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).

Dishwasher door would fall open
Removed the two screws on top and slid the unit out until the spring area was exposed relaced the part and slid back in, it was so easy. The part needed came in a set so I now have a spare. Your rep was so helpful in identifying the needed part for me and the whole expense of parts and shipping was half of what a service call to identify the problem would have been, say nothing of what they would have charged for the part and installation. Thank you I am a lifelong customer now.

Door Hinge Didn't Work, Door Fell Open Without Resistance
Unscrewed the brackets at top of frame to pull the dishwasher out. Hooked the spring back through the hole in the rear housing, hooked the front plastic piece to the door, wrapped the cord around the pulley wheels, streched the spring with a pair of pliers and hooked the other end of plastic to the spring. Very easy. While working also oiled the door.

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.
