BBBD2432KW0 Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

I took a shot and ordered this $12.00 part plus shipping. The part looks better then the old part and it was easy to replace but it did not fix the leak. I think its a bad design because there is a gap in the middle of gasket where water can flow thru into this channel and then it overflows. So for now we just put a pan underneath to catch overflow because the rest of the dishwasher still works great.

removed inner door panel, seal slid out easily, installed new one, and inner door panel, no more leak! parts came quickly.

Disconnect drain hose, disconnected power, laid dishwasher on its back. Had to remove wash motor, then had access to the drain pump. Removed bad drain pump, installed new drain pump, reinstalled wash motor, reconnected drain hose, then reconnected power. Job is done working as intended. Really easy.

I didnt do it my son did it was quite easy take the old arm off n put in t new one.

I was determined to find and replace the part myself. Much to my surprise, others had had the same problem! Thanks to the reviews on this website gave me the "courage" to do it myself!

The new part did not have enough instructions. The person who said "turn unit until it snaps" was the only way I could install it properly. I looked at the responses prior to installing the arm. If I didn't it would have fallen off again! Need better instalation instructions!

There was an excellent "how to" video on the internet which also pointed me to the part I needed. I did not even remove the dishwasher as recommended. I removed the lower kick plate, removed the power connector at the leaking input, removed the bad nut and installed the new nut.

Surprisingly the source of the leak was due to a hole which had melted in the lower spray arm. This led to a focused jet of water pushing through the bottom door gasket. The repair is basic once you have the spray arm. Just pull the old spray arm out, and put everything back together. Key is to turn the assembly counter clockwise until it engages to confirm it is locked in place.

NOTE: I am a complete amateur, and had NEVER attempted to work on my own appliances before this. Diagnosis via web search determined that the drain pump was the most likely problem. PartSelect.com had the best prices and, as it turned out, the fastest delivery. I shut off the power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker and turned off the water supply under the kitchen sink. I took all of the removable parts out of the dishwasher (lower rack, spray arm, strainer), and using a shop-vac, I emptied the water that had pooled at the bottom of the dishwasher. I removed the kickplate (2 screws) to disconnect the water line (pliers) and the drain hose clamp (flat screwdriver). Both of these had some water in them, so I used one of a few shop towels that I had handy to keep things dry. Opening the dishwasher gave me access to the screws that anchor the unit to the countertop, which I removed (phillips screwdriver). Loosening the adjustable feet and gently rocking the dishwasher dislodged it to the point where I could remove it, but not before laying cardboard down to protect the kitchen floor. Once removed, I flipped the unit over and disconnected the old drain pump's electrical leads, noting which one went where. Three star-shaped screws held the drain pump in place - one of which was difficult to get to, due to the size of my driver and the location of the main motor. I removed/replaced the pump, connected the electrical leads, flipped the dishwasher upright, and slid it back under the countertop. I re-extended the adjustable feet and made sure everything was level front-to-back and side-to-side before securing the two screws through the tabs into the countertop. Under the unit, I reconnected the water line, turned the supply back on, and checked for leaks. I reconnected the drain hose and then turned the power back on at the circuit breaker. I did a quick test run of the unit and not only did it drain properly, but there were no visible leaks. I will reinstall the kickplate in a week or so, after I can run a couple loads of dishes and ensure that there are no issues under the unit. With a small amount of web searching, some great help from the PartSelect crew, and a bit of fortitude, I saved hundreds of dollars and have a far better understanding of how my dishwasher works. That's a win-win in my book!!

I removed the 2 screws that hold the dishwasher in place. Slide out the unit just far enough to access the brass nuts on the heating element. Pulled off the wire, and replaced the broken nut with the new nut. Replaced the wire, slide the unit back into place and reattached the 2 under counter screws. Done!!!

Replaced bottom gasket, still leaks. This was not the problem. Will have to keep looking for source of water leak. Bottom gasket installed really easy. Just pulled the old one out and inserted the new. Just was not the source of leak.

As a property manager in a small town it has been difficult to find adequate appliance repairmen. Being able to order the parts online and allowing any of my handymen install is a hugh relief. This has been a great ordering experience

lift the arm out and install the new one, it didn't fit fight the first time, but with adjustment it sealed and sprayed water

I just pulled the old one out and installed the new.

Repaired with installation instructions from PARTS-SELECT. Worked perfect!
