PLDB998AC1 Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

I bought dishracks and a new handle. the dishracks went in without a problem. The bottom one just slides in, the upper one requires removing a plastic latch and somehow getting the middle spout removed, which was difficult. The door handle was easy but required a visit to the hardware store because i didn't have a "torex" screwdriver. Other than that, it was a 15 minute job and it works well now.

Stem and spray arm tabs worn to the point where every time the washer was used the spray arm would pop off and end up on the bottom of the machine, a screwdriver and ten minutes time saved a ton of money and updated the machine.

Bottom dish rack is a direct replacement with no assembly required. Top rack has to have the old center cone removed and placed onto the new upper rack. The top rack comes with rail wheels in place. In order to reinstall the new upper rack you must take the rail stops off to allow the old top rack and wheels to be removed and then place the new top rack with wheels into the rail grooves. Make sure they are rolling correctly and then replace the rail blocks. Happy dishwashing!

Turn off water supply to dishwasher. Turn off electrical power to dishwasher. Remove lower front cover to expose underneath the unit. Locate the valve toward the left, front underneath the washer. unplug the wire harness from the valve. lay a towel under the valve to catch water that WILL come out. Using a pair of needle nose pliers, squeeze and slide back the hose clamp holding the hose to the water bottle. Remove the 2 screws that mount the valve bracket to the frame. There is plenty of slack in the braided water feed hose to pull the valve out from under the washer. Remove the hose from the fitting and then remove the fitting from the valve. Re-wrap the threads of the fitting with teflon tape and install into new valve. Attach and tighten the braided supply hose to the fitting. Install the valve in reverse order of removal. It takes about 10 minutes to do.

all I did was replace the arm , however I took advice from another PartSelect customer - I had to screw the arm into the floor of the dishwasher until it clicked!! Now, it will not tip over.
