Product review (2 stars): HOW WE SILENCED THE SQUEAKY DOOR ON OUR KITCHENAID DISHWASHER
We have a 2006 KitchenAid dishwasher, model KUDS02SRSS0.  We ordered this link kit, which was supposed to be the replacement part.  After installing this new link kit, we had a terrible squeak/squeal every time we opened or closed the dishwasher door, which many of the reviewers here have experienced.  We tried many of the fixes suggested here, but nothing seemed to work, including increasing the length of the cord.  When all else failed, we put the OLD, ORIGINAL plastic wheel assemblies back on the dishwasher, and used the new cord that came with this part.  Hallelujah....it worked perfectly!  So, in the future, if the cord(s) breaks again, we're just replacing the cord(s)!
