ZBD6800K00WW General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

Had purchased SPRING DOOR, CABLE ASM, and HINGE CABLE PULLEY prior to starting repair, as I did not know which piece had failed. Cable assembly was the culprit. SPRING is heavy duty steel, HINGE CABLE PULLEY is nylon, and CABLE ASM (assembly) is braided steel with a steel plate at one end that ties into spring and an inadequate nylon piece that ties into the steel hook on the door. The nylon piece failed through tearing open. REPAIR STEPS: 1. Removed bottom cover plate at front. Two hex head nuts. Nut driver works best but Phillips head screw slots are on nuts. 2. Removed dime-sized cover plates located on either side of main unit where door seals when it is closed. Used Phillips head screwdriver to remove screws that are screwed into cabinets flanking dishwasher. Magnetic tip will help keep you from losing these between dishwasher and cabinet as they are too short to project through the access hole when fully unscrewed. 3. Lowered appliance feet using adjustable pliers. Slip wrench would probably work but six-sided appliance feet are slippery. 4. Loosened drain hose clamp from disposal and removed drain hose. 5. Shut off water line to dishwasher (under sink) and disconnected water line with slip wrench. Steps 4 and 5 were done to give me the slack I needed to pull dishwasher out from cavity far enough to access the side where the repairs were to be made. You may or may not need to do that--try pulling dishwasher out first and see how far it will go. 6. Looked at the problem, which was failed cable assembly. 7. Removed nylon Hinge Cable Pullley with nut driver. This allows cable removal. 8. Put cable back into place (loose) and then replaced Hinge Cable Pulley. 9. Reattached cable to spring on back end and door hook on front end. 10. Pushed dishwasher back into position. 11. Raised appliance feet to proper height. 12. Reinstalled side screws that hold dishwasher against cabinetry. 13. Replaced small screw cover plates. 14. Reattached drain line to disposal. 15. Reattached water line. 16. Turned water on and checked for leaks. 17. Reattached bottom cover plate to front of dishwasher.

It took more time to open the package than to actually effect the repair. I snapped the wheel on the axle, then snapped it in place on the front side of the dishwasher. It took less than 5 minutes to end the aggravation that had lasted months!

Bought the small piece to fit inside each wheel and replaced them. Now working and sliding perfectly

I took the old one out and replaced it with the new one. It did take both hands as I had to open the dishwasher door while the other hand held the basket. :D

Twice I have ordered the wheels and axles from you, as more wheels broke at the axle holder. Now, all are replaced, and your upgrade to clip the axle to the wire rack on both sides was perfect. The wheels are thicker and stout too. Thanks for this and for quick, very quick, delivery.

At first I ordered just the wheels. When I received them I realized that I had to have the axles too. I ordered the axles and problem solved. To my surprise, they had changed the design of the axles and my problem may be solved forever.

Removed the old wheels and replaced new. Very easy to snap the new wheel on.

change out wheel axle and put axle and wheel on all bottom rake where needed....put axle on wheel before rake

Pull washer out. Disconnect electric and water lines. Tip washer on side. Pump is attached by 2 screws and 2 push on electric leads. Replace, right washer and connect all lines. Quick test proved all was working.

Removed the door gasket and cleaned the track prior to installing the new gasket. The online repair instructions didn't mention a thin wire that is stored at the bottom of the tub near the door and is used to hold the ends of the gasket in place. Gently remove the ends of the gasket from the wire prior to pulling the entire gasket out of the machine track.

just followed the instructions on the film you provided and was a breeze. am so pleased with product and how it has been upgraded hope it holds together better than the older style wheel and axle..semms stonger. thank you for makeing repair so easy. gary iker

Simply Removed the parts...very easy to do. Replaced the parts...very easy to do. Done.

Ordered part online, arrived two days later. Removed and replaced dispenser with new unit. Easy job. Dishwasher works like new.

The wheels kept falling off the lower rack making it difficult to pull the rack out. Examining the issue, it appeared that the axles in particular were breaking. I ordered the new ones which had a different design from the originals, along with new wheels just to cover all bases. The wheels snap onto the axles and then you just snap the axles in place. The new axle design was both simpler and more stable. Took 10 minutes, cost about $30 for everything, and problem solved.

Unclipped the wheel axles and wheels and clipped the new ones on. "Easy as pie"
