Theresa B Allentown , NJ February 24, 2025 My dishwasher door became very heavy and i suspected that maybe a hinge or a spring had broken at On taking a closer look, I could see that a very small plastic link connecting the spring to the hinge had broken. I checked with APP and thank goodness they had the part. My washer is 35 + years old and now is fine again. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes
