The Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner is an OEM accessory designed specifically for Whirlpool brand dishwashers. This citrus-scented tablet removes residue, odor-causing soils, and food particles from the dishwasher tub and gasket area during the cleaning cycle. Symptoms of a buildup include unwanted odors emanating from the dishwasher, especially after opening the door. Over time, residue and grime accumulate in hard-to-reach areas and provide an environment for mold and mildew growth.

Regular cleaning helps prevent this by removing leftover soils before they harden or encourage bacterial activity. The Affresh tablet utilizes a unique blend of cleaning ingredients that target soils and biofilms through a combination of powerful scrubbing action and natural cleaning enzymes.

As the #1 recommended dishwasher cleaner brand, Affresh is also compatible for use in Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and select Kenmore dishwashers for consistent cleanliness and freshness. The package includes six tablets 4.2 ounces

This door hinge spring counterbalances the dishwasher door so it opens smoothly and stays where you set it. Replace a weakened or broken spring to restore proper door tension and prevent the door from dropping or slamming.

• Provides the tension that counterbalances the door through the hinge mechanism
• Helps the door open/close smoothly and remain at a desired angle
• If failed, symptoms include the door dropping quickly, feeling heavy, uneven side-to-side movement, or a loud snap when opening

• Disconnect power and turn off water supply before servicing
• Support the door and remove the toe-kick/access panel to reach the hinge area
• The spring is under tension—use gloves/eye protection and carefully relieve tension from the hinge hook
• Install the new spring in the same mounting holes/positions; check door balance (many techs replace springs in pairs for even tension)

The Door Hinge Cable Assembly is an OEM replacement part for LG dishwashers. It consists of cables and springs that connect the dishwasher door to the tub, allowing controlled door opening and closing movements. The cable assembly allows for smooth opening and closing of the dishwasher door while providing counterbalancing weight to offset the door weight. It has 2-inch by 3/4-inch plastic pieces and an 8-inch rope section.

Causes of hinge cable failure stem from repeated opening/closing actions gradually fatiguing the cable material combined with potential corrosion developing on springs over years of use cycles.

Symptoms of a damaged hinge cable assembly include:

• Difficulty opening or closing the dishwasher door smoothly
• Door drifting open or slamming shut without control
• Visible slack, fraying or kinking in cable sections
• Rattling or grinding noises during door movements

This genuine LG assembly is also compatible with select Sears/Kenmore dishwasher models as well.
