TDB210RFS5 Tappan Dishwasher - Instructions

Turned power off dishwasher. Opened front door. Removed 6 phillips screws. Lifted cover to expose handle/switch assembly. Removed 2 torx screws. Exchanged power connectors from broken assembly to new assembly. Reversed dis-assembly sequence. Turned powered back on.

It's as easy as everyone said. Only problem I had was that since the seal is now used on several models, I had to trim about an eighth of an inch off the left side to keep it from hitting the door seal. No more leaks and saved probably $100.00 plus on a repair visit. The seal probably wore out because of using to much Cascade!

We had a leak around the bottom of the dishwasher door. After finding this site, I identified the part that I needed, the bottom gasket. I was ready to take all the screws out of the door to pull out the old gasket until I read the reviews and repair experiences here. Just have to grasp the old gasket with pliers to pull it out, straight down. I cleaned out the slot with a thin putty knife, just to make sure it didn't have any gunk left in it. Then simply slide the new gasket back in place. The only "trick" is to be careful lining up the slot on the right side, to make sure it seats all the way down. Like someone else already mentioned, there is no "click" to indicate it is all the way in, just a feeling of snugness. Closed it up and made a test run of the dishwasher, and, Voila! No more leak. A hell of a lot cheaper and faster than waiting for a repairman. Oh, I almost forgot to mention, I received my part within 24 hrs of ordering it too!

I just slide it on the piece at the bottom of the dishwasher. It was very easy to put on. I like partselect.com they shiped the item very fast.

Took cover off door, unbolted hinges from door assembly, rotated door assembly to access inside bottom of door...took out old splash guard and installed new one. Reverse order to reassmble unit. Tested...no leaks.

I am so glad you asked. lol I am on top of the world. I was about to
just buy a new one but being old, disabled and living off SS I had NO
money!! I dont do much on computer but just goggled. I found your
store and my answer was there. Your site is so good even I found what
I was needing. With your video I was able to do it myself. Oh by the
way I would have paid 65$ for them to look at it, and I assure you
they would not have let in cost me the 14$ I paid you for the part....
I LOVE YOU!!!! Now I need gaskets for my frig and chest freezer. Got
those video's?Llike my great grand kids say "YOU ROCK" lol

I started to disassemble the machine from the inside, and discovered that I should have started from the bottom...At least now I know how to get to all the parts...I had to remove a couple of parts to get to the problem. Because the replacement part was slightly different than the original, It took some rearranging to get the hoses and wires to connect(original was mounted at 45 degree angle, replacement at 90)

Ordered a new door seal and replaced, very easy to do but did not fix the leak. Before you order and replace your door seal check your spray arms. Our bottom arm was melted by the drying element and was allowing water to spray directly at the door causing the leak. Replaced bottom spray arm and leak is fixed.

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.

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

We ordered the latch part and were able to fix the dishwasher within minutes.

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
