I tried so many times over the past 1.5 yrs to fix my door spring. Bought springs but they didn't come with replacement plastic pieces (which are what really broke, idk if those springs can be broken 😅)... Watched your video a few days ago and bought the kit you recommended!! 🎉🎉🎉 THANK YOU!! 😊 I hope I used the right link so you get some type of credit!!
I wish I had seen this tutorial before I tried fixing my Bosch dishwasher door springs based on another tutorial I found online. Your instructions are better and your video is 10 x easier to follow along. Great job! You did, however, skip the part on how to get the dishwasher pulled out so you can replace the parts but I'll forgive you because you did a stellar job on the rest :)
Nice, thanks for the demo! It might have been good to walk through the removal of the dishwasher from the cabinet, since that's not 100% obvious where to find the mounting screws, but other videos can be found with that process. Appreciate you!
I found it much easier to thread the line on everything then grab the spring with pliers and pull the spring back to the slot. It slid right in with not much trouble at all. Thanks for the tutorial - saved me 450.00 quoted by Bosch to come and repair it! Yay!!!!
Your video was, for me, a message from the universe telling me to get off my Fanny and repair my Bosch dishwasher door. I’ve have the replacement springs so long that I’ve gotten used to “making do” with the broken spring! Thanks!!
Thanks so much!! We just fixed ours in about 20 minutes, most of which was carefully inspecting the bracing the installers used to put it in place! Works like a dream and we saved the other spring.
First you'll need to pull out the dishwasher. 1. To pull it out, look straight up above the dishwasher buttons and you'll find the screws where your Bosch dishwasher attaches to the countertop. Unscrew these and remember to reuse these holes when you reinstall it. 2. Now facing your dishwasher at the very bottom, you see the black kickplate of your dishwasher that's held in place with 2 screws... Unscrew these because it'll help the dishwasher slide out more easily. 3. Now there should be nothing preventing your dishwasher from sliding out. Remember that there is a drain pipe, water supply, and electrical plugin at the back, so pull the dishwasher STRAIGHT BACK, slowly and gently. Only pull it far enough out so that you can access the springs. NOW you can follow the advice in the video.
Good question. I should have covered that. In many cases, there will be enough slack in the lines to pull the dishwasher out without disconnecting anything. You might be able to see the slack in the lines under the sink adjacent to the dishwasher. If there is no slack, you probably need to disconnect.
Mine got bent really bad a few years ago when someone ran into the dishwasher while it was open. I actually had a tech fix (re-bend) the clips for free when he was doing some recall service on it. There might be a way bend them to make them more secure.
It's a little over a month since I replaced this and the other side broke. Needless to say I kept the second spring so it should be a quick, easy fix.
where
where can I find the link?⁸
hi Rick where can I find the link
@@joeletienne7797 It's in the description of this video.

This video was exactly what I needed. Ordered the part, followed the directions, and voila! Thanks for making such a thorough video!
You simplified the installation, very clear on the "how to" ordered the recommended kit. Thanks!

great idea

Mine was only broken a few days. I knew if I didn't fix it quickly my wife would want a new dishwasher (this is around 10 years old).
Thanks so much!! We just fixed ours in about 20 minutes, most of which was carefully inspecting the bracing the installers used to put it in place! Works like a dream and we saved the other spring.
Pleased to find this task as easy as the video described. Great guide video!
Exactly what I needed to get the job done.
Thanks for saving me time and money!
ALWAYS do both at the same time.
It's like changing one burned out headlight. If you only do one, the other WILL burn out at the worst time. 😁
Just a small hint.. use the plier on the spring and pull forward makes it a lot easier than pulling on the cord.
Great job ….. I’m tackling this project this minute!!
I appreciate that you show how the connections are made. The instructions that come with the part are totally inadequate for that.
Thanks Rick, the video And the needle nose pliers made it easy.
If one goes, the life of the remaking one is short so might as well replace both. Takes less time than pulling dishwasher out again. Thanks for video.

Mine replacement part came in 5 min ago. Trying to install it now.
Very helpful thank you!
Thanks for the video, did you have to unplug the water or drain hookups for this?
Good question. I should have covered that. In many cases, there will be enough slack in the lines to pull the dishwasher out without disconnecting anything. You might be able to see the slack in the lines under the sink adjacent to the dishwasher. If there is no slack, you probably need to disconnect.
the bigger issue I had was keeping the clamps a the top (to screw into cabinet) in place.
Mine got bent really bad a few years ago when someone ran into the dishwasher while it was open. I actually had a tech fix (re-bend) the clips for free when he was doing some recall service on it. There might be a way bend them to make them more secure.
duh thats why you always replace them as a set
