Jd February 07, 2025 for Model Number MDB8969SDH0 Our Maytag dishwasher’s door falls down when it’s opened. Should I replace door balance kit.Thanks.
1 Answer George, if the appliance is level and there is not an obstruction that would prevent the latch from operating, it is likely that the latch WD13X71 has failed. It would need to be inspected directly for failure while the door panel is disassembled. Unfortunately, this part has been discontinued by the manufacturer and is no longer available. Read More...
Dr.R September 14, 2022 for Model Number KUDR0ITJBL0 We heard a loud clank and now our Kitchenaid dishwasher door will not stay open at an angle. It will latch shut however Do you think this is a spring problem or a door cable problem? It is a 20 year old model and still cleans dishes well! Thank you!
1 Answer Dr R, In most cases, this will be an issue with the door cables that break and would be part number 8194001. Read More...
Robert Scatko July 18, 2020 for Model Number KUDS01DLBL2 Hello, I need to replace the Dishwasher Door Cable 8194001on my KitchenAid dish washer. This part is available all over the internet from prices ranging from $6.00 to $45.00. With a wide range of reviews, a frequent complaint is the lenght of the code is shorter than the original. I have not removed my part yet, however, the cord appears to be at least 13" long. How does your offering compare, is it a original equipment replacement. Thanks for yoir assistance. Robert
1 Answer Robert, The door balance kit is OEM and the cord would be approximately 15" overall length. Read More...
Berto May 08, 2018 for Model Number W10082929A I need to replace the door links for my kenmore elite dishwasher and my question is: What part is compatible with the model: W10082929A THE OTHER NUMBER I SEE ON THE MANUAL IS: 665.1315 THANK YOU.
Casey D May 03, 2017 Is it recommended to replace both these cords at the same time even if only one has actually broken? I'm inclined to keep one in case there is another problem down the road but wasn't sure if both should be replaced together.
1 Answer Casey, While it is not necessary to replace both sides it would be good to replace both just in case the unbroken one has become weak. Read More...
David April 26, 2017 for Model Number KUDL01ILBS0 Out of the blue, I have trouble closing the dishwasher door. I see that the door is slightly askew (right side somewhat lower than the left) and that it is striking the top right side of the frame around the dishwasher. I could lift the the right side of the door and pushing it to the left slightly to close. What could be causing this? Spring, door balance link or hinges?
2 Answers Hello David, The door has most likely been lifted from the hinge pin. You will need to raise the door and see if you can hook it back onto the hinge pins. If not, you may need to pull the unit a few inches from its' installation so you can see the hinge assemblies to get it back into the correct configuration. If there is any damage to the unit you will be able to see what the problem is with the unit pulled out a few inches. Read More...

2 Answers David, Most likely a hinge problem. Someone may have bumped the door when it was open or lifted up on the door and dislodged the hinge from the hinge pin on the frame. Remove the lower kick plate and cover panel and you should be able to determine the problem almost immediately. If it's dislodged, you can usually carefully lift up on the door assembly and "slip" the slot in the hinge back onto the hinge pin on the frame. Read More...
Marti T December 11, 2016 for Model Number kudpolflss5 I replaced both of the new door ropes and pulleys, and it still is not holding the door up that well.
1 Answer Marti, It sounds like the springs for the door may be weak and causing this issue to occur. Also make sure that the springs are in the correct position on the base. Read More...
