Gasket at the bottom of the door disintegrated.
45 of 68 people found this instruction helpful.
  • D from LE CENTER, MN
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
Took off the kickplate, diconnected the wires and removed the whole door by lifting straight up, removing spring wires from hinges. Once door is disconnected from the machine, removed one hinge by removing bolt. Slid gasket into place, secured hinge back in place, then reconnected wires at bottom, replaced hinge spring wires and slid d oor back down onto hinges. Now that we know how to do it, could do it in 15 min to half hour.

  • James from ALBRIGHTSVLLE, PA

  • Less than 15 mins
  • Screw drivers
1. Turn off breaker supplying power to dishwasher in electrical panel
2. Open dishwasher door
3. Unscrew the screws that secure the dishwasher to the counter.
4. Tip dishwasher forward. Identify the non-functioning door latch. It looks exactly like the replacement. Unclip the wire harness from the door latch.
5. On the inside of the dishwasher, there are 2 screws directly under the door latch. Unscrew them and carefully set aside.
6. Remove old door latch.
7. Set new door latch in place. Holding securely, replace screws removed in step 5. Toward the end they get a little tougher to screw in.
8. Plug wire harness into new door latch.
9. Re-align dishwasher and re-secure to counter in previous position.
10. Test latch to make sure it closes properly.
11. Turn on breaker in electrical panel.
The dishwasher should now function properly.

Dishwasher would not fill with water and would shut off
18 of 21 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Linda from MYRTLE BEACH, SC
  • Easy

  • Nutdriver, Pliers, Screw drivers, Wrench (Adjustable)
I found it online! There were step by step instructions that were easy to understand. I have never had to do anything like this in my life, only recently had to start doing everything around the house myself due to husband's illness.
The repairman came out, charged me $100 to determine what the dishwasher needed & left me with the p art number. He was going to charge me $389 to install the part and they were over charging for the part. The repairman suggested I just get a new dishwasher.
I ordered the part from the website at 1/2 the price that the other place charges and found it on line. With the step by step instructions and the online page, I successfully installed it MYSELF. Saved me a ton of $$.
I LOVE the website
Thank You!!!!

Dishwasher leaking at bottom of door
15 of 15 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Brad from FORT THOMAS, KY
  • Really Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
  • Socket set
Don't remove the door! Unscrew the bolts at each lower corner of the door(this is how the door is attached to the hinges so it is now free). Then open the door fully and slowly pull the door toward you a few inches. This slides the door up the hinges and allows just enough room to slide the old gasket out and and slide the new one in. Then slide the door back down the hinges(pushing it away from you, back into place). Then simply close the door and reinstall the bolts at the bottom corners and all done! I watched several videos and believe me, removing the door to replace this gasket does nothing but turn and small quick repair into a large lengthy one.

H2O error code. Not filling with water randomly
15 of 15 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Michael from TOMS RIVER, NJ
  • Really Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Nutdriver, Screw drivers
Turned off power from breaker at electric panel. Removed kick plate and mounting screws. Disconnected supply line from hot water valve after shutting off. Disconnected flex hose drain. Pulled dishwasher out. Used channel locks to undo water valve supply hose. Used nut driver to remove water valve bracket and disconnected sensor plug in . Installation was opposite of removal.
Fill sensor was a twist and turn and a disconnect from sensor plug. I believe my problem was just the fill sensor but decided to do both parts just in case it was the water fill valve so I didn’t have to pull the appliance out again. Parts were cheap enough to do both.

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!

Unscrewed brackets on top of dishwasher from underside of counter. Removed dress plate at bottom of dishwasher. Pulled dishwasher out of opening to access door hinge. Disconnected pulley cable/rope from each side door hinge. Let go slowly.
There is a 1/4 bolt holding the door tight to the hinge. With door closed (still) the screw is on bottom of bottom edge. Use wrench to loosen and remove.
Once both bolts are out, open door. Pull door away from dishwasher just enough (1-3 inches) to slide out old gasket. Prior to removing take note of existing gasket orientation and installation. Slide old gasket out one side and slide new gasket in.
Push in door tight to hinges,close door, use wrench to put bolts back in. Reattach pulley cable/rope to each side. Push back into opening. Reattach to counter. Put dress plate on bottom back.
Return dishwasher to regular use.

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

  • Susan from OAKDALE, PA
  • Very Difficult
  • More than 2 hours
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.

Original dishwasher racks. Both top and bottom had several prongs rust and break off. Leaving half the racks useless.

  • Nick from ANKENY, IA
  • Very Easy
  • Less than 15 mins
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.
