D1454CFN LG Dishwasher - Instructions

Removed mounting screws from sides of disher. Removed broken piece of connector assy still attached to hinge. Attached new connector assy to hinge then looped it around pulley with spring attached to opposite end. Need both hands to pull spring up to side of tub and connect it. I would suggest replacing both connector assemblies while you have the dishwasher pulled out. Push dishwasher back in and mount with screws.

Replacing the spring and connector assembly (the cord had frayed and broken) was easy and took only a matter of minutes to do. Wrestling the dishwasher in and out of its space under the counter was very difficult. Because my kitchen is compact, I had to move the refrigerator first, then disconnect the Romex cable and water lines from the dishwasher before I could pull it fully from under the counter. The side panels have screws in the front and the back, so the appliance had to be moved out until its back was exposed. But I got the job done and the door works just like a new one now!

First do not watch the videos . They had you taking the insides all apart
when all you had to do is pull the unit out , twist the motor out and put the new one back in. Take nothing apart inside the dishwasher.

Pull the dishwasher out from underneath the countertop took 2 minutes unscrewed the panel on the side one minute put the connector on one minute screwed the panel back on 1 minute put the dishwasher back underneath the counter two minutes very easy job

Snapped the rollers on.

Took off the broken one and snap on the new one.

pulled dishwasher out of cabinet, removed side panel held by screws front and back, removed broken tension rope installed new rope, replaced side panel pushed dishwasher back into cabinet and fastened
to countertop, door works like new now, (the chief cook is happy as she can be)

My husband was able to slide the dishwasher out, and quickly replace the old connector assembly for the new ones. The old connector assembly had broken at the “rope”. Now the door opens slowly and is as good as new.

The repair took right at one hour. Repair length of time will depend on what all you have to disconnect to get your dish washer out so you can remove both side panels where you will be able to access the door springs, etc. There is a door spring on each side and I recommend replacing both connectors cords while you have the dishwasher out. Mine were both broken. One thing I noticed when doing my repair was that the bracket that is on the bottom of the door was not aligned properly to the small pulley that the connector cords travels under. If yours is out of alignment you will be able to tell once you get the connector cord installed. I used heavy pliers to bend the bracket slightly inward so the connector cords rides in the center of the pulley and not off to the outside as before. This may be why mine broke in the first place. After part replacement, reinstall the door panels and put the washer back in service. There are also YouTube's of this repair so you can see what you are getting into. Basic repair.

Replaced it . Simple

Removed two screws (one each side) and the toe kick plate at the bottom. Slide the dishwasher out from the cabinets about 10", remove broken cord clip from door and spring. Install door clip and wrap cord around pulley , attach to spring then attach spring to door, lifting the door will help attach the spring. Do one side of the door at a time.

Cables have broken about every 3-6 months after original ones broke after 8 years. Removed front kick plate screws and remove kick plate, and remove two top screws holding Dishwasher to counter-top. Pull dishwasher out about 10 inches. Remove all broken parts and replace cables. Side dishwasher back in place and reinstall removed screws. I just hope these Cables last longer than the ones I had bought from another source. I have replaced those Cables 5 times already and hope these last MUCH longer. Delivery was very fast from PartSelect.

Very easy just took out two screws that held the dishwasher to counter top.Then pulled dishwasher out just far enough that both door cables are exposed.The hardest part for me was getting the spring stretched enough to clip on.This was a easy installation for most people.

connector was broken. just attached new connector to spring on each side of door. easy fix.

snapped on new axel-wheel assembly
