Spray arm had become unattached and burned by the heat element
15 of 19 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Mark De from BRONX, NY
  • Very Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
It was a simple as: attach and done!
There is a ring on the part that tightens clockwise to the nipple that sprays out the water that it rests on. Twist clockwise and you are done!
It is a mystery how it was unattached to begin with but not a problem in the end, it was easy to fix!

Thanks for sending genuine GE part s!

Replaced floating seal. Un plugged and Pulled washer out from the counter and laid on its left side. Pull pump out of seal by hand. Straight screwdriver to lever seal out of fitting. Clean hole and wipe seal then push into hole. Reinsert pump reverse install.
To make it easier I previously extended the water supply hose to nearly 8 feet so did not have to disconnect it.

The service rack vinyl coating had worn off on the rails on the bottom resulting in the metal being exposed and rusted.

Could not do the repair. The incorrect service rack was shipped. It was a different model than what was ordered. It was a different size and would not fit. Had to ship it back at my own expense. Service rack was $77.03 and that has been reimbursed. The return shipping cost to me was $43.75. That expense still has not been reimburse d. I do not want to risk ordering another service rack and risk having to go through the same type of service again.

Ordered both a top and bottom rack. It's as simple as pulling the old ones out and sliding the new ones in. There's two small clips for the tops rack that need opened and placed the new rack. As well as the plastic blade. No tools were needed for any of it. Would highly recommend these as replacements if someone needs them. Couldn't be an y easier.

Loud knocking. Sounds like plate banging against other plates or side of dish washer.

1) Pull out lower basket plate holder out. Now would be a good time to check roller wheels. 2) Grasp lower spray arm base (knurled collar on base) and turn counter clockwise to release. 3) Install new spray arm and turn knurled collar on base clockwise to lock it in. 4) Reinstall lower basket plate holder.
* Done *

Replaced Lower Spray Arm for GE Dishwasher
9 of 11 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Wendy from CHESAPEAKE, VA
  • Very Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
There was no repair -- it was a simple snap-in replacement of lower spray arm assembly. The shaft holding the lower spray arm in place is plastic so of course it broke when a utensil blocked the arm from spinning.

I appreciate the Parts Select company for enabling me to purchase a replacement part though that allows me to keep my old dishwasher working.

All we had to do was order the top and lower racks and put them in. It was way less work and cheaper than having to put in a new dishwasher.

the hub that holds the spinner for the top water in the dishwasher broke
7 of 8 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Gary from CONNEAUT, OH
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
the design of this part is easy to break when closing the top rack.

there is a hub that clicks in place and a spinner within this that makes the water spray evenly on the top of the tub of the dishwasher

the part broke when closing the rack [a dish too tall hit it]

it took less than 5 minutes to replace as the part just clicks into two edge spots i did this without removing the rack or even looking into the tub all by feel

Chances are your Lower spray arm is worn or jets are off. Replacing this part is very easy. Grab the base of the lower spray arm, twist and pull straight up. Place the new one in and twist lock in place. Repair complete!
