WDF530PAYB0 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

Removed old and installed new gasket

Finding the model number was extremely difficult. Manufacturers who make it so hard to find should be shot! Without any instructions, it took some time to push the gasket into the u shaped flange that holds it. Certainly they could have devised a better system! My hope now is that it will stay and work for an extended time,

Replaced Door seal

Removed the old seal, which was torn in the lower R corner. Simply applied new seal.

Diagnosed the problem was a worn out door seal. Replaced the seal and the floor is now dry.I can also tell the door is a tighter fit now.

Old door seal simply pulls out of stainless steel "u" channel. The new seal is designed to slip into "u" channel. A very simple repair.

Very simple repair when you're supplied with the proper parts. Their delivery time is exceptional !

I took a screw driver and pushed it in the groove nice and tight. It worked out well but I would liked to have had some instructions. Then I cut the bottom excess off the seal.

I removed the old retainer clip, replaced it with the new one, and pushed the spray arm onto the new retainer clip. That's it!

Replaced heating element and high limit thermostat. Was suppose to fix the problem but did not. Replaced the control board and works now. All of these are easy to replace.

1. Pulled out the old gasket (very easy. slid right out).

2. Carefully noted how it went in (so I could put the new one in correctly)

3. Measured the length of the new gasket. Unnecessarily worried that the new gasket appeared to be 2" shorter than the old one.

4. Cleaned the track and the general area around the dishwasher that rarely gets clean. Took 15 minutes.

5. Inserted the new seal, making certain it was fully inserted all along the track. It was a perfect fit.

6. Patted myself on the back and bragged to my wife that the job was done.

7. Life is good.

I loooked up the main problems associated with that model which is provided on the website and ended up ordering a heating element and a thermostat. I replaced both parts it took me about 30 minutes. The dishwasher is working again and my wife is very happy. Thanks guys!!!

The fault code suggests a problem with the washer's ability to maintain water temp. This could be caused by a failure of the tempurature sensor module, safety over-temp thermostat, or the heating element. First, I disconnected AC power at the Mains panel. I then verified that the heating element was indeed at fault by removing the dishwasher and disconnecting the leads to the heating element in the rear of the unit. I set a multi-meter to resistance and measured the element and found that it was electrically open, thus proving it was the part needing replacement. I then tested the replacement element and verified it showed low resistance. (Good). I then loosened the plastic retaining nuts with an adjustable wrench, removed the old element and replaced it with the new. The nuts were then re-installed and torqued with enough force to create a leak-tight seal as verified by pouring a gallon of water in the washer. I reconnected the leads and slid the dishwasher back into place and secured it to the counter with screws. I then turned power back on at the AC Mains panel.

I put this unit in about 3 years ago and the brackets broke at the crease and the dishwasher fell forward. Found the right bracket and when it arrived looked a match. Checked link to video showing how to properly install the brackets. The original manufacturer never stated that the tab that goes through the frame is supposed to be bent 90 degrees to prevent the bracket from coming out. Thank you PartSelect for that video because I would probably end up ordering brackets again in a few years.

twist filler hose assembly to the side and slide hose in. place clamps on hose and attach to water supply and valve.
