Level Legs; Door Balance System; Hinges; Door Springs And Cables - GE CDT865SxJ0 Series Technical Service Manual

Level Legs

There are four leveling legs located on the base rails
of the dishwasher.
To access the level legs, remove the toe kick and
insulation (some models). To raise the dishwasher,
turn the level legs counter clockwise.
Optional location for rear Level Leg
If a level leg will not keep the dishwasher level
because the support rail is stripped, the dishwasher
may be repaired by using two WR01X10044 nuts
and WD12X10417 leveling leg if needed. Rear level
legs have the optional location to repair.
Place one nut on the leg and install the new leg onto
the dishwasher damaged frame. Use the bottom
nut to level the dishwasher. When it is level, use the
the base rail or frame.

Hinges

(part of the Tub and Structure system and not a
replaceable part) and hinge arms. The hinge system
allows the door to be removed while the dishwasher
remains installed.
Information on door removal can be found under
the Door section later in this guide.

Door Springs and Cables

The spring is adjustable as it attaches to the rear of
the leg base assembly. There are two holes in the
leg and factory setting on a support screw. Higher
connection on the rear frame on the leg causes
more tension on the spring. The spring connects to a
cable which connects to the hinge arm using a roller
as a tensioner.
