Parts were a perfect upgrade and replacement.
May 09, 2026|Randy, California

My Kenmore Elite dishwater had a spring link break, causing the door to crash down when opened. The replacement kit not only covered both sides, it was an upgrade to the original part. I am thrilled by the correct part and quick delivery.

diswasher door cable and pulleys

Installation was easy. It fit my 20 year old dishwasher perfectly. The old plastic parts had broken and the door would fall open without the new parts. Very happy.

Easy replacement
April 15, 2022|Bob69, Horseheads, NY

I had the left side string break. This kit has newer designs for the string and pulleys. I only slid the washer 1/3 of the way out to replace both sides so I didn't have to disconnect the water or power. Easy job and now the door works like new.
