Took photos of parts removing just for re- install. Ordered parts from part select.com. Came in Two days. The dealer was on 12 days I gave up on them. I re ... Read more moved actuator two easy screws and pulled off electrical connection no tool needed. Then removed pump three longer screws Than other part. Make sure to label them in a ziplock baggie. Plus I removed hose clamp with pliers slide Back on hose and pull hose off. Then remove electrical connection on pump. If it makes you feel better label each with masking tape so I know where each connection goes. Then replace pump first with new one. Make sure you push it in hard then the screws. Don’t over tighten. Plastic parts break. Hook back up hose slide clamp back over fitting end with pliers. Hook up wire connector. Next hook up actuator. Two screws wire connector and your done. Put belt guard back on.

Now the fun part. Run a diagnostic and then calibration. See you tube videos it’s like 3 clicks to left then two to right with selector knob. Write down the exact amount of clicks and steps. It works. Be sure to turn knob 4 times to left to clear it like a combination lock. Don’t let the noises scare you it makes all

The only difficulty with installing the new lower dishrack was that the back tines came as 2 separate pieces with no instructions or clips. We ended up using white zip tipes to attach the pieces.

Ordered lower dishrack PS2099930 (FSP 99002572). My old rack had permanent tines in 3 quadrants & foldaway tines in right rear. New rack (which came w/wheels) had permanent tines only in front 2 quadrants, plus 2 loose long tine rows (later ID'd as PS2099527, Front Fold-Away Tine, and PS2099528, Rear Fold-Away Tine). Ordered PS2097246 (Re ... Read more ar Rack Bowl Tine Row) to replace my existing rusty tines, but "on order" really meant "not available anywhere." Watched installation video for PS2099037 (Fold Away Tine Clip) which clearly matches the loose tine rows that came with rack, but was problematic since my center spindle is permanently mounted on floor of cabinet, not on the rack. Fold-Away Tines could be cut off, but they would start rusting immediately. Ordered 4 PS343939 (Tine Row for upper dishrack) and 4 PS2099037 (FSP 99001436 Fold Away Tine Clip), hoping that these tine rows would clear the spindle. They work ok, but do graze the spindle slightly. Undecided whether I will tolerate the consequent floppiness of the tines, or permanently lock into place using nylon cable ties. Actual installation easy, with no extra tools, once I acquired parts that fit.
