PDW7880J10SS General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

Hard to push part through hole in wheel. used pliers to help.However replacement is better quality than original wheel atachment.

I was offered a free dishwasher for the taking. The soap dispenser latch was broken. I ordered the part, it arrived two days later by standard delivery. The door cover has to be opened and seperated. The difficulty is that the door will not stay down or up without assistance. Once open, the dispenser is replaced by removing 6 screws from within the door compartment (between the door front cover and inside door wall. Two electrical leads must be removed and reconected to the new part. Removing them is problematic, since one connecter partially chipped off using pliers to gain a grip. After inserting the new part the 6 screws are installed from behind the part and the leads reconnected. There are two ribbon connectors for the control panel and display. They did not come loose so I left them connected, which made it awkward to manipulate the various parts with the door split open. Putting the ribbons in proper place was easy if careful. Securing the outside and inside halves of the door completes the repair. I found instructions on google. This was tricky but easy, as the door parts were often trying to move out of an accessible position for working. Otherwise it was one of the easiest things I have done. It would be easier with two people, and I had only one good arem to work with due to shoulder surgery, but it was successful. The dishwasher works fine, and the price was right at $45.00 in parts plus shipping for a top of the line model.

Put axles on wheelsd and attached to the bottom dish drain. Received the new parts in a most spectacular time frame. Thank you.

Removed 8 screws from inside door cover. Opened the door and pulled off two wires from the detergent rinse dispenser with a pair of pliers and removed screws that held the dispenser in place. Removed the dispenser, placed new part in place and put screws back in and put wires back onto the dispenser. Closed cover and screwed back down. Easiest thing I've ever done.

Piece of cake! Very easy. Thanks for quick shipment. Appreciate it.

The repair was a piece of cake. I was most impressed with how quickly you were able to ship the product, felt like it arrived as I sent the order in. Thanks

The lower took 2s. There is nothing to do. The upper rack needed a bit more work as some parts needed to be removed from the old rack and be mounted on the new one. Overall, very easy to do

Put rack in place and snapped new one in.

Replaced pumped with new pump and now its not leaking and dishwasher is working great now.

Quick and easy...a 7 yr old could have done it.

We pulled off the remaining two wheels and noted how they were attached. Then we assembled the wheel/axle assemblies and clipped them on. We hardly used any tools at all -- mostly to rip open the plastic bags containing the parts. The entire repair was probably 20 minutes and the rack works great.

The original lower Wheel Stud/Axel was poorly designed and used a plastic material that could not stand the heat and lost its "springyness" so they had to be replaced. The new parts including the wheel stud/axel and new wheels (I replaced all 8!) were much better designed and of a nylon like material that should not wear out from heat. Intallation is easy but be warned. Be sure to snap the wheels onto the wheel stud/axel before you install the stud/axel. Once the stud/axel is installed you can't install the wheel because the stud/axel expands and it is difficult to remove. So put the wheels on the stud/axel first and then install the the whole wheel/stud/axel assembly at once. This is not obvious.

The problem started with my dishes slowly becoming less and less clean wash after wash. To diagnose the problem, I turned on the dishwasher and waited for the clean cycle to start. After it did I opened the door and peaked inside to see the top and bottom spray arms were moving but not the middle one. I took it out and stuck it under the faucet to make sure it wasn't clogged and everything seemed good. So after much deliberations, I decided that it must be the pump, so I replaced it. NOPE! That was costly. I then read something on the internet about how the middle arm has two jets on the bottom so I checked mine and sure enough, they were clogged. I tried to clean it but I could not get the junk out. So I decided to but the spray arm and the arm holder(because I damaged it)and now my dishwasher runs great.

I replaced the upper rack sliding components. It was pretty straightforward.
