GSD5500G00BB General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

At first, I took some components apart to locate the problem. In doing so, I inadvertently damaged the Lower Spray Arm Assembly, while attempting to remove it. I then did an Internet search and came upon Partselect They had all the diagrams I needed, instructional videos, and the parts were the least expensive of other parts dealers. I was surprised at how fast the parts arrived. The repair went smoothly and successfully (Thanks to the instructional videos from Parts Select). Our dishwasher is working like new again. Parts Select made this repair easy and inexpensive for us. Thanks so much Parts Select!

Unscrew old stripped out one and put in new one ..wala!! Easy repair for this old lady...

Removed dish washer from cabinet area and snapped new clip into cable and hook into support.. The time that took the longest was to removed the screws to pull the unit out of the cabinet area.. Very easy fix...

Turned off power and water to dishwasher, removed kick plate to dishwasher, removed mounting bracket from frame rail of dishwasher, unplugged valve then used pliers to remove spring clamp on rubber line and used box wrench to remove water line attached to brass connection. There was a lot of calcium build up around screen and rubber O-ring and cleaning that may have fixed it but pulled off anyhow. One problem I had is that the old part would not come apart where the L-joint screwed into the collar that attaches to valve on old setup to allow new one to be bolted to it. So I looked at putting new valve on the old mounting bracket. That did not work after I got it apart as the new bracket is flat while the old is counter sunk...and the new valve has a larger footprint and would not fit flush to seal. So back to work bench and put valve in vise as the threads had plumbers pipe cement it looked like and they were tight. Got the two joints apart...cleaned with wire brush...sanded down mouth of brass collar that fits against O-Ring of new valve to make sure clean. Put teflon tape on all threads and tightened it all back up. Reconnected, plugged in, mounted to dishwasher and ran a full cycle with dishwasher pulled out so I could monitor any leakage from beginning. All is good...so slid back under sink and ran load with dishes...noticed water on floor. Freaked out...pulled it all out and valve was dry. I forgot to clean up the little bit of water that came out of lines when disconnected first time for repair... :) All is good now.

Pulled unit out. Detached drain lines and caught water in pans. Once drained unhooked the leads to the heating element. Pull lower spray assembly from base. *There are 2 tabs that must be carefully pried outwards slightly, at the same time in order to remove. Once the sprayer is out unscrew all brackets to heating element and remove. Then remove the Filter Gasket, large mat at bottom of unit. Access the drain at the back under the filter gasket and remove any drebris. Once clean install new filter gasket. At the very back you will see another filter screen. Remove the entire panel to access the piston and nut assembly. Simply unscrew the old one and install the new one. Replace cover. Reinstall heating element, lower spray assembly, and all brackets. Under unit reconnect the heat element power supply. Remount unit and run a test cycle. Hopefully this will take careof the issue for you.

very quickly

Removed the end caps by spreading the tab with a screwdriver and twisting a half turn to the inside. Remove rack. Remove old rollers and snap on new ones. Easiest repair I've ever made on anything.

While the delivery was swift, the new lower dishwasher rack wheels were narrower than the originals. The rack would fall into the lower area and not roll out easily on the channel. I removed the wide wheels from the old rack and exchanged on the new one. It took some brute hand strength but worked. Still not perfect, but better than rusted lower rack.

taking off the little front brackets, was a little difficult. I had to have my husband do it, but it was fine and it works great now,

Place the axle inside the wheel. Mount the wheel to the bottom of the dish rack and snap the axle to secure the wheel to the dish rack. Total project time less than 5 min. Video to replace wheel and axle was very helpful for those who are not mechanically inclined.

Researched problems on internet,based on info ordered part. Got it in 24 hrs.followed package directions. So easy and for less than a service call! Runs like a charm now.

Remove rail end pieces installed the clods on the side rails and basket put end pieces back in place. Ready for washing dishes

No repair; just replacement. Delivery was very fast.

No repairs needed, just replace the lower dishrack with 2 broken wheels with the new dishrack with the wheels already attached. Easy as A,BC or 1,2,3.

Followed the enclosed directions and the video helped a lot. My model needed a different motor mount bar than in the video but wasn't hard to figure out. From shutoff of the water, unplugging, and undoing the screws under the counter and pulling the old pump/motor and installing the new pump/motor and putting it all back took a leisurely 90 minutes. Be sure to hang onto the old plastic covers for the electric leads to reuse.
