Part 12005775 Dishwasher Door Hinge Lever
Purpose
Provides pivot leverage and anchors the door tension spring system.
Details
The dishwasher door hinge lever (typically designated for the right side) is a critical mechanical pivot component mounted at the lower corner of the appliance door framework. Operating in tandem with the tension springs and door cables, this heavy-duty lever transfers and counterbalances the physical weight of the door panel as it opens and closes. This mechanism ensures the door drops smoothly without slamming and remains tightly sealed when closed. Over time, the metal lever can warp, fatigue, or snap under continuous tension or from someone accidentally leaning on an open door. A failing or bent hinge lever leads to noticeable door misalignment, scraping sounds during movement, and dangerous water leaks along the bottom tub corners.
Included Items
One individual replacement door hinge lever.
