This is the second time in 2years that this rope hinge on my LG dishwasher broke ,Why ?? and what can be done to make it last ..

The main control board is likely defective, the cost is about $200+ to repair. Is it fairly new?? If not replace it, stay away from touch controls (solid stat control panels), go as basic as possible, they last much longer.

Besides spring streaches out over time or one rope breaks. Their are like three spots to hook spring to get tension for door. I just replaces both ropes as one broke and hooked springs in middle hole. Takes more time to pull washer out then to replace the ropes

You will need to pull the dishwasher out about 12" to 18" to be able to get to the springs & rope links. Many dishwashers use a "rope link" to connect between the spring and the door hinge; and in others, the door springs connect directly to the door hinges. Once you pull the dishwasher out, you will easily see what broke and what you need to fixe it.

most of the units I have replaced the the hinge cord on ive had t o pull the dishwasher out almost all the way install the rope first im not sure on your peticular model if you have a double roller or not atm but you end up pulling the spring with your hand to meet the rope and yes it does sometimes pinch your skin inbetween

OK, this is a pretty simple fix, if you have 3 hands. What happened when the rope broke is that it allowed the recoil spring to unwind. You need to take the housing off again, put the rope back inside the housing. You then need to turn the big pulley that the rope wraps onto in the same direction as it would turn when you pull the rope. You probably need to turn it 6-8 times at least. Once you get this done, you need to hold the pulley secure and feed the rope thru the housing again, put the handle back on the rope. This last step is where the 3rd hand comes in very handy! This should get you back in business.

one of the nylon rope which connects the door hinge to the door spring is broken.usually with time the rope wears out and break.it is preety easy fix. u have to pull the unit about half way out and look for ropes on lhs and rhs bottom of the unit.buy the rope kit(it comes with 2 ropes and plastic roller unit.). just see the one which is not broken and accordingly install the broken one.usually u dont have to install the new rolers unless they are broken.

there are two nylon ropes that hook the door hinges to the door springs on the left and right side of the dishwasher.usually with time of rope breaks and the door stars to fall down.to fix this pull the unit out and look for the broken rope on both sides of unit at the botom.the new ropes comes in a kit and are abt $15.00.it contains two ropes and new wheel assly.u dont realyy have 2 chge wheels unless they are broken.but chg both ropes.to get rid of that squeeky noise aplly some bearing grease on the rollers over which the rope slides.that will take care of it.

if it is kitchenaid/whirlpool unit it has 2 nylon ropes that connect door hinges to the springs on either side of door hinges.these ropes slide over plastic wheels and with time it stars making noise.just cln those wheels and apply little bit of regular bearing grease on those plastic wheel.noise wil go away.to do this u have to pull the unit half way out to access those wheels on lhs and rhs lower front end corners of the unit.good luck.

They are at the sides and back 2 slots to the levers . Vitally

Pick up some nylon rope (same diameter or slightly larger) at any home store such as Home Depot, Lowes etc.. Need to attach the original plastic ends to your new nylon rope as well as to the door spring and then re-install on the bottom side of the door. Hopefully the other rope for the door assist is still intact so you can use that side as a guide as to how to route it around the pulley. Make sure that you lube the new rope up with some Vaseline etc. My door was squeaking very bad. Seems that the rope dries out over time which could have possibly caused your to snap. Pretty bad when your $1200 dishwasher door uses a length of small diameter rope to keep your door loaded with sensitive electronic boards from crashing to the floor!!!
