How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP4368163 / WD01X10393 Door Cable

The hinge arm link for the left door cable broke so I replaced that part with a door cable (which includes the hinge arm link) and a pulley. The right side door hinge parts were okay but now in hindsight it probably would have been a good time to replace those parts since I had everything apart. The time consuming part is disconnecting and reconnecting the water supply line, drain hose, and electrical cables. The old water supply line was plugged with calcium deposits. Had to replace that with a new flex supply line. The repair would have been shorter if I didn't have to drive to the hardware store for a new water supply line. 

Replaced cable. 

We ordered the parts, which came in a few days, and repaired it ourselves with the help of the video that was online from your store. 

It was an easy fix after watching your video. I pulled out the dishwasher, removed the screw holding the wheel replaced the cable. Then I added the new plastic link and reattached it to the door. It works great. Easy fix. You just need a screwdriver, nut wrench, and pliers. The worst part for me was getting down on the floor to loosen the nuts holding the front kick plate. 

Replaced the spring cables with new ones.. 

Ordered parts from AppliancePartsPros.com through the web site, which is super easy to use. I also was assisted by the onsite help and Samantha who helped me was absolutely wonderful and very helpful getting my order changed when I added an item to it. The whole experience was great. 

Like a pro. easy to do. 

Bought new hinge cable, removed two screws securing dishwasher to counter, pull dishwasher out about foot, unscrewed small pulley wheel, insert new cable, screw in pulley wheel and connect cable to spring and door hinge, push dishwasher back in and secure with counter and you’re done 

I was opening the dishwasher and heard a bang and the door got very heavy. My first thought was to come to this site and order some springs. After reading other reviews, about the springs not being the problem, I figure I would pull it out and look at the problem. It was a broken hinge arm link. By the way my dishwasher has 2 links, 2 cables, and 2 springs. There is one set on each side. I watched the video. I pulled the dishwasher out about 8 inches simply by removing the two screws that secure it to the counter. I did not take off the kick plate as suggested. I also knew that I had about 20 inches of power and water lines so I didn't remove them either. I took care not to damage the linoleum floor when pulling it out. I am lazy; what can I say! I ordered 2 cables, which include the hinge arm link and 2 hing arm links. I was not sure if the cables came with the hinge arm links or if the hinge arm links would fit the current cables. As it turned out. all I needed to replace was the hinge arm links. I used needle nose Vise Grips to hold the cable as I had to work the hinge arm link onto the cable. I did inspect the cable for any wear or damage and there wasn't any. I then checked my work, pushed the dishwasher back in and secured it back to the counter. 

Followed the instructional video posted on the parts order page.
