EDW5100N00CC General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

I have replaced the both control boarsd and now the micro swith and plunger still no avail. The dishwasher still will not come on, the cycle end light just keeps blinking and I can not get the dishwasher to allow any other cycle buttons to be used they just stay unlit.

We tried cleaning the sprayer by unclogging the spray holes but it didn't last very long. I decided to see what it would cost to replace the piece. I have used this site before and love how easy it is to find the part you need. The sites have good pictures so you feel very good that you are ordering the correct part. They also have helpful suggestions for problem.. I ordered the part and it arrived two days later and we installed it right away...I started the dishwasher for a test run and forgot how loud it use to spray..The prices are also great just a service call from a repair man would of cost me triple what I got my new part.

Took pliers and removed old end caps, replaced rack/roller slides then put on new end caps. Was just that fast and easy. No problems. Doing it myself saved me a bundle of money. Thanks Partselect...just hope I won't need you for awhile. B. Williams

On the Model PDW9880, there are about 14 screws to be removed. I used a large Phillips driver and a pair of needle nose pliers. You cannot use a cordless drill driver for about 10 of the screws unless you have a long bit, as the 10 screws are so close to the body of the dishwasher door that the chuck of the drill will not clear. At the top of the door there are two screws on either side of the latch. The two screws are attached to white plastic blocks that serve as a lip to hold the outer door to the liner. It took a little wrestling with the two plastic blocks to slide them out from under the lip, releasing the outer door. Be sure not to let the outer door drop away, as it will tug on the ribbon cables that connect the display to the dishwasher. Keep a towel or sponge handy to keep the
dishwasher handle from resting on the tile floor. There were 4 electrical connections, including two ribbon cables, both of which just pulled out. I needed a needle nose pliers to remove the 2 spade connectors from the detergent dispenser solenoid, in order to pull on the connector, not tug on the wire. The entire repair is actually pretty straightforward and easy. It took 40 minutes, doing it slowly and carefully. But please don't tell anyone that it is easy, because my wife thinks it was an extremely complex repair, involving the risk of high voltage electricity.

The replacement part fits different makes and models, and does not have any brand identification, other than the Cascade logo cast into the front. Other than that, it appears to be identical to the original. Note: The
soap cup does not open for several minutes in the cycle, so don’t waste time or frustrate yourself (as I did) by checking the dispenser during the first 10 minutes of the cycle. Incidentally, although the company is in Canada, my part shipped from Central California (Fresno) and arrived in the Los Angeles area the next business day.

Took the old rack out - replaced with new rack. It took longer to get the rack out of the shipping box than it took to install it. No tools required.

Remove the eight door screws. Pull plastic inner door panle off. Disconnect wires for the detergent door opener (mark them first). Clean inside the door and the seal area on the washer. Slide out bad seal, slide new one in. Reinstall. I went to home depot and replaced the rusting screws with stainless screws.

the repair would have been much easier but the screws from the old inlet valve did not match the size of the holes on the new valve.

Checked the water supply to the inlet valve - OK, pulled the filler hose from the outlet side of the valve and checked flow in wash cycle. Results, less than 1/2 gallon. Checked your website, found 94% sucess rate by replacing the valve, so I ordered one. It took about 10 minutes to install with a nut driver, 6" adjustable to connect water supply, and plier to hold outlet clamp open to install it; now we look forward to dirty dishes rather than dumping water into the machine it takes care of itself and we once again get sparkly cups andglasses of the top rack. OU- Rah!!

Removed power from the unit through circuit breaker. Removed front of door cover (6 screws). Used a plastic plate to help hold down the front section of the door and undid 6 #15 torx screws and unsnapped the relay board and then replaced all the parts in reverse order. 10 minutes tops, took longer to find my #15 torx screwdriver.

Ordered part online, arrived two days later. Removed and replaced dispenser with new unit. Easy job. Dishwasher works like new.

Took seconds to pop the new stop in place.

first off if you can understand the problem DO NOT CALL THE GE REPAIR SERVICE AND HAVE A REPAIRMAN COME TO YOUR HOME you will save over $300.00. a mistake i made, it cost me $79.95 just for him to tell me the dishwasher was broken and then i was told it would cost me over $300.00 to fix it. WHEN I TALKED TO PARTSELECT I FOUND THE WATERVALVE FOR A LITTLE OVER $55.00 WITH SHIPPING IT TOOK ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO DISCONNECT THE DISHWASHER AND REMOVE THE OLD PART AND ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME TO REPLACE THE NEW ONE THEY EVEN HAD GOOD INSTRUCTIONS IF YOU NEEDED THEM. I FOUND PARTSELECT SERVICE TO BE A VERY GOOD BUSINESS TO WORK WITH. ROY F BURTNETT

we followed the instructions as posted on your web site. Once the dishwasher was apart it was self explanatory. We did however need pliers to separate the wires from the old soap dispenser.

Replacing the soap dispenser was relatively easy, But a word of caution.when I removed the front panel, as it fell off, it pulled the electrical tape out of the door. That of course ruined the electrical panel. Even better, that panel is no longer made. So unless you really want a new dishwasher, be sure you support the front panel when removing. Probably the easiest way to do that (I found out later) is to sit on the floor with the front panel on your legs as youminscrew it. Do read other reviews about how to do the repair as the part comes with no instructions and GE is of virtually no help.

Removed old pump and replaced. Did not want to wait 2-3 weeks for a repair person
