Lorenza July 21, 2014 for Model Number Kitchenaid Superba dishwasher I replaced the door balance kit and now the dishwasher makes an extremely loud screech/creek noise. Nothing seems to be rubbing or binding. We tried bar soap on the cables & lubricant on the rollers. Can you please help me? I noticed that the sting was a little shorter than the original, could that be the reason?
1 Answer Lorenza, You will want to make sure that you installed all parts that came with the kit as this kit was designed due to this type of issue. If all parts were installed you will want to make sure that when the unit is installed that the springs are not rubbing against anything as this is the most likely cause for the issue. Read More...
1 Answer Pawpaw, you'll need to remove power to the dishwasher, remove the lower access panel and pull the dishwasher out a little to access to door balance link kit. Thanks. Read More...

John W November 25, 2013 for Model Number Kitchenaid Dish Washer model unknown (dont have at this time) I purchased and installed balance kit # 8194001.(One cable was broken) It was installed exactly the same way the old parts were and they were the same except for the extra movable pulley. Replaced all parts that came with the kit. After installation the springs and or hinges screech loudly. Lubed pulleys to no avail. Read current questions on your site. 3 addressed the noise issue. One just said the noise came from a part. The other talked about wrapping the springs and the third spoke of putting soap on the cable to stop the noise. None work. Please advise. Thanks for your assistance.
1 Answer Hello John. You need to check and see if the hinges or cable is rubbing something. It has to be binding or rubbing. Maybe the cable is not routed around the pulleys properly. Read More...

Jaime August 19, 2013 for Model Number Maytag DW MDB7749ssawo SER f23208825 This DW was appararently installed without attaching to side. it is not stable and tilts forward if both baskets are pulled out. can I purchase a "strap" or other part to secure this DW to the cabinet? Thank you
1 Answer Jaime, The dishwasher will have 2 tabs at the top for a screw to go to screw into the counter top. You will put a screw in each one and this will keep it from leaning. Read More...
