Setup, Compatibility & Care
Compatibility:
This hinge spring is specifically designed to be a compatible replacement for Rangemaster RDW1260FI and Statesman BDW60/12 models. It is equivalent to OEM part numbers 37008664 and C37008664. Before purchasing, please verify your dishwasher's model number and check if it matches these specifications or requires an equivalent part number.
**Setup (Installation):
*Note: Installation typically requires basic mechanical skills and potentially disconnecting power to the dishwasher. If unsure, consult a qualified technician.*
- Safety First: Disconnect the dishwasher from the power supply.
- Access the Hinge: Depending on the model, you may need to open the dishwasher door fully and remove the kick panel at the bottom or detach exterior panels to access the hinge mechanism.
- Locate and Remove Old Spring: Identify the faulty hinge spring connected to the door hinge. Carefully unhook or unscrew it from its mounting points.
- Install New Spring: Attach the new 167mm orange hinge spring to the same mounting points, ensuring it is securely fastened.
- Test Door Mechanism: Gently operate the door to check for smooth, balanced movement. Re-attach any panels removed.
- Restore Power: Reconnect the dishwasher to the power supply.
Care:
This is a mechanical component. No specific cleaning is usually required. Ensure it remains free from obstruction by general dishwasher cleaning routines. Regular cleaning of the dishwasher interior and door seals is recommended to prevent debris buildup that could interfere with the door mechanism.
