WDB745REB0 Westinghouse Dishwasher - Instructions

The main tub gasket just pulled out by hand - no tools needed. Installing new one was just as easy, Just remember the wide part of the gasket sits in the bottom of the groove and cut off the excess with scissors.
Door gasket - not so easy. The six screws near the top of the door do NOT need to be removed, only the two (phillips) mid-way down the side. Remove the bottom panel by pulling down (it sits in a pocket of the top panel). The bottom door gasket just pulls out and insert the new one by hand (can be tight). Re-install bottom panel by sliding up into the top panel pocket, aligning the holes and screw home.
Normally,, you would be done but not in my case. The slow drip was still there. Investigation revealed that under the bottom panel (yes, we took it off again) is a tie-wrap holding wires at the bottom of the door that collects condensed steam and allows it to drip outside of the bottom plastic tray onto the floor. We thought that the tie-wrap was unnessesary and cut it off. Test drive- No more drips!

*Shut off power to dishwasher at circuit breaker (hot water supply had already been shut off under sink since inlet valve was broken and was allowing water to run into washer nonstop)

*Removed front lower panel from dishwasher

*Removed valve assembly from dishwasher frame

*Disconnected wiring harness from valve

*Disconnected incoming water line from valve

*Disconnected outgoing flexible water line from valve

*Installed new valve in reverse order

It was a pretty easy installation other than the small work area under the dishwasher.

I used the screwdriver to remove the piece in the middle top ,it came off easily. Took out the bottom rack replaced them both in about 15-20 minutes.

All I needed was a screwdriver to remove and replace the parts. Everything else snapped into place.

Removed kick plate at lower front of unit. At lower left is water inlet valve. Measured voltage across inlet valve solenoid at start of cycle. Was getting 120V to solenoid, but solenoid not opening valve thus no water going into dishwasher. Ordered replacement inlet valve. To remove inlet valve, disconnect two wires from valve assembly, disconnect water supply tube and remove two screws from mounting bracket. Now you can remove water hose that goes to dishwasher. Reverse order for install of new valve assy.

Popped out the old spray arm and smapped in the new one. Works perfectly.

Bottom rack was simply lift up and replace with new rack.
Upper rack took a couple minutes to figure out how to take the roller brakes off and remove the nozzle. Once those were removed, it was easy to put them back on the new rack. The screwdriver was used to pry the nozzle holder off of the old rack.

Took off all the screws, replaced the dispenser-no problem. However, I couldn't get the top to stay in place long enough to get the screws back in. My boyfriend came over and couldn't get it together without using a longer screw in the top area. Now it works great.
The only other problem was my bank and my VISA-they both called me stating my account was being used out of the country. They issued a fraud alert at first, but I called them and told them everything was fine.

First I unplugged the diswasher, than I unscrewed 4 screws on the inside of the door which pops the door off, unplug two wires, note which one goes where, unscrew 6 screws that holds dispenser in place, than reverse order to install new part. Very easy.

First I read the online bog's such as this one, those instruction said it was an easy task to pull out the old gasket from either side and then push in the new gasket in reverse of removal, in from either side, but the only way the gasket can be installed is to lay it along the channel it is to be installed in and then push it upwards. Due to all they butter and grease that gather's on the edges at the bottom of the door it is nearly impossible to slide it in place, so to push it up is the only way that will work!

I simply opened the door all the way and used pliers to grab hold of the old bottom gasket and slid it out sideways. Then inserted the new bottom gasket into the slot and pushed it in. No leaks for the new pergo floor. Half the battle was realizing that this thing was in there to begin with. It is a long thin plastic flap with a rubber strip on both sides not reallya gasket per say. Fast delivery and great instruction from other customers.

Repair was easy, except had to run to Home Depot to buy a special screw driver to take the handle off. Once this was purchased the repair was fast and simple.

We read how others did the repair and my husband had no problem changing it.. . I have a daycare and he had it fixed in a few minute after the kids had lunch and had it in before I could get them all laid down for nap. . . he took off the front door, took ooff the pkug in to the dispenser and took it out, then put the new one in, and hooked up the plug in and put the front cover back on, and it works great!! My dishwasher hasn't worked this good in a long time. I am swo glad I fo9und this web site. Sharon-Indiana
