Hello,
Try to determine the area where the squeak is coming from. Does it happen as you are opening the door. On many models it is caused by the rollers, and/or the springs that counter-balance the door. WD-40 does a lot of things, but long lasting lubrication is not one of them. Try a silicone or teflon grease in the roller bearing axle. Also try to put some kind of plastic sleeve over the hook of the spring as it attaches to the frame of the dishwasher. If it still squeaks after you've tried these suggestions, you may need to replace the spring tension rollers, they're not too expensive. Hope this helps.
you dont want to use oil you want
pick up some not stick spay like pam
just spray it into the part of hinge you can see
after a few open and close the sqeek should go away
Hello. Get a can of a penetrating lubricant called WD-40 with a tiny tube applicator included. Open the door and you will see part of each hinge where the door meets the appliance case. Spray the penetrating lube on the exposed part of the hinge and then open and close the door a few times. Repeat as necessary. J.
When you open your door you will see a flat bar that slides into the door while opening and closing. It is located between the two door hinges. There is a rubber on the door where the flat bar slides in and out, remove that rubber and you will see little rollers in the door, those rollers need to be oiled, preferably with engine oil. Oil the rollers and work the doors back and forth, the noise should abate.
I had the same problem and this worked like a charm: http://www.blog.applianceoutletservice.com/2008/12/frigidaire-dishwasher-door-squeaks.html
All you'll have to do is take off the kick plate, actually remove the cords, and lubricate with soap (lower tech than spray silicon, but it's worked so far...)
I had a similar problem and tried simlar fixes. Spraying the chain, the rollers, the track with silicon based lubricant did not good for my problem. My wife then listened carefully from where the squeak was coming. It was coming from the hinged in the actual door, the hinge like parts that allow the door to roll up. After we sprayed all of them, the sound just went back to the normal electrical / mechanical sound of the door opening and closing. I am sure our neighbors are happy too after 6 months of (very) early openings. Hope this helps.
