Docking Station with Flappers

unsnapped old docking station and snapped in new one. woks just like new. thanks partselect.
I'll be back.

This couldn't have been easier. After unsnapping the docking station from the dishwasher, I aligned the two flapper valves that come with the unit and pressed them into place. I then pushed the new unit into place by pushing first on the left side and then the right until it clicked into place.
I looked at the old one and found that one flapper was gone and the gaskets were deteriorated. What made the whole process easier was buying from PartSelect. I have bought from them before and will again.

The old docking station seals were getting very soft. To put a band aid on the wound until the new docking station got here I put a sleve on the washer bar feeder tube. This made an improvement. The docking station was removed using a screw driver to unsnap the station. Then all I had to do was snap the new one in. Be care ful not to pull on the piece the docking station is snapped on to. There are metal clips behind there that hold that water delivery tube on to the back of the dishwasher. Those clips are twisted on and can be striped off easily by pulling strait towards you. If that happens you must secure the clips using self tapping screws and a water proof sealent.

I removed the upper and lower trays. In the process I broke one of the rail stops. They snap in & out but if your not familiar with how they work it's easy to break one. After removing the trays the docking stations snap out with little effort. The flappers push into the openings on the docking station and then just snap the docking station into place. The door handle broke (cheap plastic) so I replaced the whole assembly. You'll need a #20 torx driver to remove the screws around the inside door panel. Lift the panel up just enough to remove the switch and handle assembly. With a small flat blade screwdriver pry off the electrical connectors. Open the circuit breaker to the dishwasher if you're not comfortable with working on live circuits. Remove and replace the switch assembly, replace the connectors, and replace the screws to the door panel. It's so easy

Removed dish racks, snapped out docking station and snapped in new station. Works great! Saved big bucks. Thanks.

the part we received has changed, and so it did not fit our dishwasher after all. i was able to remove one flapper from the part and put it on my old one, and now the water pressure is much better, and the dishes are actually getting cleaned.

We removed upper basket by snaping open and removing rollerslide caps. The docking station simply snapped into place. It only snapped in one way so we were certain it is installed correctly.
That part was missing from the factory and I feel a little angry that we had to buy it and install it ourselves. We would never have known why our dishwasher wasn't working like it should if we hadn't seen the inside of another one that belonged to a friend.
