GSD1807K00SS General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

Imagine my frustration when my wife told me that she couldn't open the dishwasher door!!! After finding the part on Parts Select, which was easy (even though my model was no longer being manufactured - it told me that the part was compatible), and then seeing the picture of the part, I knew that I could fix this very easily......or at least hoped. The parts arrived in just a few days after ordering (which was also very easy. I replaced the door latch assembly AND the heater switch in less that 20 minutes, carefully noting and labeling which connectors went to which terminals (big thanks to digital cameras)and replacing the control panel. Worked perfectly! Initially faced with the prospect of replacing a dishwasher at $600+, I now have a perfectly functioning appliance for around $25.00 cost and very little hassle. I also found that spare parts for other appliances are very reasonably priced and will definitely go to Parts Select again before I panic and buy a whole new unit. Very very pleased.

I just lifted out the old parts from the bottom of the dishwasher and replaced them with the new ones which seated securely with no problem. The extreme amount of calcium carbonate in the water in Barbados settles on anything that gets wet. We clean the parts in the dishwasher, tea kettle and any other device that gets hot water, about every six months but eventually the boiler scale clogs the works and, while I can boil the parts in vinegar to clean them, the new replacements are much better and more convenient.

We noticed spotting and just poor cleaning performance in the dw. It was particularly bad on the top rack. After removing the racks, it was clear that the gasket on the water fitting in the back of the dw-upper was about half gone. No tools were necessary. I just unscrewed the ring nut-gasket and replaced it with the new one. Finger-tight. If the old nut was stuck, a pair of pliers would have helped.

bought all parts to convert my white dishwasher to stainless steel model

First I shut off water and unplugged pwr cord from washer.I then removed hose from connecting duct and remove connecting duct from washer. I then installed new duct and reattached hose to connecting duct. After installation I reattached water hose then plugged back in pwr cord.

1. open dishwasher, 2. roll out bottom dish rack, 3. remove old silverware basket, 4 place new basket in same spot old basket was in, 5. roll bottom dish rack back into dishwasher, 6. close dishwasher door.

8 screws.4 to take off the faceplate on the d/w control panel and 4 to remove the faulty latch assembly. Reverse to put it back on.Works like a charm. However, this is the 2nd replacement of this part in about 2 years. I think moisture gets into the assembly and shorts the switch.
