How to Troubleshoot & Replace Lg AP4514334 / 4970ED4004D Door Hinge Spring (Dishwasher)

Replaced the cables (ropes) that gave resistance to the door and put new springs while I was at it. I bought two sets, one for each side, and planed to replace both while I had it out. It turned out to be a good choice because the one that had not yet broken was just as worn and would most likely break soon. 

Went to Appliance Parts Pro website - typed in my LG model number - all the parts were displayed. Found the correct part (spring and cable) and ordered them. Received the parts VERY quickly - parts shipped the same day as promised. Very easy repair - just connect the new cable to the door, route it around the pulley, attach the spring and hook the other end of the spring to the cable and stretch and attach the spring to the anchor point. I've ordered parts from Appliance Parts Pro before and they've always been the correct part. And their shipping is FAST, their prices reasonable and there's usually a video showing how to make the repair. I'd recommend APP to anyone. 

I ordered two new springs and cable assemblies. The repair took less than 1/2 hour. 

Replaced all broke parts , it was easy 

It was easy to do I just had to slide the dishwasher out a little ways, pull the side panel back and replace the cable and spring. I'm glad I bought both because I wasn't sure which one actually broke. 

With difficulty 

Replaced two springs and two cable connectors. old springs would of worked with new connectors, but cost of new springs was very reasonable. removing the dishwasher from under the counter takes the most time
