FDB956RBC1 Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

The main tub gasket just pulled out by hand - no tools needed. Installing new one was just as easy, Just remember the wide part of the gasket sits in the bottom of the groove and cut off the excess with scissors.
Door gasket - not so easy. The six screws near the top of the door do NOT need to be removed, only the two (phillips) mid-way down the side. Remove the bottom panel by pulling down (it sits in a pocket of the top panel). The bottom door gasket just pulls out and insert the new one by hand (can be tight). Re-install bottom panel by sliding up into the top panel pocket, aligning the holes and screw home.
Normally,, you would be done but not in my case. The slow drip was still there. Investigation revealed that under the bottom panel (yes, we took it off again) is a tie-wrap holding wires at the bottom of the door that collects condensed steam and allows it to drip outside of the bottom plastic tray onto the floor. We thought that the tie-wrap was unnessesary and cut it off. Test drive- No more drips!

Took off all the screws, replaced the dispenser-no problem. However, I couldn't get the top to stay in place long enough to get the screws back in. My boyfriend came over and couldn't get it together without using a longer screw in the top area. Now it works great.
The only other problem was my bank and my VISA-they both called me stating my account was being used out of the country. They issued a fraud alert at first, but I called them and told them everything was fine.

Took out lower rack, snapped new peices into place. Perfect fit, easy to install, made all the difference in the world!

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!

i removed the inner door screws, removed the 2 screws that held the switch in, disconnected the 2 wires and then reversed the proceedure.

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.

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.

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 removed the screws around the top part of the door (from the inside side); carefully lowered the front panel down; unscrewed the old part; swapped the wires; screwed in the new part; and re-assembled the door. That was literally it -- 10 minutes and it was in and functioning better than it ever had with the broken latch. And the design looks so much more solid on this one.

The gasket didn't need to be replaced but I figured I'd do it anyway. It's a little harder than it seems like it would be, and in fact I spent more time on this than the latch itself, but it eventually went in and works just fine as well.

I hesitated for a long time because of the price, wondering if it was the right part. It looks very different in the actual latch mechanism, but it works perfectly. I wish I'd done this ages ago ^_^;;

Had a leak, due to the factory gasket was 1/2 " to short. Pulled out old one, installed new one, and trimed to fit. Took less the 5 minutes.

Order the part here, it arrived in days, pushed it on it's base. all done!

This was the best price on the internet. It was delivered quickly and after removing 4 screws, I could access the handle. Was relieved that I had correct tool for screws inside. Removed handle and unhooked wires. Plugged wires into new handle and fastened. Replaced panel in door then popped out gasket and replaced. Started dinner, turned around and repaired dishwasher and then sat down to eat. I am A single mom and this was VERY simple to replace!

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!

I put the wrong bend in the door gasket first time. Be careful of the bend on the bottom right and left. Re did the gasket and all is well. The door latches more smoothly than before. The only problem I had was putting the panel back on. I have a new hip and squatting for a time becomes problematic. Would do it again!!!

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
