154756401 Genuine Frigidaire Dishwasher Door Hinge Cable
The 154756401 is a Genuine OEM Frigidaire replacement dishwasher door hinge cable compatible with select Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, and Ikea dishwashers. The door hinge cable runs through a pulley system at the base of the dishwasher door and is responsible for balancing and controlling the weight of the door as it opens and closes. When a cable breaks or frays, the door drops down suddenly and heavily, opening with a loud bang — or may not hold itself up at all, straining the door hinges and latch with every use.
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications and directly replaces the older 154578801. It is sold as a single cable — most Frigidaire dishwashers have two door hinge cables (one on each side), and it is strongly recommended to replace both at the same time. Installs in under 30 minutes with basic hand tools.
Quick Answer
The 154756401 Genuine Frigidaire Dishwasher Door Hinge Cable fixes dishwashers where the door drops open too fast, bangs loudly when opened, doesn't stay open at a comfortable angle, or where a broken cable is visible at the door hinges. Sold individually — replace both cables at the same time. Compatible with Frigidaire, Electrolux, Kenmore, Crosley, and Ikea dishwashers. Replaces 154578801.
Common Problems This Part Fixes
- Dishwasher door drops suddenly and forcefully when opened — "slams" down instead of lowering gently
- Loud banging or crashing noise when opening the dishwasher door
- Door does not stay open at a horizontal position — drops all the way down
- Broken, frayed, or snapped door cable visible near the door hinge or base of the door
- Door hinge is being damaged or strained due to missing cable tension

Installation Notes
Frequently Asked Questions
What does the dishwasher door hinge cable do?
The door hinge cable is a tensioned metal cable that runs through a pulley and connects to the door spring system to balance the weight of the dishwasher door as it opens and closes. Without the cable, the full weight of the door would cause it to drop suddenly and forcefully when opened, slamming down onto the floor or straining the hinges with every use. The cable provides the controlled, counterbalanced movement that allows the door to lower gently and stay open at a horizontal position for easy loading and unloading.
How many door cables does my Frigidaire dishwasher have?
Most Frigidaire dishwashers use two door hinge cables — one on the left side and one on the right side of the door. This listing is for a single cable. When one cable breaks, the other is typically close behind since both cables have endured the same amount of use. It is strongly recommended to replace both cables at the same time while the door panel is already disassembled, saving you from repeating the repair shortly after.
What is the difference between 154756401 and 154578801?
These are the same door hinge cable. 154756401 is the current updated part number that superseded the older 154578801 during a production revision. If your dishwasher's parts diagram or old cable label shows 154578801, the 154756401 is the correct current replacement to order.
Is this compatible with Electrolux and Kenmore dishwashers?
Yes — Frigidaire and Electrolux are part of the same corporate family and share many components. The 154756401 cable is compatible with select Electrolux dishwashers and with Kenmore dishwashers built on the Frigidaire/Electrolux platform. Always verify your specific model number before ordering to confirm compatibility.
Is this a Genuine OEM or aftermarket part?
This is a Genuine OEM part manufactured by Frigidaire to factory specifications. It is the exact same door hinge cable installed in compatible Frigidaire, Electrolux, and related brand dishwashers from the factory — guaranteed fit, materials, and performance.
