GU980SCGB2 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

Keyed dishwasher model in YouTube. Followed troubleshooting and repair videos.

watched video, very good instructions ---removed old part as per instruction video, only needed screwdriver to remove and add new part, just notice how everything comes apart and replace new parts. Be sure to keep the middle arm mount which is not included in the kit. The new part is now a solid piece in which my old part was not, had rubber connecting which is what was worned out. Very easy to install, great instruction video, dishwasher works great now.

The repair really wasn't that difficult but I want to share my own experiences to figure out the repair. I'm a novice at DIY repair and I had to study the situation carefully for quite a while before I learned how to do the clip replacement. My first challenge was that the order sheet that came with the bags containing the clips said it was for the "lower rack." The clips I was replacing were on the upper rack so I was a bit put off at first. Also the broken clips were missing parts of the clip so I was initially challenged to determine if I had ordered the correct clip since I couldn't match the new clip with a broken one. My biggest challenge was that I couldn't figure out how the clip was attached to the two different tines on the upper rack. At first it seemed impossible for the clip to be installed getting the tines into the proper parts of the clip. The trick was that the plastic clip could be bent a little bit so I was able to force it into one of the tines and then bend it slightly so it would grip the other tine. Once I figured that out with the first clip, replacing the second clip was a snap.

Snapped new pieces on to racks.

removed the 2 water deflector and slipped the new ones in , in place.. very easy to do but it didn't seem to stop the leak so ordered the door gasket

I removed the lower and upper basket. Removed lower spray arm unit by removing threaded plug and replaced the wash arm bearing ring. Reinstalled spray arm and plug. Removed Phillips head screw on upper spray arm and replaced wash arm bearing ring and spray arm seal. Reinstalled spray arm and screw. Reinstalled upper and lower baskets. Made test run. Everything smooth and quiet. This is took longer to write than it did to perform the repair. Also made exceptional easy after watching the repair video on partselect.com. Purchase is always easy and delivery was fast. Ordered on Friday and delivered to my door on Saturday.

removed the nut, lifted the washer arm assembly installed new seal in upper and lower ports and screwed nut back in place with new seals. Washer works fine.

replaced pump outlet top and had to reorder plastic screw before able to fix. relative easy to replace after receiving both parts.

1. Turn off the electrical switch that powers the dishwasher. 2. Open the door of the dishwasher and find the two phillips head screws that secure the top of the dishwasher to the kitchen counter. 3. Remove the screws. 4. Gently move the machine side-by-side a bit while pulling it out onto the kitchen tile (be careful, the water-supply hose, electric cord, and dishwasher drain hose may not be long enough to allow you to pull it out very far - don't break or kink the hoses). 5. Remove (pull off) the black plastic fastener located on the bottom/rear of each side of the dishwasher. 6. Remove the old surround. 7. Lay the new wrap in place and secure with the two plastic fasteners. 8. Push back into place, secure the two screws, check your hoses.

replaced bearing ring & spray arm seal in dishwasher less than 15 mins. Repair was great i could not get parts in my hometown. Found this website you had parts i ordered parts came when you said they would . Great job, i will order again when needed. THANKS

I followed the instrutions on the video. Steve was a great help!

After watching the troubleshooting videos i decided it was the inlet water valve. ordered it and it arrived in two days with regular shipping had some trouble getting the water line loose from the valve as it had been cemented on. i finally over came that by just detaching the four screws that hold the plate to the valve and left the line intact turned it on and checked for leaks it now sounds quite now that its getting enough water and cleans like it did when new saved about 125.00 by doing it my self i might add the screen in the valve was stopped up with mineral build up no wonder it didnt work

Just unbolted the old parts and removed them. Assembled the new pieces, then snapped them into place. All new parts were of a different design, but fit perfectly.

Took old off and put the new on. Careful to be sure the hose end seats against the back port.

The kit came with all necessary parts. The spray arm is now one part with the tube that brings water into unit. There was a video online to show the steps. Not only was this an easy repair but now the dishwasher works like new! I am a very satisfied customer & have shared the experience with several people. The cost was very reasonable. Very satisfied & will use this site again.
