WDB954MBS0 Westinghouse Dishwasher - Instructions

I used a flat screw driver to push out the bottom gasket from it's seat on the lower left corner of the door. I pulled the remainder of the gasket out by hand. I aligned the new gasket and pushed and pressed into place with my fingers into the gasket's seat.

This was just a basket you slide in and out. No installation required. Price was right and quick deliverly.

All three pieces were a breeze to replace. For some reason, I envisioned sharp sheet-metal and bleeding fingers. But that was not the case. The bottom gasket simply slips out and back in. You have to pay attention to the alignment notch and the angel of the new gasket when installing it but that's it. The door gasket is a press fit; simply pull the old one out and press the new one in place, being careful NOT to stretch it lengthwise. The main spray device was released by raising two tabs (fingers only) and then pressing the new one into place. It really was a simple overall repair and, when I was done, there were no more leaks!

I believe that the only real problem was that the spray arm was broken and, as such, would spray water directly at the door joint. But, time is money and it was cheap enough t replace the gaskets. Note: this was in a rental.

Went online, searched my dishwasher name and model. Found "PartSelect" site, then typed in "Water Inlet" in the search area, (for specific part). My part, along with several awesome illustrations from all kinds of angles appeared like BAM!!! There it was, the very part which I held in my hand for comparison. Wow, was I thrilled! I ordered the part in just a couple of minutes, as I used my PayPal account. Shipping took 4 days. Regarding the repair, just kill the power to the dishwasher, remove the service panel (bottom), unscrew the two screws that secure the top of the dishwasher to the under side of the counter (anti-tip prevention) slide the dishwasher out from under the counter, loosen the nut to the valve and pull the service line (copper tube) out from the valve. Then unscrew the valve from the dishwasher chassis. Pop the wire from the valve and and secondary rubber hose, now the valve is free. Just install in reverse order.

After browsing the site and seeing that the problem could have been the thermostat, I uninstalled my dishwasher and found the burned lead like another poster had mentioned. It took roughly 15 minutes to uninstall the dishwasher, remove the bad thermostat, install the new thermostat, replaced the crimped lug and reinstall dishwasher.

I tried 2 parts: a tub gasket and a bottom gasket. Unfortunately neither worked and it looks like I'll be buying a new dishwasher. However, partselect's web site and install videos were awesome, and took all the unknowns/hesitation out of wanting to try to fix it myself. Thanks!!!

Pulled dishwasher from under counter, disconnect electric , wire to tight to pull all the way out where I needed it to be. Lay washer on it's front and replace pump, very easy to do! Hook up electric and push washer back in place, that's all. Thank you for quick delivery of part.

I had to disconnect the water supply line to allow the unit to slide out far enough to tilt back to get access to pump and motor after which I was able to replace it and reinstall

I took off the screws holding the front panel, took off 2 torx screws, remove the wires and just plug back the wires and reinstall the handle and front panel, real easy.

Removed the old seal, which was a little stuck because of residue buildup from hard water. I used a pair of needle-nose pliers to get a grip on the old seal, then slid my finger underneath to separate the rest of the seal. Once removed, cleaned up the area and slid in the new seal which slotted in quite easily.

I pulled out the dishwasher to expose how the strike was attached. Unscrewed the 2 screws and found the part on your site. The part number had been changed. I ordered a new part and tracked with your easy to track delivery info. It arrived in 3 days. I attached my new part with 2 screws, slid the diswasher back in place. I am a happy camper! Thank you, Julia

Simply pooled the old gasket out, and slide the new one in!

This was a simple repair. Although only the right side spring failed, I purchased and installed new springs and linkage for both sides being that the unit is about 10 years old. After removing the 2 screws in the kick-plate and the 2 screws holding the dishwasher in place, I pulled the dishwasher out and replaced the springs and linkage within 15 minutes. The total job took me about 25-30 minutes in total including cleanup.

Thanks to PartsSelect exploded drawings, it was easy to identify and order the part. Installing was a case of just snapping it on the rack.
