HI John/Combo.... Yes, the lid does feel heavier than before. I suspect you are right about the lid cable. Trying to find someone that knows how to work on this thing has proven to be an ordeal at best in the past......not to mention that there is almost zero clearance between the unit /the wall / and the base....it is very very tight. | ||

Thanks Volvo and Roto....this is exactly the problem...I bet I will have to have the entire unit taken out of the sink area.....what poor design on this thing.....every time something goes wrong with this damn thing it costs a fortune....Thanks for the help on diagnosing the problem..I really appreciate it.

 Michael, If you wish, I can buy the same exact parts that I bought for my briva, and mail to you. You can make this repair yourself using my steps and photographs. Probably about $10 or less in parts. The Yoke is the most expensive part that I used. As you are probably finding out, Whirlpool/KitchenAid no longer has the replacement Lid Link available to purchase. I know - I called MANY part houses in my search. Mike | ||

KA BRIVA DISHWASHERS These were actually very well made but poorly promoted. They never really advertised them and the few customers that I tried to sell them to said that it looked odd to have this large flat SS item in thier beautiful granite [ yuck ] countertops. Michael I think once you get past a few problems that this will be a very long lived appliance. These were built here in Ohio but did use a lot of imported parts and its looks like they are still building and selling them elsewhere so hopefully parts can be found in the future. I thought they were a great idea for smaller kitchens or for an extra DW in larger kitchens. | ||
