Part 12004119 Dishwasher Door Hinge Spring and Cable Repair Kit
Purpose
Counterbalances and regulates dishwasher door opening tension.
Details
The 12004119 Hinge Spring and Cable Repair Kit acts as a mechanical counterbalance system for the dishwasher door. Installed within the lower side panel tracking, these components apply precise resistance to counteract the weight of the front panel assembly. This tension prevents the heavy door from falling down abruptly when unlatched and makes closing the door smooth and manageable. Over extended use, constant friction can fray or snap the nylon cords, and the high-tension steel springs can stretch out or break entirely. Common symptoms of failure include a door that drops rapidly to the floor when opened, a door that feels excessively heavy, or physical misalignments that compromise the watertight door seal.
Included Items
Two tension springs with integrated mounting plates, two hinge cables/cords, two spring clips, and instruction sheet. Required tools: Phillips screwdriver, pliers.
