EDW2020F01BB General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

My dishwasher started acting up with water in the bottom after running. Also noticed the dishes were not really clean. The dishwasher is about 8yrs old. After googling, 65% of the time the problem is the Piston & Nut assembly. Ordered the part at Parts Select along with the filter gasket asssembly since it was starting to fall apart and really needed to be replaced. Parts arrived super quick in two days regular shipping! On a scale of 1-10 (1 being easy - 10 being hard) this was about a 0-1. Removed the two screws on the plastic back screen where the Piston & Nut assembly is located inside. Unscrewed the piston & nut assembly by hand. After removal you could see it was pretty worn out! Re-installed the new part & put back the screen. That simple! The filter gasket was slightly more difficult because of removing the bottom spray arm which is hooked onto the water inlet tube with pinch tabs. You stick a screwdriver into the tab and gently move the tab outwards until the arm pops off with upward pulling. Remove the four screws on the filter gasket assembly in the bottom and replace. Dishwasher works and looks like new inside! Total cost $ 45.00 and fifteen minutes of EASY work! Basically...if you know which way to turn a screwdriver ...YOU CAN DO IT!

I popped out the stoppers at the end of the gliders. removed broken rollers and slid on new rollers.re-installed stoppers, tested all functions. tested good

Held panel in place and drilled holes and installed drill screws.

I looked on Part select at the model number of the dishwasher. I looked at the diagram of the diswassher and the hose. I read some of the repair stories. And became sure the upper hose was my problem and was armed with the ability now to fix my machine. Thanks PartSelect

Pop out the old baffles with the help of a screwdriver, push in the new parts in their places and done.

We watched the video describing the replacement process, cleaned the groove after removing the old gaskets, and installed the new gaskets as sown in the video. The installation passed the test washing a full load after the job.

Went on line to order new pump. Web site showed "parts which repaired this problem and nut and valve had very high % as the failed part". I then removed nut and valve and was able to see that it was worn as they described. This was a very easy repair and worked perfectly. It saved me from ordering a $60. 00 Pump which would not have fixed my problem. Thank you for a great help for the diys people.

We we're installing a used dishwasher,had to take it back out and replace the water inlet valve.

It was very easy to attach the wheel after viewing the video on the part I order from partselect.com. Thank you for the help!!

Dishwasher is 22 years old and I'm 80 years old so it took longer, about 3 hours. After removing, turned upside down and removed old pump-motor assembly and replaced with new following directions [which took a little while to figure out; my assembly was quite a bit different from the replacement pump-motor]. Pleasantly surprised at how quiet the dishwasher now runs. Normally I would replace this old an appliance, but this unit has provision for inserting a wood panel that blends with the cabinets and a new GE dishwasher with this feature costs $1300 MSRP. I'm trying to save money for when I get old so I decided to do the repair myself. For $150 it was a worthwhile investment.

Instead of purchasing a new dishwasher, I elected to replace the motor/pump assembly which the existing was noisy and leaking water. To start to took pictures of the existing assembly and marked the wiring connections. I read the instructions a few times until I fully understood and had the necessary parts identified. The only problem was the bracket that holds the solenoid has two holes for mounting the drain feedback bracket were not threaded. I was able to tap the holes (metric) and mount the bracket. Caution must taken not damage the solenoid coil.

Merely pushed the baffle into the slots in the lower right corner and the leak stopped.

Dishwasher had flooded. Removed Dishwasher from cabinet and diagnosed problem. Found "PartSelect" on Internet and found Part kit available at reasonable price, in stock to ship immediately. Part #PS260801 [WD26x10013] contained enough parts to make installation easy and also I was able to cure discovery of slit in drain hose that attached to dishwasher drain outlet because kit included a short piece of hose and a hose clamp that allowed hose that had been trimmed to connect to outlet.

By GE dishwasher badly leaked under load. I was about to shop for new dishwasher ($400 ?) when I had found your website. With likely reason identified, inexpensive parts readily available and video instructions being very clear, I had decided to try to fix my dishwasher myself. Parts arrived on schedule and I had replaced my old corner baffles in 1 minute with no tools at all. It fixed the problem with my dishwasher with minimal trouble for me for less than $30. Thank you.

Immediately shut off water supply to the washer. After ordering and receipt ot part: Removed base panel, turned off power, disconnected wire, water supply line and screws attaching washer to kitchen counter. Pulled the washer out and turned it on its side with the valve on top. Removed and replaced the valve, returned the washer to the upright position, pushed it back under the counter, reconnected all services, screws to counter and base panel, turned on the water and power. Took two hours since I needed take a trip to the hardware store to replace a right angle water fitting .
