FDB989GFC2 Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

took out the old racks, disassembled the top blade and put on new top rack and put new bottom rack in!
easy

Within 5min of running the dishwasher it kept leaking out of one side at the bottom of the door. I took out all the screws all to find out there was no need to do so. Although having it open I was able to find that the bottom door gasket looked dry rotted and was falling apart... after a little research online I was able to find that this is a common issue and I ordered the new part. The part arrived next day... all I had to do was slide it in where the old one was. It did the trick!!! No more leaks!

ordered new racks and replaced.. very easy way to order..prompt delivery. made my wife very happy..great xmas present..haha

I put the wrong bend in the door gasket first time. Be careful of the bend on the bottom right and left. Re did the gasket and all is well. The door latches more smoothly than before. The only problem I had was putting the panel back on. I have a new hip and squatting for a time becomes problematic. Would do it again!!!

i removed the inner door screws, removed the 2 screws that held the switch in, disconnected the 2 wires and then reversed the proceedure.

Turn the water off to the dishwasher. Loosen water supply connector w/ crescent or sized wrench. Remove bracket srews from water inlet. Remove spring clip from discharge hose, remove hose from discharge nipple. Replace with new part in reverse order.

pulled the old gaskets out, put the new ones in. Just like that. No tools, nothing. I would compare it in difficulty to the process of paying for gas at the pump and then filling your car up.

I removed the screws around the top part of the door (from the inside side); carefully lowered the front panel down; unscrewed the old part; swapped the wires; screwed in the new part; and re-assembled the door. That was literally it -- 10 minutes and it was in and functioning better than it ever had with the broken latch. And the design looks so much more solid on this one.

The gasket didn't need to be replaced but I figured I'd do it anyway. It's a little harder than it seems like it would be, and in fact I spent more time on this than the latch itself, but it eventually went in and works just fine as well.

I hesitated for a long time because of the price, wondering if it was the right part. It looks very different in the actual latch mechanism, but it works perfectly. I wish I'd done this ages ago ^_^;;

The 'kick plate' had to be removed, and the feet had to be raised to lift the unit over the floor. the old spring could not be found, and while lying on the floor my husband had to 'feel' for the attatchments to hook up the new spring. The unit was then pushed back and the legs dropped and the unit attatched to the counter. All fixed - - thank you PartSelect for having the right spring.

I ordered ithe spray arm late on Tuesday night and received it Thursday morning. Much faster than I expected. I pulled out the old one and slipped in the new one and it worked better than it did before. The new one was a slightly different shape but worked fine. I am very pleased with the service.

Probably took us longer to find the right circuit breaker (few were labelled), than to do the actual repair. Threw the breaker and removed the screws holding the front panel of dishwasher. The handle fell off in our hands. Attached the new handle/latch after removing the wire leads one by one from the old one and inserting the new wire leads.
Had to insert the gasket twice. At first we had leftover lengths at both ends, but next time we pushed the gasket in without stretching, especially around the corners. It really does fit.
Simple repair and probably saved $100 over having a repairman come out.

Shut off water, unpluggewd appliance, removed two screws holding part in place. Removed water supply hose from part to Washer, remover water supply from source to part. Reversed steps with new part. DONE! I'm not handy at all it was mostly luck diagnosing problem.

First I turned off the power to the dishwasher at the breaker box (after getting shocked once). Then I removed the 2 screws holding the handle latch unit on the door. I then removed the 4 wires in order and put them on the new unit in the same location on the new unit. Finally, I screwed the new door latch handle unit onto the door, replaced the front panel and turned the power back on at the breaker box. It worked immediately. Easiest appliance repair I have ever completed. Thanks for the easy instructions and direction!

merely snapped the part on

I followed the step by step instructions provided in the repair kit. during disassembly I cleaned the front of the dishwasher and cleaned the channel for the gasket supplied in the repair kit. Removed two screws for the latch, re-attached the wires and re-installed the screws and it was finished.
