Genuine Vestel Dishwasher Door Hinge Rope Cable 275mm 47018037

Genuine Vestel Dishwasher Door Hinge Rope Cable 275mm 47018037

If your dishwasher door drops open with a thud, feels loose, or will not stay where you leave it, a snapped or stretched hinge rope is a very common cause. This genuine Vestel door hinge rope, part number 47018037, is the 275mm cable that links the door hinge to the counterbalance spring, so the door opens gently and stays balanced. It fits Vestel-built dishwashers sold under a range of brands, and is available singly or as a pair.

What This Part Does

Each side of the dishwasher door has a hinge connected to a spring by a short rope or cable. As the door opens, the rope pulls against the spring to take the weight of the door and let it lower smoothly. Over time the rope can fray, stretch or snap, often on one side first. The door then drops heavily or hangs unevenly. Fitting a new rope restores the door balance. Many people replace both sides together, which is why a pair is offered.

Common Fault Symptoms

• The dishwasher door drops open suddenly instead of lowering gently.
• The door hangs lower on one side or feels loose.
• You hear a snap or rattle from the side of the dishwasher when opening the door.
• The old rope is frayed, stretched or broken.

Repair Difficulty

Moderate: the side panels or plinth usually need to come off, or the dishwasher needs sliding out of its space, to reach the hinge and spring. The old rope is unhooked from the hinge and spring and the new one hooked in its place. Allow 30 to 60 minutes, especially for integrated models.

Typical Tools Required

• Screwdriver (cross-head or Torx, depending on model)
• Pliers, to help hook the spring
• Gloves, as metal edges can be sharp
