DGBD2432KB1 Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

unscrewed old spray arm, installed new arm. Took less than 30 seconds.

The only difficultpart was to figure out how to remove the stainless cover from the door. Seems it slides upwards after screws are removed. After that it is self explainatory and goes back together in 5 minutes.

I unscrewed and removed the old Arm-Control fixture. I had a little (very little) trouble figuring out how to fit the gasket. It didn't go on like i thought it should. There was no gasket on the original fixture. So I put it on the way I thought it should go. I then screwed the new Arm-Control fixture on to the outlet. That was it. No tools required.

DO NOT BE TEMPTED TO REMOVE THE INNER DOOR SCREWS!!!!! I was and added about 10 minutes to a repair that should take less than 5. The lower door gasket just pulls out the bottom of the door. No tools required, just pull it out. The new one just pushes in, no click or anything, just make sure it bottoms into the groove.

Removing the old rack was accomplished by removing the grey retainer clips located at the end of the silver rack guides. This allows the entire upper rack to slide out of the guide tracks. Unless you purchased all of the additional parts associated with the rack you must remove the needed old parts such as the spray arm, plate guides, wheel assemblies, etc. to complete the replacement and reassembly. Each of these pieces are "snapped on" by clips that are removed with moderate difficulty. Mostly due to the apprehension that you are going to break them, however, with only the pressure exerted by your fingers they will snap off and will go actually go back on easier. The order you remove and replace the various parts is your choice. The exact positioning of the parts back on the new rack is critical, so if your memory is not good, take a quick photo with your cell phone for reference. The only tool I used was a small screwdriver to separate the clip when I first removed the rack, but in retrospect I could have removed it by hand. The key thing to remember is do not apply excess force when trying to remove the old parts, just direct pressure with your fingers. Good luck, it took me only about 15 minutes from start to finish. The best part is I probably saved $150.00 by doing it myself, figuring service time for a repairman, plus his mark-up on the parts.

FRIDGEADAIRE - GALAXY SERIES -Part arrived within 3 days of order BUT it was wrong part. All excited about getting the upper wash rack in full operation once again. Pilled shelf out to remove gasket to find it looked nothing like the one on there. The part I need is like a bellows of sorts that fits on the water line attached to the upper shelf. The part received goes on the back wall.
Now i am back at square one with part I don't need and hoping for the part I do need

Removed the clamp holding it to the floor and
removed the c-clips holding element underneath
and put new one in. Hard part was figuring out
what was holding the element but since I still
had the schematic drawing we figured it out.
Saved a bunch on a repairman. After watching
my friend install the new element I could probably
do it myself next time.

I had to remove the dishwasher from under the counter, flip it on it's side to gain access to the discharge hose attachment point, removeit, remove the other end of the hose from the sink-side and replace the hose. The sink-end of the hose has a 'collar' that must be cut to fit the fitting on the sink.

Unplugged dishwasher, removed the 2 wires clipped to the heating element, removed both cracked nuts, replaced with new nuts from PartSelect, clipped on wires, plugged in and did a test cycle. Based upon service quote from Best Buy, I saved myself $125.00 for just the call out, not including parts and labor.

Removed the bottom covering on dishwasher and then ran it to figure out where the leak was coming from. Noticed it was dripping off hose, but not actually leaking from hose.

Unplugged dishwasher and slid it out from cabinet area (be sure to turn off and disconnect water supply)

Followed delivery tube up side of dishwasher to top of tub and noticed reminents of where water ran down side of tub.

Loosened delivery tube by plastic nut inside of tube and removed. Noticed gasket was partially depleted.

Ordered new gasket, replaced and put everything back together. (Be sure to use teflon tape on water source fitting and tighten firmly). No leaks

Removed old spray arm, fitted new spray arm. VEry easy. Sorry I didn't do it months ago

remove vanity panel
disconnect copper supply line from valve
remove valve mounting screws
rotate valve to access hose clamp
loosen clamp and slide up rubber tubing about 2 inches
pull hose off barbed fitting and remove old valve
reverse order with new valve

Removed screws and put new bottom gasket in old one just fell out.

First I removed the bottom dish rack to gain access to the spray arm. I proceeded by pulling straight up on the bottom spray arm, it disconnected with gentle force. The replacement part was not identical, so I determined that it would work by inspecting hole patterns and heat shield configuration. Then I gently pushed the new spray arm onto the water supply tube making sure that the spray arm snapped into place. Due to extremely fast ground shipping (less than 20hrs from order to my door) the repair was done within 24 hrs! Boy...was my wife pleased!

took the door off after several failed attempts, which is easy to do - 2 scews. Then it was easier to find the channel the gasket fits into.

For all Frigidaire diswasher owners, after taking the door off, I realized it was the seal around the soap dispenser that was leaking, due to stripped screws, not the gasket. I rigged it with silicone caulk, but may have to replace that - looks easy, .
