TDB210RFB2 Tappan Dishwasher - Instructions

First I pulled out the old gasket, used this to measure for the new gasket, cut to right length, pushed new gasket into the track and washed a load of dishes. No leaks! This took about 2 minutes to complete.

Two rollers on the lower rack were missing and one was flattened. I popped off the bad roller and snapped the three new rollers in place, all by hand. Took about 60 seconds.

I snapped on the new roller and bingo! problem solved.

Found rack fairly easily on this site. Ordered reluctantly because I wasn't sure I ordered the right part or if I could install it.
Received item really quickly. It was correct and easy to install.
I'm not a great home "repair guy", but this worked out very well. I would order from them again in a second.

I pulled out the dishwasher removed the two heating element insulated wires and removed both threaded brass nuts and replaced them both. Problem solved. Luckily I have a local parts and repair store with a repairman that knows every part of every appliance ever made (no kidding, I have yet to stump him with a part or question). He did not have the parts, told me to go to partselect.com order two nuts, replace them both at the same time, and fix it myself because its an easy repair and not worth paying hundreds of dollars, if you can use a wrench. He was right, and partselect.com had the right parts, at the right price, easy to find and order, and I can impress the wife with my repair skills. Thanks again!

We pulled the dishwasher out enough th expose the sides where the springs are attached. We removed the oldsprings and attached the new ones. Then put the dishwasher back in place.

Removed the screws holding the dishwasher in the counterspace. Pulled it out far enough to re-attach the new spring, scoot it back in place, and put the screws back to hold it in, and attach the plate to the bottom that was taken out first. Good to go.

Biggest challenge was understanding where the gasket was located. I took a good look at the parts diagram available on this site, simply opened the dishwasher door, felt around for the old jacket, pulled it out with a nose plier, and inserted the new jacket making sure the orientation was the same as the old jacket. It went in fairly easily, and is a press fit. The dishwasher no longer leaks.

Should have paid attention to the other posts. The job should have been REALLY easy. But, I decided to take the door off. That was not necessary. Turned a three minute job into a 30 minute job.

So easy it shouldn't even count as a repair, really. The dishwasher, there when I bought the place, had a lower rack that wouldn't roll out as it should. That's because there were no wheels on the left side.

The rack lifts out easily. These wheels snap on to small protrusions from the wire rack.

Snapped new wheels into place on the axel. New wheels were exactly like the old ones

Took off 2 screws and took the old detergent holder off and put the new one on....Very easy...took all of 5 mins

Snapped the new one in. One second repair - like new.

Never worked on a dishwasher before but quickly learned that on this particular one, it's only this thin little brass nut that tightens down the element from the underside of the washer. If not tight enough, water drips right down onto the electrical connections. In this case water began to drip and the heat from the electrical current began melting a clear rubber shield thing. Luckily I was home during the cycle and figured out the problem. Great website that seems to have all necessary parts for my washer. Quick shipment!

Removed standing water with wet vac. removed kick plate and screws attaching top to underside of counter. pulled unit out and layed it on it's front to gain easy access. unscrewed unit and removed hose clamps with pliers. installed new unit and reveresed order to put all back together. did not appear to want to work at first on full cycle mode. Ran Rinse and Hold cycle and it engauged drain pump first clearing out rest of water then, ran fine. all is working well now.
