Ge WD01X10217 Dishwasher Door Hinge Pulley OEM Part

At first it seems that the pulley can't be removed to make this repair. However,after removing the screw that holds the pulley in place, if you take a small screwdriver and tap the center of the pulley bracket with a hammer it comes out from behind and will go back in with hand pressure after repair.

Ordered 2 new cables (didn't want to do this again real soon). After watching the video, it was a relatively easy repair. The most difficult issue I had was pulling my dishwasher out as there was no flooring under the dishwasher so I couldn't pull it straight out as the surfaces weren't level.

I followed the guidance given by the repair video. It was very easy to complete the repair. The only problem was that the video did not suggest checking the cable pulley for wear and I had to place a second order because a new cable kept slipping out of the groove and the hook broke. The second order was shipped immediately but FedEx lost track of the package so instead of receiving the parts in 2 days like my first order, it took FedEx 7 days. The Pros were supportive during that fiasco.

Ordering repair parts from diagrams was super easy. Watched the installation videos, repair was as easy as it appeared. Price of parts was the best I could find, will look here first next time.

I heard the part pop and the spring release when I opened the door mid cycle. I did not pull the dishwasher out, but based on what I heard I ordered the parts I thought would work. The Hinge Arm Link cracked and the spring released. I decided to just replace that piece and not the whole cable assembly in case I ever needed that part. Because the parts were so low cost I don't mind having the extra parts. Repair took about 10 min. Getting the dishwasher back in the cabinetry was more effort, though! Saved me a $$$ repair call for sure.
