.

Unscrewed mounting screw at top and bottom of duahwasher, pulled out dishwasher could see the pully on one side had broken. installed new part put dishwasher back in place and rescrewed mounting screws.

1st pull dishwasher out. attach the new cable to the spring. reinstall the spring on the frame. Use pliers to pull slack in the cable to attach the cable to the door. The hardest thing about the install was putting the screws in the side of the dishwasher to the cabinets.

Received the part. No instructions came with it. Luckily it was pretty simple to figure out. i removed the appliance from under the counter, saw how the part was attached on the other side and simply replaced the other side that was broken. Easy.

Disconnect top screws
Pull dishwasher out halfway
Notice how the other side is connected
Thread cord, use pliers to pull spring to connect.

The repair itself was relatively easy. I basically only had to remove the two screws that were securing the diswasher to the cabinetry, disconnected the water line and extended the diswasher out approximately 10 inches. I then replaced the part by hooking the new cable assembly to the spring and using pliers expanded the spring so I could snake the other end of the cable through the pulleys and attach it to the door. The otherside was my guide. This part should be modified to replace the two plastic ends with metal counterparts. This would allow the part to have a longer life especially in my case since the plastic end broke and not the cable itself.
