It's the cord that links the door hinge to the balance spring, so the door lowers gently and stays where you leave it. The number sits in the 12976 dishwasher parts series, alongside the door springs and baskets for the same machines. No models are on file for this rope, so match the number on the old part or send us your model and we'll check it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDishwasher door falling open or slamming shut?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost dishwasher doors are balanced by springs on each side, connected to the hinge by a rope or cable. When a rope frays or snaps, the door loses its counterbalance. You'll notice the door drops heavily onto its stops, won't stay half open, or feels uneven from one side to the other. A broken rope can also leave the spring hanging loose under the tub. Replacing the ropes on both sides at once keeps the door balanced, as the second one has done the same work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePart details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine part number 12976000000399\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDoor rope linking hinge and door spring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12976 dishwasher parts series\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo models on file, match your old rope\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eChanging the door rope\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSwitch off at the wall and turn off the tap. Slide the dishwasher out of its cavity, which may mean removing the screws under the benchtop and the kickboard. The ropes and springs sit low on each side of the tub. Note how the old rope is routed and hooked before taking it off, then fit the new one the same way and check the door opens smoothly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eQuestions about this part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShould I replace both door ropes?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's a good idea. Both ropes do the same job and wear at a similar rate, so if one has snapped the other is likely frayed. Check how many your dishwasher uses and order to suit.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"ILVE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44551160922190,"sku":"12976000000399","price":35.09,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/partsshop.com.au\/products\/12976000000399-genuine-ilve-dishwasher-door-rope","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
