PLD2850RDC2 Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

The assembly connects to the threaded feed tube by simply screwing or unscrewing the notched "nut" at the top of the assembly. Removed the top and bottom baskets, reached into the tub and unscrewed the old assembly. Took 15 seconds. However, threading the new assembly on was a problem. The combination of the feed tube's flexibility and the new spray arm's wobbling made it difficult to correctly engage the threads. I finally used tape to loosely hold the spray arm to the top of the tub while I worked to engage the threads. That process did the trick.

Well I had to take the door apart as I could not get the gasket in the track without taking off front.

I unbolted the diswahser from the cabinet, slid it forward about 6", removed two small screws, switched the new part (better made than original-not a cast part)for the old and buttened evrything back up. Works like a charm.

unscrewed fitting and screwed new fitting and spray arm in place. It appears to be a poor design on this model.

unscrew old spray arm, serew new one on.

Wrap your pliers in some kind of padding so you don't damage the plastic. Spin the base ( not the spinner itself) which is left-threaded(normal). If the gasket doesn't fall out (mine did) pull it out gently. Clean the gasket socket with a rough cloth or scotch-brite pad and install the new one. Put it all back together and wash dishes, man.

I ordered a replacement Upper Spray arm from partselect.com. It arrived one business day after I ordered it. Simply unscrewed the old arm by hand and screwed the new one in also by hand. No tools needed. Very simple!

The video was a tremendous help, and the video included in the final email was a stroke of genious, in that when it came time to make the repair, a review of the repair came in handy, to say the least. We are very satisfied. . Ps. The leake is fixed

Replaced the water inlet valve by laying on the floor. Being it was at the front left, it was easy to get too. Being a plumber by trade I knew to turn the water off at the valve, and unplug the electrical connection. The new one went on the same way the old one came off, really simple. By the way, the call in order went really great and I got the new one in two days. Thanks again, Fred Lavergne

When the upper spray arm broke, I thought it might a a costly repair. Thanks to this website, I found other people with the same problem. I ordered the part (by looking at the dishwasher diagram). It came in abt 3 days. All I had to do was screw it into place. That was it! No tools! It was awesome. When my husband came home from work that day, I was able to tell him, I fixed the dishwasher! No more washing dishes by hand for me! Thank you so much for everyone's feedfback on this site & to Part Select for being here.

Removed lower front panel and kick panel. The part was accessible from there. No need to pull the dishwasher out from under the counter top.

Unscrewed dishwasher from cabnet. Removed nuts holding old strike in place. Put new strike in place and then reattached bolts to hold strike down. Followed by reattaching dishwasher to cabnet. Ready to use

replaced gasket easy-peesy

Pulled old gaskets out, I could not get the bottom seal in until I used a mirror to see the slot it fit into, then it went right in, Tub seal was a brainless install.

simply unscrewed the old one by hand, screwed the new one on - took about 30 seconds. There is a plastic gasket inside the part that broke - it holds the spray arm in place and allows it to spin - the gasket is what wore out. easy / cheap fix. Don't call a repairman.
