Product review (1 stars): Double-action pulleys screached and squeaked in a KUDS01FLSS3 dsihwasher
I have a KUDS01FLSS3 dishwasher. Ive gone through several door balance kits and springs in the products 11 years of service. I generally replace parts in pairs. When one spring broke, I replaced both springs. When one cord broke, I replaced both cords. This time, a plastic tab broke that holds the pulley assembly to the dishwasher broke. I bought this kit not remembering I had leftover spare parts. The new plastic pulley system came with 2 rotating pulleys. The old system had one rotating pulley and one fixed pulley. I installed the new pulleys on both sides and vaselined the new cords. After it was all put back together, it screeched. Maybe the grease is not needed with two rotating pulleys. Hard to take off the grease once its been put on. I always used the vaseline on the cords to quiet the cords. I found the old style pulleys and installed them. The squeaky screeching went away. I also tired installing the double-action pulleys on the different tensioning holes. That didn't make a difference.
Ive seen 2 cord plastic-end connector types. One type is a straight plastic hook that attaches in-line with the cord. Thats what is pictured on Amazon. The other type attaches at an angle. The dishwasher came with the angled plastic attachment. That failed after a few years. No complaints against either design. Just noting the cord parts that arrived in the mail don't look like the cord parts in the picture. I didn't measure the lengths as some others have noted receiving shorter cords than the originals. I didn't have a problem with the lengths.
Bottom line, the parts fit and seemed to be high quality. For some reason I couldn't get them to install and operate quietly on my dishwasher.
