FDB658RAC1 Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

Took out the old lower rack and inserted the new one. Was worth every penny. New rack slides so smooth.

I thought the problem was soap crystal build up, so I tried to file and chip it away, but after replacing the dispenser and checking with a magnifier, I found thet the plastic latch was worn and the dispenser had to br replsced. The video made it easy.

I bought dishracks and a new handle. the dishracks went in without a problem. The bottom one just slides in, the upper one requires removing a plastic latch and somehow getting the middle spout removed, which was difficult. The door handle was easy but required a visit to the hardware store because i didn't have a "torex" screwdriver. Other than that, it was a 15 minute job and it works well now.

Stem and spray arm tabs worn to the point where every time the washer was used the spray arm would pop off and end up on the bottom of the machine, a screwdriver and ten minutes time saved a ton of money and updated the machine.

Bottom dish rack is a direct replacement with no assembly required. Top rack has to have the old center cone removed and placed onto the new upper rack. The top rack comes with rail wheels in place. In order to reinstall the new upper rack you must take the rail stops off to allow the old top rack and wheels to be removed and then place the new top rack with wheels into the rail grooves. Make sure they are rolling correctly and then replace the rail blocks. Happy dishwashing!

Turn off water supply to dishwasher. Turn off electrical power to dishwasher. Remove lower front cover to expose underneath the unit. Locate the valve toward the left, front underneath the washer. unplug the wire harness from the valve. lay a towel under the valve to catch water that WILL come out. Using a pair of needle nose pliers, squeeze and slide back the hose clamp holding the hose to the water bottle. Remove the 2 screws that mount the valve bracket to the frame. There is plenty of slack in the braided water feed hose to pull the valve out from under the washer. Remove the hose from the fitting and then remove the fitting from the valve. Re-wrap the threads of the fitting with teflon tape and install into new valve. Attach and tighten the braided supply hose to the fitting. Install the valve in reverse order of removal. It takes about 10 minutes to do.

all I did was replace the arm , however I took advice from another PartSelect customer - I had to screw the arm into the floor of the dishwasher until it clicked!! Now, it will not tip over.

Watched a video on the website and did it exactly the same

Removed the old gasket and slid in the new one. Very easy.

Lower rack was simple R&R. It was about 1" lower height than original but I suppose it fits multiple apps. Upper rack removed from slide rails with clips removed with fingernails. The funnel & spray arm came off by hand but the old rack had rusted under the snap-on clips on the funnel mount base causing stretching & a loose fit on new rack. I drilled a 1/8" hole in the base & used a small plastic zip-tie to secure the base to the rack. Problem solved. No other tools needed besides the drill & it took longer to go to garage to use it than all else combined. Still about a 10 minute task. Under 1 beer in red-neck repair time.

Remove six screws from upper door to expose the latch.Remove two screws from latch.Remove four wires from the switch.Install wires to switch and reinsert screws to latch and door.From the time I ordered the part,to the time the dishwasher was running again was less than one day,thanks to fast delivery.Fast and easy.

Turned off water and power! Couldn't move dishwasher out, so access was a little problem. Worked to disconnect inlet hose. Finally unscrewed the whole unit, disconnected the outlet hose and the power connection and then unscrewed the unit from the inlet hose. Removed the ell from old unit, applied Teflon tape, and screwed it into new unit. (Tighten it really well. I didn't and had to take things apart again!) Installed new unit starting with the inlet tube, then the outlet tube then the frame screws. Turned water and power back on and tested the dishwasher. SUCCESS! My wife thinks I'm a hero.

I'm a girl and it was pretty simple. I pulled out the dishwasher, removed the bottom plate cover. Removed the water line to the inlet valve and made sure the water was getting to the valve (it was). Removed the electical connector from the valve. Removed the valve and installed the new one. Made sure the water was pumping into the dishwaser. Pushed the dishwasher back into place. Runs great.

I took the replacement rack out of the box. Then I removed the old rack out of the dishwasher and put the new one in. It was that easy.

Removed old rack and discarded it rolled new one in/complete
