Door Balance Link Kit

6 Reviews

If your dishwasher door is not opening or closing properly, it may be time to install a new balance kit. This part helps to support the weight of the door as it opens and closes. You should also check on the condition of the door springs as well, as they work with the balance kit and may also need to be replaced when you do this repair. This genuine OEM parts kit includes two door balance links and two door balance mounts with wheels, which will replace both the left and righthand sides. If you do need to replace the springs, please note that these are sold separately and are not part of this kit. Installing the parts is a simple job, however you will need access to both sides of your dishwasher. This will require pulling it out from under your counter or cabinets. You will need a 5/16 nut driver to remove and replace the new balance mounts, and you may need a Philips screwdriver to remove the mounting hardware in order to pull your dishwasher out to work on. This kit can also be known as a door spring cable kit, or the door cable kit.

Friction Sleeve

3 Reviews

The friction sleeve, sometimes called a friction pad, is made of a flexible black plastic and measures a bit over one inch in length. It is designed to reduce the friction between the hinge and the door on your dishwasher, and helps keep it quiet when the door opens and closes. If the door to your dishwasher drops quickly when unlatched, you may need a new friction sleeve. The sleeve is sold individually however there is one located on both the left and right side of the dishwasher. We recommend replacing them at the same time so that they wear evenly. Replacing this genuine OEM part is an easy repair, but it will require you to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter.
