This broke on my dishwasher, how to fix?

I would try a parts supplier, like this: https://www.appliancepartspros.com/dishwasher-parts.html
I would post your question on this forum.
They don't make them like they used to. That thin rope is not very impressive.
Seems like an optimized design from a manufacturers perspective. It let's them sell more service parts and doesn't impact their cost. Probably not a popular opinion but accurate of many manufacturers non-the-less.Lasts just long enough to get through the warranty period.
Just my $0.02
I'd say they probably improve thier costs, by supplying parts with a reduced life expectancy.
Wonder if the electric is rubbing against the rope it comes in right behind it.
But much better that the snubbers used by Kenmore on m dishwasher door. Average life is about a year, then they self destruct.
I have a Whirlpool that had one snubber fail after several years. The door receives heavy usage because I'm one of the OCD types, that's constantly rearranging the contents to maximize spray arm coverage. It has been a good machine at $499, it does an average of 150 loads per year, without any problems.
One of the easiest repairs, with the simplest of designs. Our Kenmore has had them replaced by me, and at 20 years old is still doing a good job.
