soap dish door does not always pop open
7 of 20 people found this instruction helpful.
  • John from Dubuque, IA
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 1- 2 hours
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
the plastic pin that retains the spring has a head on one end that hits a plastic stop on the door to keep it from coming out. I used a small grinder and made a flat spot on the head diameter to make it easy to slide out. This is easier than trying to pry the door off the pin at the two retaing snaps. I was conderned these pin retainer clips were brittle and would break off.
Once the pin is slid out, it is a matter to hold the new spring holes in line with the pin. rotate pin so flat side you ground is turned up, so pin will not move out that way. Tiij about an hour

Door seal leaked and wash arm bearing broken

  • Glen from Harrison, ME
  • Really Easy

The door seal was easy. In less than 15 minutes I peeled the old one off and installed the new one. Also the new seal arrived in 2 days. In replacing the seal I noticed a screw laying in the bottom of the dishwasher. As I removed the lower washing arm which was real easy I noticed that the plastic bearing for the lower arm was no good. La te Thursday evening I went on line and ordered the bearing, and to my surprise it was delivered to my house on Saturday. In 15 minutes I had the bearing installed and we were back in business. I'm just amazed at how easy your web site is to use, and the promptness of the parts delivery. You guys are great.

I grabbed the lower right end of the gasket with my Leatherman Tool pliers and pulled out the old gasket.

It took less than five minutes. It now works like new.
I ordered the part with standard delivery and it was here in just a couple of days. Very easy fix.

removed old seal, placed new seal in place. Used my fingers to push it in place. It didn't work as it still leaks. I've put vaseline on the seal and door and it helps but still leaks. The dishwasher doesn't overfill, so I still have the problem, just not as bad.

one screw held the switch in place and is located at the front left of the machine at the bottom access panel, the new part was exactly as the old, the wires pulled off easy and plugged in to the new with no problem, switch still makes a noise and did not fix the problem, my fault not yours. Timer is moving thru the cycle but machine do es no run or water flow in.

Dishrack Tines were breaking off due to age
1 of 3 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Keith from Dayton, TX
  • Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
The rack came with pictorial instructions which were fairly veg, however they were to the point. The wheels snapped into place easily, and the center water transfer tube twisted off the old one and twisted on the new one just fine. It is a very good idea to keep the old one out to look at as a guide. There were no instructions on how to r emove the transfer tube, I was lucky to have already worked on these before. After that it fits and works just peachy.
