Manufacturer Part Number: WD7X14

The Dishwasher Door Cable is an OEM replacement part for GE dishwashers. It works with the door latch assembly to ensure secure closure of the dishwasher door. The cable is responsible for connecting the door handle mechanism to the latch, allowing users to easily open and close the door with a gentle pull or push. Note: It is recommended to replace both at the same time.

Symptoms of a bad door cable include: 

  • The door not fully latching or staying closed securely
  • Excessive movement or play of the door when closed
  • The cable becoming worn, frayed, or detached

Causes of a bad cable can be frequent use that results in wear and fatigue of the internal wiring over time. Damage from harsh detergents or excess moisture can also compromise the cable.

This OEM GE replacement part is compatible with models from Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore dishwashers as well.

Hello Estelle! Follow these steps to replace the dishwasher door cable. Hope this helps! 1. Using a Philips' head screwdriver, remove the four screws holding the lower front panel (below dishwasher door). 2. Remove the faulty eyelet cable(s) hooked into the springs at one end and the door hinges at the other. 3. Take the new eyelet cables and hook them onto the door hinge on either side. Ensure a secure fit. 4. Guide the eyelet cable around the spinwheel on one side and insert the hooks of the springs into the eyelets. 5. Pull on the springs and insert their hooks into the eyelets of the other cable, ensuring a secure fit. 6. Test the door by opening and closing it a few times to ensure the spring has tension. 7. Replace the lower front panel cover removed in step 1 with its screws.

Hello Eric. Yes, it uses two cables WD7X14. One on each side under the door. The cable hooks to the ends of the spring and the other end of the cable attaches to the frame. Hope this helps.

Hi Hugh. This is an improvement on the system ,since your springs have been revised as the same as ths cable hooks. Dishwasher Door Cable - It is reccomended to replace both since they wear at the same rate. Thank you.
