It wasnt exactly the right lower dish rack to hold silverware holder. Instead of the trouble of sending it back we will use it. Silverware holder takes up some of the space for other dishes.
1. Take a picture of the old rack in the dishwasher! Just in case! 2. Remove rail channel end caps and place them on the tabletop on the correct side to make sure you put them back on the correct side. 3. Remove old rack. 4. Carefully snap off the water sprinkling unit. (carefully push down tabs so they don't break). 5. Using your picture as a reference (!) snap the water sprinkling unit on the new rack (it's easy). 6. Put the new rack back onto the rail channel and replace the end caps.
Done! Very easy installation ! Rack was not nearly as expensive as I anticipated and was delivered quickly. Note: You get the rack only. All ot the other parts are from the old unit.
Simple answer- do not try to do this. GE makes you replace the entire door to replace this $3 part or call them and pay $100s to fix it. We decided to replace the entire dishwasher after we went through disassembly (there are no instructions on this) only to find out we could not fix without a brand new door.
Door gasket at bottom of door was falling apart and leaking
1. Shut off circuit breaker power 2. remove toekick 3 .disconnect door wire harness at bottom of main control board 4. release 2 wire ties securing harness to tub using long nose pliers 5. remove 2- 1/4 in. hex head screws from bottom of door 6. insert 5/32 in Allen wrench through existing holes in front leg and hinge arm when door is partially opened.(about 1/4 of the way) 7. repeat step 6 on both sides (this locks door partially open) 8. lift door up about 3 in. then tilt door in and remove door completely 9. slide old gasket out and replace with new gasket 9. reassemble door
To remove/install gasket one has to remove a Door Hinge Arm on one side. Then you can easy remove old gasket and replace. Please follow these steps when removing a hinge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTpe1dedyr8
Quite simple. Only disassembly/reassembly was the spray mechanism attached to the bottom of the Upper Rack. Snaps off old and on to new rack with no tools. On this dishwasher model, there is no hose assembly running to water port, but the spray assembly is instead a integrated tube with a male port that "plugs" into a female port on back of unit. Definitely get 2 end caps. Only difference from original, is the design of the bottom rack. To fit such that the door closes, the silverware rack is at the back of the unit versus the front. Somewhat inconvenient. Can put silverware rack in front, but then less efficient for dishes.
Unplug power to the dish washer. Remove 2 kick plate screws to remove kick plate Remove 2 screws that hold DW to underside of countertop Slide out dishwasher enough to access the cables on each side at bottom of door. With door closed, use plyers to lift the cable (one on each side) off the retaining stub. Unplug door wiring connector. Open door and slide door off the hinges. Slide old seal out and insert new seal.
Replaced all 3 spray arms in less than 10 minutes.The top one came in two pieces,the mounting bracket and the arm.Snap the bracket on the dishwasher first , then attach the arm to the bracket.
the part is OEM and fits like a glove. No worries. There is a minor variation in design and is not like for like design but fits exactly per specs and works. I have been looking for this part for years now. Thank you for PS for maintaining the inventory.
