GSM1800JB General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

Removed broken assemby. Replaced with new part. Basket was an even swap.

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.

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.
