Frigidaire 154658601 Dishwasher Door Hinge Cable

Product Description

The FRIGIDAIRE 154658601 is a dishwasher door hinge cable designed to support the opening and closing mechanism of the dishwasher door. This part mounts on the door hinge assembly and runs in line with the cable path, working in conjunction with the door hinges, springs, and counterbalance mechanism to keep door movement steady and properly aligned. At 0.42 pounds and compact in size, it is a direct OEM-style replacement that restores proper door function when the original cable has broken, frayed, or lost tension. Installation is straightforward for appliance technicians and experienced DIYers alike.

This hinge cable is used in residential dishwashers across multiple brands manufactured under the Electrolux platform. Compatible brands include Crosley, Electrolux, Frigidaire, Gibson, Kelvinator, Kenmore, Tappan, and Westinghouse. It is a common service part for door counterbalance failures where the door drops too fast, fails to stay open at a set angle, or produces cable-related noise during operation. Technicians typically encounter this replacement during preventive maintenance calls or after a door-drop incident causes visible cable damage.

Installation Notes

Disconnect power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker before beginning any door hinge or cable service. This repair is typically performed by an appliance technician or a skilled DIYer familiar with dishwasher door disassembly. The door panel and inner door components may need to be partially removed to access the hinge cable path and pulley. Route the replacement cable according to the original cable path and confirm the door opens and closes smoothly with proper resistance before restoring power.
