Door had no tension
The hardest part of the repair was removing and installing the dishwasher from under the countertop. Once it was out the cable link on the left side (looking from the front) was broken. You'll need visegrips to pull the spring to the cable end (which is really nylon rope). I replaced both sides because they were inexpensive and I noticed they were made different than the old ones. Piece of cake once the dishwasher was out.

Door balance link broke, door falls when opened
Pulled diswasher out, removed old part, hooked end of new cord to spring and other end to post (by hand, easy). Also replaced the cord guide/roller with a revised part that came in the kit (both sides, one screw) that eliminated the terrible noise the door previously made whenever it was opened (since new).

Removed broken part, installed new part, tested movementof door, then pushed it all back into place, reinstalled screws to counter and bottom kick plate, did a test again to be sure it all worked, Poured another cup of coffee and put peanut butter on the english muffin, left for work.

the dishwasher door spring link broke.
First we removed the screws that held the dishwasher in place. After pulling the dishwasher out, we could see the spring lying on the ground. (Usually only one breaks at a time so you can see where it goes and how it is hooked up on the one still in place.) We removed the broken link, which is made of plastic and rope, then we hooked the link on the spring and rehooked the spring in the back of the dishwasher. The next step took two people, one person had to hold the spring with tension on it while the other manuvered it around the wheels and then hooked that end up. Push back the dishwasher and replace the screws that hold it in place.

Door would not stayed closed enough for dishwasher to run through full cycle and door would just drop to the floor when opened!
When I received parts I was worried because they looked a bit different than what I had. Not to worry the parts worked perfectly and in less than 15 minutes I was back in business. Thanks Part Select
