1032-005A Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

I pulled the old door gasket out, cleaned the guck out and pushed the new one in it's place.

used the pliers to grip the end of the spring, extended it and removed it from the door and frame. The install then followed. It takes longer to remove the front panel than to do the repair.

I removed the front panel below the door. There are 4 Hex screws, two at the top (accessible with the door open) and two at the bottom. After removing the screws, the panel came off, and I could reach inside to replace the springs. I found it easier to use a socket wrench than a screw driver.
Easily done. Anybody can do it. It took longer to clean up the panel than to do the actual repair.

The parts arrived 20 hours after ordering -great service & the parts were just like like the removed parts only new. The old door gasket was pulled from its groove & and the new gasket was installed witout using tools. No more leaking water.The door spring installation wesa bit more difficult. The front bottom was removed with a nut drive, the broken springs were fished out, new springs were pull onto the arms and the cover put back in place. Not a bad job for a crippled, one-eyed 82 year old man.

I ordered a new door gasket and door spring. I unscrewed the two screws that hold the dishwasher in place and pulled it out. I pulled the old broken spring off with pliers and installed the new one ,,,very easy. I then took the new door gasket and soaked it in hot water in the sink for 15 min. That made it very soft and pliable to work with. I used pliers to pull the old gasket out then cleaned the area around the old gasket where crud had built up. I pushed in the new gasket working from top to bottom one side at a time. Turned it on an ran through a cycle and it works perfect now ,,,no leaks.

Removed lower panel; unmounted fill valve assembly. Installed two springs. Remounted fill valve assembly and reinstaslled the lower panel. Door must be in a near closed position to gain access to the door "L" spring brackets.

Got the parts in a DAY! Wheels were broken and worn causing top tray to slip off runners- new wheels were easy to put in-used the screwsfrom the old ones and banged out the job in about 20 minutes, including letting my son help. Thanks Partselect, you've hooked a new DIY'er (my son)

Removed old gasket and clean surfaces on tub and door before installing new gasket. New gasket has a small notch in the middle for top center. Install top then down sides for best results. Door gasket snaps into existing groove so no tools are required.

Took out the old and installed the new and ran the dishwasher, no leak. Problem solved

I only had one break, but bought both to replace. I don't agree with those that say you have to slide the dishwasher out to repair. I simply removed the lower kick plate, and replace the springs in no time. Very easy as was ordering the parts. I will return here for all my appliance parts in the future. Hope I don't actually need any.

Pulled the old gasket ou, cleaned the groove with a cloth. Then pushed the new one in, starting at the bottom. The curvatures are clearly marked, no guesswork.

Simply remove the bottom panel below the door. The owners manual (22 year old model) showed the proper hole in which to attach the spring. Attach spring to door and then to frame of dishwasher, as illustrated in manual. It is a tight fit to get your hands in there, but once you do it is a snap. We have replace these springs several times over the life of this appliance, this is the first time we have actually found the proper springs, should last a long time. Thank you Parts Select for having the inventory for such an old model!
