EDW4000G00WW General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

We tried cleaning the sprayer by unclogging the spray holes but it didn't last very long. I decided to see what it would cost to replace the piece. I have used this site before and love how easy it is to find the part you need. The sites have good pictures so you feel very good that you are ordering the correct part. They also have helpful suggestions for problem.. I ordered the part and it arrived two days later and we installed it right away...I started the dishwasher for a test run and forgot how loud it use to spray..The prices are also great just a service call from a repair man would of cost me triple what I got my new part.

Took pliers and removed old end caps, replaced rack/roller slides then put on new end caps. Was just that fast and easy. No problems. Doing it myself saved me a bundle of money. Thanks Partselect...just hope I won't need you for awhile. B. Williams

Followed easy instructions and completed repair in less than 30 minutes.

On the Model PDW9880, there are about 14 screws to be removed. I used a large Phillips driver and a pair of needle nose pliers. You cannot use a cordless drill driver for about 10 of the screws unless you have a long bit, as the 10 screws are so close to the body of the dishwasher door that the chuck of the drill will not clear. At the top of the door there are two screws on either side of the latch. The two screws are attached to white plastic blocks that serve as a lip to hold the outer door to the liner. It took a little wrestling with the two plastic blocks to slide them out from under the lip, releasing the outer door. Be sure not to let the outer door drop away, as it will tug on the ribbon cables that connect the display to the dishwasher. Keep a towel or sponge handy to keep the
dishwasher handle from resting on the tile floor. There were 4 electrical connections, including two ribbon cables, both of which just pulled out. I needed a needle nose pliers to remove the 2 spade connectors from the detergent dispenser solenoid, in order to pull on the connector, not tug on the wire. The entire repair is actually pretty straightforward and easy. It took 40 minutes, doing it slowly and carefully. But please don't tell anyone that it is easy, because my wife thinks it was an extremely complex repair, involving the risk of high voltage electricity.

The replacement part fits different makes and models, and does not have any brand identification, other than the Cascade logo cast into the front. Other than that, it appears to be identical to the original. Note: The
soap cup does not open for several minutes in the cycle, so don’t waste time or frustrate yourself (as I did) by checking the dispenser during the first 10 minutes of the cycle. Incidentally, although the company is in Canada, my part shipped from Central California (Fresno) and arrived in the Los Angeles area the next business day.

Took a flat screwdriver lifted up plastic inside door on left side near the hinge to allow the old seal to slide out.Took a pair of pliers and pulled the old seal out. Marked the old seal, on how it came out.Lifting the plastic inner door, slide the new seal into the grove, making sure its positioned like the old one that was removed.Slide it all the way accross the bottom of the door leaving the same space on each side. It looked a little short but after several washing no leaks.

Original axels that held the lower rack wheels wore out so that they did not stay attached to the rack. These new parts easily snapped in and hold great. Just pinch to pull out the old ones then snap on the new ones. These then snap onto the rack. Kept the old wheels, and just replaced the axels. Just like new now.

Took old one out, put new one in in less than 20 seconds!

the repair would have been much easier but the screws from the old inlet valve did not match the size of the holes on the new valve.

Checked the water supply to the inlet valve - OK, pulled the filler hose from the outlet side of the valve and checked flow in wash cycle. Results, less than 1/2 gallon. Checked your website, found 94% sucess rate by replacing the valve, so I ordered one. It took about 10 minutes to install with a nut driver, 6" adjustable to connect water supply, and plier to hold outlet clamp open to install it; now we look forward to dirty dishes rather than dumping water into the machine it takes care of itself and we once again get sparkly cups andglasses of the top rack. OU- Rah!!

The tub gasket was very easy to replace and took only five minutes. Just remove the old one and start installing the new one at the center of the tub. There is a white dot on the new gasket to indicate the center. Push the gasket into the channel and run it to the corners. Pull the gasket down to the bottom to make sure you have enough length to fit and insert the rest. The short bottom seal was another story. The internet suggests removing the door panel and I did this and could not access the old seal. I put everything back and started all over again. I removed the bottom basket and used a drop light inside the washer. Using a dental mirror I was able to see how the seal was installed. I then used an old screw diver to pry the old seal off. Installing the new one was not as difficult as removing the old one. I started pushing the new on one side and once it was started the rest popped on.

Pull washer out. Disconnect electric and water lines. Tip washer on side. Pump is attached by 2 screws and 2 push on electric leads. Replace, right washer and connect all lines. Quick test proved all was working.

I watched the video first. The parts arrived promptly and were easy to install. I just had to take the old wheel axle off each wheel and add the new one. Then snap each wheel into place on the dishwasher. These axles are an upgrade from the ones that came with the dishwasher. They attach much better.

Ordered part online, arrived two days later. Removed and replaced dispenser with new unit. Easy job. Dishwasher works like new.

I had replace 6 of the 8 rollers previously and the new style is a much stronger and attaches better and do not come off. Now my tray works like new.

Took seconds to pop the new stop in place.
