PDW8680N00SS General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

Water was leaking from under refer next to installed under counter dishwasher. Once determined to be dishwasher not refer I removed dishwasher toe place was able to see dripping inlet solenoid valve. I had to disconnect 11V power, shut off inlet water, disconnect inlet water house and remove dishwasher from under counter. Once dishwasher was in center of kitchen I flipped it upside down and removed the electric solenoid inlet valve. Removing the valve took one wrench to remove inlet hose then two wrenches to remove 90 degree brass fitting and another to hold solenoid. I used a nut drive to remove two screws that released the solenoid from the dishwasher frame. I used teflon tape to reattached the 90 degree brass fitting and inlet hose.

After replacing the wheel and axle assembly once, I decided this time to instead just replace the axles with the new ones with improved design. Removed the wheels, pulled out the old axles and put the new ones in. Simple

Popped the wheels onto the wheel axle and let my 7 year old snap the completed assembly onto the lower rack. So easy, even a 7 year old could do it! Total cost of $28 to replace all 8 wheels, which had degraded over time. Lower rack now rolls in and out perfectly. The design for the replacement wheel axle is slightly different than the origional, so the suggested part is the right one, even though it looks a little different from what the dishwasher came with. I am now a happy girl and don't have to fight with my dishwasher any more!

Just pulled out the old basket and put in the new one. . Don't know the holes got into the basket. . .

Get parts axles and wheels snapped together well.

put new part on by looking at other side no directions with parts

I took the old one out and replaced it with the new one. It did take both hands as I had to open the dishwasher door while the other hand held the basket. :D

Twice I have ordered the wheels and axles from you, as more wheels broke at the axle holder. Now, all are replaced, and your upgrade to clip the axle to the wire rack on both sides was perfect. The wheels are thicker and stout too. Thanks for this and for quick, very quick, delivery.

At first I ordered just the wheels. When I received them I realized that I had to have the axles too. I ordered the axles and problem solved. To my surprise, they had changed the design of the axles and my problem may be solved forever.

Removed the old wheels and replaced new. Very easy to snap the new wheel on.

change out wheel axle and put axle and wheel on all bottom rake where needed....put axle on wheel before rake

Removed the door gasket and cleaned the track prior to installing the new gasket. The online repair instructions didn't mention a thin wire that is stored at the bottom of the tub near the door and is used to hold the ends of the gasket in place. Gently remove the ends of the gasket from the wire prior to pulling the entire gasket out of the machine track.

just followed the instructions on the film you provided and was a breeze. am so pleased with product and how it has been upgraded hope it holds together better than the older style wheel and axle..semms stonger. thank you for makeing repair so easy. gary iker

Ordered part online, arrived two days later. Removed and replaced dispenser with new unit. Easy job. Dishwasher works like new.

The wheels kept falling off the lower rack making it difficult to pull the rack out. Examining the issue, it appeared that the axles in particular were breaking. I ordered the new ones which had a different design from the originals, along with new wheels just to cover all bases. The wheels snap onto the axles and then you just snap the axles in place. The new axle design was both simpler and more stable. Took 10 minutes, cost about $30 for everything, and problem solved.
