Product Description

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.

Dishwasher door would drop when opened
I replaced Hinge bushings because they had broke and fell off. I replaced friction sleeves but nothing was wrong with the old ones. I only needed to use one spring. It seems the door only needed the springs to be adjusted out. But the new springs are longer then original springs. Even though part numbers were correct the new springs are n o longer being manufactured to original specifications. Door now work correctly. Thank you for the quick service.
