The cable to my door broke and I need to replace it. Does anyone know exactly what it is or a source for a new one? Thank you!

If you read the manual they want you to use braided fishing line. Any other type of string will void the warranty. The point is that if the door gets stuck it won't burn out the motor trying to pull it up, and the braided fishing line is what they support to slip through your rubber washer in the event it gets stuck.

It does appear to be just like fishing line. I would get some high strength fishing line. Mine came undone when the door stuck after painting the frame. I had to cut open the wall to access the door. That was rough as I had just finished painting and putting up trim when this happened.

As others have suggested, strong fishing line would be good but might stretch a bit. Waxed/braided nylon is another option and might not stretch as much.

Like I said in my review, I ordered a third party replacement cable from Ebay the same day they arrived. I did not want to wait for them to fail, and they were too short anyway. I would just get the new cables immediately.

I don't know of any replacement. My suggestion: Take it to a local hardware store and ask for a replacement. They may be able to help.

Probably available from the manufacturer, but the way I look at it, if something breaks, buy another one. Its cheap enough, compared to others. The one I installed about a year and a half ago, still works perfectly.

Dear Tiffany,This was my leap of faith. I couldn't find a technical replacement for the cord from any specialty shop. It is a custom cord with a USB end on it. I looked at the back of my driveThe port looked like a little house with a white square in the center of it. The cord was inexpensive here. I bought it and the whole thing was a success. Korky

We just went to a big box hardware store and bought a piece of Lexan. Cut it with a chop saw, drill a few holes for the brackets and voila, a new door. I really don't know where you can find a replacement door though. Sorry.

You could try Radio Shack. They might have a male/female 2-3 foot cable that would work as a replaecment.

I assume the replacement you are talking about is the probe. As I mentioned in my review, it appears to be fragile--I've also had multiple failures. By handling it very carefully, especially at the joint where the probe joins the cable, I've kept mine going for several months now.

I bought a replacement at Radio Shack...just brought the old one in and found one with the same specs. They can help you find it, if needed. The only difference is the one they had was a white cord instead of black. But this didn't bother me as long as it still works!

The Smart Cat Box website: www.smartcatbox.com should have what you need. I have that item and I haven't had to replace anything yet, but that is where I would check. Hope this helps!

Shoot the supplier an email. Worst case scenario: just buy a new one locally.

I'm unclear as to what you mean by "replacement parts for the cable assembly." I'm assuming you're not referring to the cable itself, but to the devices through which the cable runs? Not to be flip, but have you tried either (a) the Total Gym website, or (b) inquiring on eBay? Or (c) depending on the parts you need to replace, perhaps there's a local sporting goods store or even a hardware store that can supply you with similar functioning parts. Not that it matters, but I sold my Total Gym 1500 almost 3 years ago because I hated it. But if you're enjoying exercising with yours, then I wish you the best in finding the parts you need.

I'm uncertain about a replacement. It might be less expensive to replace the entire unit. Although, if you go to the company website they may offer one.

David, As the previous answer stated; the spring you want for the right side facing outward is the 7682. If your door has two springs, you may want to consider replacing them as a matched pair. Wind them up equally for balanced lifting. You may want to replace your cables at the same time, they are inexpensive; and if you are handy can be easily replaced and adjusted. Be safe, and good luck.
