EDW4060G02SS General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

I have NO skills, none...so if I can do this anyone can. I can't even do a puzzle, so this is the background with which I began. The wheels had been updated with a bit of a different mechanism that holds them (the axle I guess) onto the lower rack. All the things snapped into place. I was stunned I could do it---was going to wait for my husband but decided to take a stab at it....and it was easy and I did it. Now the dishwasher works well becauise i can roll the tray in and out!

Removed the old axle locks and replaced with the new ones. They work fine. They had impoved the wheel lock over the original ones. Thanks for the good & quick service.

I opened the box, cut open the plastic air bag, and put the part where it belonged in about 5 seconds. Saved me gas, phone calls, service call, time, anyone can do this stuff! I am a female with memory problems, but I did it all with no help! Thanks for the on-line service! Sandra

It took no time at all to identify where the water was leaking from. I accessed a parts breakdown illustration of my dishwasher, identified the part, ordered it and three days later my leak was fixed. Hose and water inlet valve assembly was easy to swap out. I estimate I saved myself about $150.00 by doing it myself.

replaced the axles and the wheels

I ordered it online and g0t it the next day. I found out why so fast. The parts select store was 3 miles from my house and I paid $7. 50 To have it delivered by fedex. I opened the box and set it in the dishwasher. I hope this helps someone. It did me.

Removed old part and clip on the new wheel

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

Twisted new one in place of old. Disappointed that there was a melting issue at all. Need to investigate problem.

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!
