The Door Cable Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It plays a crucial role in connecting the dishwasher door to the door springs, ensuring smooth and balanced opening and closing. This assembly helps in controlling the door's tension and preventing it from falling open or slamming shut.
Causes of a bad door cable assembly can include wear and tear from frequent use, fraying or breaking of the cable, or damage due to accidental mishandling. Over time, the cable can become less effective, leading to issues with the door's functionality.
Symptoms of a bad door cable assembly include:
- The door falling open unexpectedly
- Difficulty in opening or closing the door
- The door not staying securely in place
- Noticeable slack or damage to the cable
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
