3. Unscrew the screws that secure the dishwasher to the counter.
4. Tip dishwasher forward. Identify the non-functioning door latch. It looks exactly like the replacement. Unclip the wire harness from the door latch.

1. Pull out dishwasher (not all the way) 2. Open the door. 3. Remove the white rope holding the door hinge (both sides) 4. Remove the door by pulling up when the door is open about 4-8 inches. 5. Lay the door on the floor ( put something under the door so not to scratch the front. 6. Remove the small bolt at the bottom of the door (both sides). 7. Slide the hinge back, up, then out. 8. Where the hinges were are another set of bolts, remove those (both sides) 9. Grab the top part of the door (the part with the buttons) and slide apart. 10. Remove the styrofoam carefully. 11. Disconnect the wiring harness. 12. Remove the 6 screws holding the Despenser tray in place. 13. Put in new Despenser tray and put everything back together.

Decided it could be 1 of 3 things. Fuse on main circuit board that controls hot water. Main control board or drain pump failure. Was not able to find out how to do diagnostics on this unit as there is no "cycle control" feature and this is a top of the line unit. Replaced the fuse and dishwasher failed. Replaced the circuit board and dishwasher failed the first time. Second time it went to completion and has worked properly since. You can go on line and find videos on removing the circuit board for GE dishwashers. This can be done without pulling the dishwasher out. Remove the lower black dust panel and insulation. Remove cover to electrical box - 1 screw and remove. Remove 2 to 4 screw on a sheet metal bracket that holds the circuit board. Notice where 2 metal hangers are located if you remove 4 screws on the left and right side of machine as they drop out. Remove black corded door sensor under circuit board. Work the sheet metal back and forth to remove from dish washer so that circuit board is exposed. Remove circuit board connectors and pull out unit to install new circuit board. Some have one screw and some have only plastic retainers. Re-install. I did not need the drain pump and the circuit board comes with a control board fuse. Washer was only 14 months old and 2 months out of warranty.

Replaced transition piece, gasket, and vent cover. The root cause problem is that the factory installed gasket was too thick and would not allow sufficient thread engagement. The replacement gasket was about 25% thinner and worked perfectly.

Took old valve assembly off and replaced with new assenbly

just bolted on the new one and hooked up the hose

Replaced floating seal. Un plugged and Pulled washer out from the counter and laid on its left side. Pull pump out of seal by hand. Straight screwdriver to lever seal out of fitting. Clean hole and wipe seal then push into hole. Reinsert pump reverse install.
To make it easier I previously extended the water supply hose to nearly 8 feet so did not have to disconnect it.

I watched a step by step video provided on the Fix It app. Easy to follow directions and only took minutes to tear apart and put back together. Didn't even require help from my husband. Although the latch and striker were not the problem, contacted parts select and they then recommended the electronic control board, they ordered it, had it shipped to me within a few days, another really easy fix I did using the You tube video. Fixed the problem lickety-split. I will never go without my fix it app. Entered all my appliances. Sure beats spending hundreds on appliance repairmen! Thank you Parts Select!

Nightmare!!! The Striker latch did not pop out with a screwdriver as it was supposed to. The whole dishwasher needs to be disconnected and pulled out, then front door removed and totally disassembled to remove the screw to replace the striker latch. lots of work to replace a striker latch. Bad design!

the design of this part is easy to break when closing the top rack.

there is a hub that clicks in place and a spinner within this that makes the water spray evenly on the top of the tub of the dishwasher

the part broke when closing the rack [a dish too tall hit it]

it took less than 5 minutes to replace as the part just clicks into two edge spots i did this without removing the rack or even looking into the tub all by feel

Twist counter clockwise to remove clockwise to install

Shut off power at breaker, remove two screws anchoring DW to counter top . Slide DW out far enough to access door latch, disconnect electrical wiring plug, remove two Phillips head screws, install new door latch, repeat installation in reverse order.

Took cover of door off. Removeddoor from frame 1st. Lift door off of hinge. Disconnect door from springs. Unscrew bottom screws at base of door. Lift front cover(actually slides down) remove old part replace with new.make sure unplug door from main body.

Repair was straightforward. You can change water inlet on this model from underneath in bottom from, although it is a little tight
