FDB1050REM2 Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

First I read the online bog's such as this one, those instruction said it was an easy task to pull out the old gasket from either side and then push in the new gasket in reverse of removal, in from either side, but the only way the gasket can be installed is to lay it along the channel it is to be installed in and then push it upwards. Due to all they butter and grease that gather's on the edges at the bottom of the door it is nearly impossible to slide it in place, so to push it up is the only way that will work!

First I unplugged the diswasher, than I unscrewed 4 screws on the inside of the door which pops the door off, unplug two wires, note which one goes where, unscrew 6 screws that holds dispenser in place, than reverse order to install new part. Very easy.

I simply opened the door all the way and used pliers to grab hold of the old bottom gasket and slid it out sideways. Then inserted the new bottom gasket into the slot and pushed it in. No leaks for the new pergo floor. Half the battle was realizing that this thing was in there to begin with. It is a long thin plastic flap with a rubber strip on both sides not reallya gasket per say. Fast delivery and great instruction from other customers.

Removed kick plate at lower front of unit. At lower left is water inlet valve. Measured voltage across inlet valve solenoid at start of cycle. Was getting 120V to solenoid, but solenoid not opening valve thus no water going into dishwasher. Ordered replacement inlet valve. To remove inlet valve, disconnect two wires from valve assembly, disconnect water supply tube and remove two screws from mounting bracket. Now you can remove water hose that goes to dishwasher. Reverse order for install of new valve assy.

Easy, hardest part was finding place like Parts Select that had what I needed. Found part promptly and now I have to cook.

We read how others did the repair and my husband had no problem changing it.. . I have a daycare and he had it fixed in a few minute after the kids had lunch and had it in before I could get them all laid down for nap. . . he took off the front door, took ooff the pkug in to the dispenser and took it out, then put the new one in, and hooked up the plug in and put the front cover back on, and it works great!! My dishwasher hasn't worked this good in a long time. I am swo glad I fo9und this web site. Sharon-Indiana

pulled out old seal replaced with new one very simple

Turn the water off to the dishwasher. Loosen water supply connector w/ crescent or sized wrench. Remove bracket srews from water inlet. Remove spring clip from discharge hose, remove hose from discharge nipple. Replace with new part in reverse order.

pulled the old gaskets out, put the new ones in. Just like that. No tools, nothing. I would compare it in difficulty to the process of paying for gas at the pump and then filling your car up.

I ordered ithe spray arm late on Tuesday night and received it Thursday morning. Much faster than I expected. I pulled out the old one and slipped in the new one and it worked better than it did before. The new one was a slightly different shape but worked fine. I am very pleased with the service.

I opened the boxes (which arrived VERY quickly! thank you) and exchanged the old racks with the new racks. The upper rack had to be re-fitted with the spinning spray mechanism, but, it was very easy to changed it from installation on the old upper rack to re-installation on the new upper rack.

It was all a breeze!

ordered new racks and replaced.. very easy way to order..prompt delivery. made my wife very happy..great xmas present..haha

At 1st gasket kept going in to far, but after a few tries an my wifes help it went in. I had trouble with the adjustable legs as the floor was tiled an rasid up, but all in all everything went good. Ran it a few times on rinse. We're ready to go. Richard

took out the old racks, disassembled the top blade and put on new top rack and put new bottom rack in!
easy

Within 5min of running the dishwasher it kept leaking out of one side at the bottom of the door. I took out all the screws all to find out there was no need to do so. Although having it open I was able to find that the bottom door gasket looked dry rotted and was falling apart... after a little research online I was able to find that this is a common issue and I ordered the new part. The part arrived next day... all I had to do was slide it in where the old one was. It did the trick!!! No more leaks!
