Frigidaire Cable Or Retainer

The Door Cable is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. It is a component that connects the dishwasher door to the frame, controlling movement when accessing the tub interior.

Causes of a bad cable can be related to wear and tear over extended use, damage from faulty installation, impacts that deform the metal casing, or defects present since manufacture. Regular cycling of the door over many years places repeated stress on the cable.

Symptoms of a bad door cable: 

• Failure to open or close the door smoothly
• Lack of proper alignment
• Snapping/popping noises
• Door not sealing tightly against the gasket.

This OEM replacement part is also compatible with dishwashers made by Electrolux, Kenmore, and some KitchenAid models.

The Spring and Cable Assembly is an OEM replacement part for Frigidaire dishwashers. It contains both a spring and cable that coordinate moving parts to provide a balanced opening and closing of the dishwasher door.

Causes of a bad assembly can include failure of internal spring components due to fatigue from extensive use over time. Cables may also experience wear from constant flexing during door movement.

Symptoms of a bad Spring & Cable Assembly include:

• A sagging or unstable door that does not stay securely closed
• Difficulty smoothly opening and closing the door
• Improper latching that allows door to pop back open
• Excessive noise and vibration occurring during wash cycles

This OEM part fits Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, and some Kenmore models.

This precision-formed link is part of the range/oven door lock mechanism. It connects latch components so the lock engages and releases smoothly, helping ensure safe self-clean cycles and a properly secured oven door. What it does:

• Transfers motion between the lock motor/handle and the latch bolt
• Maintains correct alignment for consistent lock engagement and release
• Common symptoms of a worn/bent link: door won't lock or unlock, self-clean won't start/finish, or door lock error codes; latch action feels loose or binds

• 1 link

• Disconnect power at the breaker before servicing
• Access the latch assembly per your model's service procedure (top/back panel removal is common)
• Note linkage and spring orientation; take photos for reference
• Manually cycle the latch to ensure smooth movement before restoring power

The Door Spring Linkage is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. This part connects the door springs to the dishwasher door, ensuring smooth and balanced opening and closing of the door.

Causes of a bad door spring linkage can include wear and tear from frequent use, physical damage from impacts or mishandling, or deterioration over time.

Symptoms of a bad door spring linkage include:

• The dishwasher door not staying open or closed
• Difficulty in opening or closing the door
• A loose or sagging door
• Unusual noises when operating the door

This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.

This pulley is part of the dishwasher door balance system. It guides the door cable and spring so the door opens smoothly and stays controlled. A worn pulley can make the door feel heavy, drop open, or squeak.

• Routes the door balance cable between the hinge and spring to manage door tension
• Reduces friction for smooth, even door movement
• Helps prevent the door from slamming open or feeling excessively heavy
• Common symptoms: door drops or slams, won't hold a partially open position, squeaks or grinds near the base

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Carefully relieve door spring tension; springs and cables are under load
• Pull the dishwasher forward to access the side frame area where the pulley mounts
• Note the cable routing before removal; install the new pulley and balanced door operation

This pulley guides the dishwasher door's balance cable so the springs can counterweight the door. Replacing a worn or broken pulley restores smooth, controlled door movement and helps prevent the door from dropping or feeling heavy.

• Guides the door balance cable/cord to maintain proper spring tension
• Helps the door open and close smoothly and evenly
• Visible cracks, wobble, or flat spots on the wheel indicate replacement

• Disconnect power and shut off water before servicing
• Remove the toe-kick to access the side spring/cable area
• Support the door and carefully relieve spring tension; note the cable routing through the pulley
• Install the new pulley in the original position and inspect related cable/link and spring for wear

This oven light lens retainer secures the glass light cover to the oven cavity so the bulb area stays protected during cooking. Replacing a damaged or missing retainer keeps the lens firmly in place and prevents nuisance loosening.

• Holds the glass light lens securely inside the oven cavity
• Helps shield the bulb area from splatters and debris
• Direct replacement for a bent, warped, or missing retainer ring
• Common symptoms: lens won't stay in, cover rattles, or difficulty securing the lens after service

• Disconnect power at the breaker and allow the oven to cool completely
• Remove oven racks for easier access to the light cover area
• Support the glass lens while positioning the retainer to avoid drops or chipping
• Secure the retainer per your model's design; do not overtighten

This retainer is a small fastener that secures a component inside your appliance, keeping it correctly positioned during operation. Replacing a damaged or missing retainer helps eliminate looseness and noise while preventing wear from parts shifting.

• Holds a mating part or assembly firmly in place
• Restores proper fit when the original retainer is cracked, warped, or missing
• Common symptoms: loose or misaligned parts, rattling/vibration, rubbing noises
• Helps prevent premature wear from movement or chafing

• Disconnect power; shut off gas and water supplies if applicable
• Use your model's diagram to locate the retainer and match its orientation
• Transfer any reusable hardware and ensure the retainer is fully seated
• Reassemble and run a short test to check for proper operation

A simple wire-fastening cable tie that secures wiring and small hoses to prevent rubbing, snagging, or loose routing inside the appliance. Helps keep components organized for safer, quieter operation. What it does

• Secures wiring bundles and small hoses to chassis or brackets to prevent abrasion and movement
• Helps stop intermittent shorts or electrical noise caused by wires rubbing or contacting other parts
• Keeps airflow and moving parts clear by holding wiring away from fans and belts
• Useful when replacing or re-routing harnesses during repairs

• Always disconnect power before working on the appliance.
• Loop tie around wiring or hose, pull to secure snugly, and trim excess tail; do not overtighten.
• Replace ties that are brittle or damaged; use the same routing as the original harness.
• Dispose of trimmed ends and avoid sharp edges that could cut wiring insulation.

This bushing protects the appliance service cord where it passes through the cabinet, reducing wear and preventing chafing that can expose wiring. It's a simple replacement that restores a safe cord entry point. What it does:

• Cushions and centers the service cord at the cabinet opening to prevent abrasion
• Helps keep the cord from rubbing on sharp metal edges that can cause insulation damage
• Reduces risk of shorting, sparking, or intermittent power caused by a worn cord
• Commonly replaced when the existing bushing is cracked, missing, or deformed

• One service cord bushing

• Disconnect power (unplug or switch off breaker) before servicing
• Inspect the cord and surrounding insulation; replace the cord if damage is found
• Push the bushing into the cabinet opening, then route the cord through the bushing until seated
• Reuse only if undamaged; do not force a damaged bushing into place
