GSD5500G00BB General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

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.

Disconnected electric, water line, and removed dishwasher and placed on it's back to easily access the underneath where the secondary pump is. Removed old pump and replaced with new. Put dishwasher back under counter and hook up water and electric. Test run for function and leaks before final installation.

Removed broken axle. Replaced axle. Attached wheels

A loose neutral wire in the service box caused a short (possibly initiated by a power surge) tripping a GFI and powering down five outlets and the hardwired dishwasher supply. Checking voltage through various elements after removing the inside door panel revealed power up to the control board. Ordered and received the control board in a couple of days. Analysis of the problem took 1-2 hours but replacement took less than 10 minutes.

I replaced the corner baffles, the door gasket and the gasket insert. The baffles just pull out and the new ones drop in after cleaning the corners. The door gasket is more difficult as you have to remove the plastic door panel (7 screws) lay the panel on a flat surface, remove the old gasket and the insert and replace both making sure to center both gaskets. Overall a pretty easy fix. The baffles were probably the problem with the leak but I replaced al the gaskets due to the age of the dishwasher, about 10 years.

Wheels snap on and off. Snap off old and snapped on new wheels with my hands. No Problem.

Based on others' experiences, I ordered ALL FOUR parts. When I removed the corner tub baffles, I cleaned the seating area meticulously to assure a good seal. I removed the inner door panel to access the other gaskets. As soon as I opened the large door gasket package, I put it in very warm water to soak for 15 minutes to assure best flexibilty while installing. I removed the gasket insert from its groove, cleaned the groove and inserted the new part making sure it was oriented correctly. I removed the large door gasket about six inches at a time, cleaning the groove, and inserting the new gasket. DO NOT PULL ON THE NEW GASKET AS YOU PUSH IT IN THE GROOVE. YOU WILL HAVE EXCESS GASKET AND HAVE TO DO IT AGAIN ! Heeding this warning you will take less than the 45 minutes it took me to complete a successful repair. Reassemble the door and be a hero !!! THANK YOU "PARTS SELECT" , I have saved a ton of money this year on DIY repairs.

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

Removed old dishrack. Inserted new dishrack.

The Prep Work and putting the dishwasher back in place took up most of the time. The actual replacing the upper spray arm hose only took a couple minutes. The dishwasher was leaking. We pulled it out by removing the bottom front cover plates, unscrewing the top lip screws from the counter, loosening the 4 legs with a 1 inch wrench and carefully pulling the dishwasher out, placing cloths on the leg bottoms to avoid scratching the floor. Once out, we watched it run and could see water gushing out of the top hose. The hose was covered in a sticky glue all over the top. This was hard to remove, but we found scraping the glue off, then cleaning with fantastick and a brillo pad removed most of the glue quickly. We then saw the top hose has a lip that was GONE. The hose ends at the bottom of the dishwasher attached with a metal screw on clamp- very easy to remove. Once the top was glue free, we removed 2 hexagon screws with a tiny socket set, which releases the inside spray arm. The spray arm came right down and we rinsed it out- pieces of the old rubber from the hose came out. We ordered the new hose here from Part Select and received it in 3 DAYS!!! The new hose has a lip on top, which you gently push into the small top hole. When no more can be pushed through, you pull gently from the inside. Once the lip is inside, you seat it into the cleaned spray arm. Then screw the top 2 hexagon screws into the arm. Now attach the bottom hose with the clamp and screw. Go back to the top and squeeze on some clear RTV Silicone Adhesive onto the screws and hose where it goes into the hole. Also around the hose to hold it in place. Let it set up for 24 hours. It sets up as rubber. Test for leaks again. Now put the dishwasher back. Adjust the legs to fit- this takes time, and you are done! For an $8.00 part and some RTV silicone sealant for $5.00, you will get another 10 years out of your new spray arm hose! It's very do-able for anyone and so much cheaper than a new dishwasher! THANK YOU PART SELECT FOR SUCH WONDERFUL FAST SERVICE!!!!!

I ordered the piston and nut along with the filter as it looked to be the most probable cause. I installed them and it didn't fix the problem. I then ordered the drain pump and installed all three. The pump spun but didn't create enough pressure to drain. I cut a power wire and carefully hooked it up directly to the pump to confirm. With a new pump, strainer, and piston assembly it's like a brand new dishwasher. Comments on this site helped a ton... And shipping was VERY fast.

I removed the basket in the back of the dishwasher and unscrewed the plastic piece under the basket. I quickly screwed in the new one and now my dishwashe ris working perfectly.. We came so close to buying a new dishwasher and I am so happy I found the website describing this part. THANK YOU!!!

I ordered a new part and replaced the broken spray arm. No tools were needed. The part needs to be turned counter clockwise to come out. It may be tight but it does unscrew out.

Pretty much a no brainer, took longer to remove rollers from packaging than actual replacement.Most impressed with customer service and the speed of delivery.

It was easy, we just snapped off the old rollers and replaced with the new. Just like that.
