Product Description
If the door to your dishwasher drops suddenly when opening, there may be an issue with your connector assembly. It works by connecting the door hinge to the door spring, which applies tension and prevents the door from dropping quickly. To replace this part, you will need to pull the dishwasher out from under the cabinet in order to access the spring. This part is sold individually, but you may want to consider replacing both the right and left-hand side connector assemblies, as they can wear at similar rates. This genuine OEM part has a black plastic portion on each end of a white rope that measures approximately 12-inches in length.

Unscrewed 2 small screws at top holding it to counter top.
Removed lower kickplate panel and insulation.
Slid unit forward only about a foot or less...just till you can see springs. (there are no side panels on your dishwasher)
Saw one cab ... Read more le was totally snapped, other was weak and frayed.
Took picture of assembly first...then just removed spring and cable from pulley and door latch and reattached new parts in about 30 seconds. (Nothing to it!)
Did both sides. You'd be crazy to mess with the job for only one side, etc.
Note: Always do both spring and cable sets at same time. Springs may "look" fine...but after several years you can feel the difference in tightness when you pull to connect the cable to it. Took apart the old set by hand, but needed pliers to pull the spring enough to attach the new cable.
Tested it before putting it all back up under the counter.
I swear it is BETTER than new. All for about $40!

Steps:
1) Needed to disconnect power supply > at main breaker panel, I turned off the main breaker for the dishwasher > i then removed the kickplate from the base of the unit, then removed the connector pan ... Read more el (right hand side) and then loosened the cable connector (two screws holding the cable clamp). I then removed the three wire nuts (hot, neutral and ground) and finally, pulled the mains cable from the connector housing.
2) Needed to disconnect the water supply line > turned off the water supply connection under the kitchen sink. Using a 1/2 " wrench, i needed to loosen the water line and drained the water into a couple of paper towels.
3) Open the door of the unit and remove the two screws fixing the retainers to the underside of the kitchen counter.
4) Pull the unit from under the kitchen counter > Make sure you have room to open and close the dishwasher door!
5) Remove both side panels from the unit > there are three screws on the rear lip (where side panel is secured to the main unit) and two screws on the front side, right where the door closes against the unit.
6) Look down towards where the door hinge joins to the main unit (left side hinge is on the bottom right corner, right side hinge is on the bottom left corner.
7) The connector assembly is pretty much a piece of rope that holds the door to the main unit > look for a broken piece of rope!
8) With the door CLOSED, replace the old connector on one side of the unit (doesn't matter which, left or right side) > the dishwasher side is connected to a big spring, the rope then passes around/under a pulley/bearing to the connector on the door the door side is connected to a hook on the door.
9) Repeat step 8 on the opposite side of the unit.
10) BEFORE you replace the sides of the unit, try opening and closing the door a few times to make sure you have the pieces in the correct location!
11) Reattach the sides of the dishwasher.
12) Get the long piece of string and tie it around the power cable for the unit... My dishwasher has a power cable that will get stuck and caught under the dishwasher when i push it back under the counter!
13) Pull the string out from the front of the unit and push the dishwasher back in place.
14) Reconnect the water line
15) Reconnect the power line
16) Screw in the retainers under the counter
17) Reattach the kick plate
