8535568 DISHWASHER DOOR LINK KIT REPAIR PART FOR WHIRLPOOL, AMANA, MAYTAG, KENMORE AND MORE

Broke after 2 days, January 24, 2012

When we moved into our house, the dishwasher door pulleys were already broken, so we dealt with opening a heavy door for a while, until we bought these online. The pieces were built a little differently, with a shorter rope, but fit fine and installed easily enough. I opened and closed the door with a loud screeching sound both directions. The door was supported, and the repair parts were doing their jobs, just very loudly. We used the dishwasher normally, hoping the part would ease up and the sound dissipate, but it didn’t have a chance to. The day after installing while opening the dishwasher, the head of one pulley broke (where the rope is fused into the plastic). No online ordering again. We instead called our local repairman, who got us the correct after market replacement – which had been redesigned. The head where the rope is fused is straight, not at an angle, and the rope was silent. Don’t buy this junk. Just call your local repair shop to get the part – you can still install yourself, but you’ll know you have a better part. (KitchenAid KUDPO2FR)

Dishwasher repair., August 15, 2011

Not hard to replace but had to make some adjustments as these were a bit different from my originals. That’s OK though because these seem to be an upgrade and better quality. It’s nice to not have the dishwasher door dropping on my foot!
