Dishwasher leaked

  • Easy

Plumber had suggested trying a new gasket rather than replace the dishwasher. Ordered one and installed it. Cleaned door and installed gasket in about 30 minutes. So far it works great .... and ... cheaper than new dishwasher.

Replaced the door being careful toalign the handle before tightly securing all seven screws. Repair worked, no more leak.

poor dish washing
4 of 5 people found this instruction helpful.
  • THOMAS from LACONIA, NH
  • A Bit Difficult
  • More than 2 hours
  • Nutdriver, Pliers, Screw drivers, Socket set, Wrench (Adjustable), Wrench set
Read directions. They were poorly drawn. Set them aside. Opened up unit on December 26th. I made careful observation of the wiring, two hoses, one metal bracket, the hose two clamps, and then proceeded. Instructions said 1 to 2 hours, to complete. Ha Ha, perhaps if you've done it before. It was actually really closer to four hours. When done, it worked perfectly. The best part, my wife said: "This was the best Christmas present ever!" That made my day! Dishes are clean again, just like new! Thank you: www.PartsSelect.com.

The water inlet valve on the dishwasher leaked.
4 of 6 people found this instruction helpful.
  • John from Andover, MN
  • Really Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers, Wrench set
The repair was very easy and straight forward. I removed the electrical wires, removed the two hose's and then removed the old valve from the dishwasher frame. To install the new valve, I just did everything in reverse. No problem and I saved about $80 for the repairman to come out and I am sure I would have paid more for the valve if he provided it.

Thank you.

The wheels on the lower rack of our dishwasher kept falling off.
4 of 6 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Sharon from THE VILLAGES, FL
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
Removed the lower rack. Took off the old wheels. Put the axles on the new wheels which took a little manpower, but became easier once you did a couple (there are 8 wheels). Then snapped the new wheels on the rack which was really simple. The new design is much improved to the old one. The wheels glide better, then they ever did. We' re sorry we didn't think of this repair years ago and the cost was a fraction of the cost of a new dishwasher.

  • Antoinette from TOMS RIVER, NJ

  • Less than 15 mins
  • Nutdriver
Looked up possible causes on your website. Website stated that more than 50% of time the cause was the piston and nut assembly. Removed the piston and nut assembly in bottom of unit behind screen on rear wall and saw that the gasket seal was completely gone . Ordered the part. took less than 10 minutes to install. Tested the unit and it d rained completely. Thank you as i was looking at a more difficult repair if the pump had to be replaced.Repair cost less than $20.00.Before changing piston and nut assembly I cleaned the strainer and sump. disconnected drain hose and checked for blockage . i than checked your website that listed the piston assembly as the culprit more than 50% of the time. Thanks again
