LDF8874ST (00) LG Dishwasher - Instructions

Simple, removed screws securing machine in the cabinet, then pull the unit out of the cabinet space about 10 inches. Springs are accessible within this extension. You need strong hands to extend the springs and attach them. Once attached, push machine back in place and re-install the anchor screws. In my situation, only one spring was broken, so the attached side revealed the correct slot to place the hook on the top position, the bottom position has a plastic lead for the spring, and that lead is attached to a rope to the door hinge. Note: Replace BOTH springs, even if only one is broken.

We replaced the rusty with the new ones.

The inside gasket deteriorates over time - However replacement is easy. the main thing you have to remember is after you remove the old gasket, install the new one starting at the middle top of the tub and work your way down both sides. Also, don't push the gasket all the way in...only enough to hold in place. When you close the door the gasket will form a better seal around the door.

Ordered complete M030 Casing Assembly (RepairClinic Item # 4116143) after cleaning and testing rubber seal and pump assembly. Worked for two washes, then leak came back. To replace complete assembly, remove dishwasher from under sink, tip on back, disconnect all electrical and connectors to Case Assembly. Next, remove heater assemble (single nut) - this requires upward pulling to release the rubber washer and unit. Once removed unscrew the case assembly (four screws). That's it. Reverse the order to install.

Ordered the roller from Parts Select, slid the roller over the little spindle sticking out of the bottom rack and snapped it in place. Job done in less than one minute.

Pull the dishwasher out from underneath the countertop took 2 minutes unscrewed the panel on the side one minute put the connector on one minute screwed the panel back on 1 minute put the dishwasher back underneath the counter two minutes very easy job

Turn off the power at breaker box. Disconnect the power at dishwasher since I needed to pull the unit all the way out of the cabinet to get to screws on the back side for this model. Find and remove the screws to the cover. Remove cover. In my case, the rope on the connector assembly had snapped. I replaced spring and connector identically to functioning side. Did need a pair of pliers to provide enough tension on spring to install. Reconnected cover and power and moved back into the cabinet. Easy repair and my wife wondered why I hadn't done it sooner.

Snapped the rollers on.

Unscrew all screws on the inside of the dishwasher door. Carefully separate the front panel from the inside panel. Lift out the latch assembly, remove connectors from both sides using needle nose pliers. Reconnect to new assembly and situate back into place. Close front and inside panel, replace all screws, making sure the short and long screws go back to where they came from. Quick easy project to eliminate 2 trips from a repairman, 1 for the diagnosis and 1 to do the work!

My husband was able to slide the dishwasher out, and quickly replace the old connector assembly for the new ones. The old connector assembly had broken at the “rope”. Now the door opens slowly and is as good as new.

Took out old rack. Put in new rack. Done.

No other assembly required.

Had to call have an installer attach a metal strip across granite counter top and they did not have the top mount brackets so I had to order them and finish the install. The dishwasher was installed on the side mounts and they missed the cabinets

Loosened 3 screws and unhooked supply line and electric box and pulled it out.

Took off the broken one and snap on the new one.

The repair took right at one hour. Repair length of time will depend on what all you have to disconnect to get your dish washer out so you can remove both side panels where you will be able to access the door springs, etc. There is a door spring on each side and I recommend replacing both connectors cords while you have the dishwasher out. Mine were both broken. One thing I noticed when doing my repair was that the bracket that is on the bottom of the door was not aligned properly to the small pulley that the connector cords travels under. If yours is out of alignment you will be able to tell once you get the connector cord installed. I used heavy pliers to bend the bracket slightly inward so the connector cords rides in the center of the pulley and not off to the outside as before. This may be why mine broke in the first place. After part replacement, reinstall the door panels and put the washer back in service. There are also YouTube's of this repair so you can see what you are getting into. Basic repair.
