dishwasher in the cabinet and pulled forward about 6 inches to fully expose the springs. Replaced the two big springs, one on each side and adjusted for maximum pull of door. The second small springs were not necessary. Pushed unit back into the cabinet, connected the water line and tested for water leaks. Cleaned and replaced access panel and the door is light as a feather.

150 degrees for ten minutes provided enough flexibility to allow the belt to be rolled around the pulley. The machine has been used successfully since installation.

Removed the front covers on the bottom of the dish washer. I found it extremely difficult to stretch the belt over the second pulley so I soaked the belt in hot water for a few minutes to soften it. After I soaked the belt it stretched enough for me to work it into both pulleys. Don't forget to apply the grease (supplied with the belt) af

"The order arrived in relatively short order. However, the installation must have been hilarious to any observer.

ose) when fitting the belt to the rear of that pulley. 2. Use a hot pad (not an emroidered & quilted one reserved for company) to protect your L forearm from the frame member on the bottom of the machine. Getting up was worse than getting down, but it works! In dishwasher years it's much older than I am."
