How to Troubleshoot & Replace Ge AP3794284 / WD01X10217 Door Hinge Pulley

Ordered 2 new cables (didn't want to do this again real soon). After watching the video, it was a relatively easy repair. The most difficult issue I had was pulling my dishwasher out as there was no flooring under the dishwasher so I couldn't pull it straight out as the surfaces weren't level. 

I followed the guidance given by the repair video. It was very easy to complete the repair. The only problem was that the video did not suggest checking the cable pulley for wear and I had to place a second order because a new cable kept slipping out of the groove and the hook broke. The second order was shipped immediately but FedEx lost track of the package so instead of receiving the parts in 2 days like my first order, it took FedEx 7 days. The Pros were supportive during that fiasco. 

Ordering repair parts from diagrams was super easy. Watched the installation videos, repair was as easy as it appeared. Price of parts was the best I could find, will look here first next time. 

Replaced both door cables and installed door hinge pulley 

The cable ended up being the problem, broken because the nylon pulley wheel was worn out. I replaced the wheel and cable, it took all of 10 minutes. 

I replaced the door cable and hinge arm link. 

Detached the door from the cabinet. I replaced the Arm Link, Pulley, and Door Cables. Reattached the door to the cabinet. 

I heard the part pop and the spring release when I opened the door mid cycle. I did not pull the dishwasher out, but based on what I heard I ordered the parts I thought would work. The Hinge Arm Link cracked and the spring released. I decided to just replace that piece and not the whole cable assembly in case I ever needed that part. Because the parts were so low cost I don't mind having the extra parts. Repair took about 10 min. Getting the dishwasher back in the cabinetry was more effort, though! Saved me a $$$ repair call for sure. 

With the parts you sent, I was able to do the repair in about 15 minutes. I would just like to say thanks for the quick delivery of the parts. My local guy said about 2–3 weeks, you guys had it to me in 3 days! Thanks, again. 

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.
