order #16343054 Complete service rack
this was ordered 4-9-21 and I have yet to receive it. Its difficult to explain the installation when you haven't received the main part. I paid for this but you have not shipped it. Very poor customer service.
Release DW from cabinet and pull out, Unplug power. Remove kick plate and unplug door cable. Open door about 6 inches and using socket back out 2 bolts at bottom of door corners.

Replacing the bottom gasket on GE GDT530PGD2BB Dishwasher
Some of these other instructions may be for other models. This is specifically for GDT530PGD2BB, which doesn't present screws on the inner side of the door.
I'm extremely reluctant to do anything more than the repair at hand, so I didn't move the dishwasher out of its recessed cabinet, which would make the repair easier. I also did not remove the connector plug from the dishwasher to the door, since there was enough slack to do the repair without this step.
1. Turn off power to the dishwasher.
2. Under the bottom of the door, there are two 1/4" hex screws that can be removed with a small socket wrench, or if you moved the dishwasher out, you can tip it over slightly and get at these screws with a Phillips screwdriver.
3. With those out, you can open the door flat and slide it off it's hinges *just a little bit*. You need maybe an inch or so clearance to slide the old gasket out and slide the new one in. I had to use pliers to remove the old, very damaged gasket, but the new one easily slid into place.
4. Were you able to just move the door out a bit without removing it totally from the hinges? Great! Slide it back, put those screws in the bottom again, and you've done it! Probably in minutes!
5. Or, you could be like me and accidentally lift the door too far and have one of the hinges pop out. If I had someone helping me, it would have taken half a minute to put the door back on its hinges, but I was by myself, so I had to finagle something to keep the hinges open (two screwdrivers wedged handle first), so I could slide the door back on the hinges. That took me about 10 minutes. ¯\_(?)_/¯
1. Turned off circuit breaker 2. Pulled out dishwasher 3. Disconnected switch and popped out switch 3. Popped in new switch and connected 4. Pushed dishwasher back into place 5. Turned on circuit breaker 6. Turned on dishwasher and it worked
This is a replacement that is straightforward but a bit mechanical. For an experienced engineer it was no problem but for the common household this is a repair best left to the pros. Fixed the issue no problem and the dishwasher is working perfectly now.
Dishwasher would not start Would run if you added 2 qt. water manually
Unplugged power. Shut off water supply. Remove the kick panel. Unscrewed dishwasher from under cabinet and side screws. lower feet to reduce tension. As you slide the dishwasher out, be sure all lines (Drain, water supply, electric are free to move with dishwasher. I was able to hold the dishwasher at an angle to easily get to the valve. After removing the the valve, i screwed the new valve back into place. I removed the Line between the valve and Dishwasher. Putting the line on the new valve. I removed the water supply line from the old valve and installed it on the new valve. Placed the dishwater back in place and screed it back in. I ran the cycles. everything works! I replace the kickpaner a couple of hours later. Check to make sure there were now leaks.
- Removed standing water using shopvac - Uninstalled dishwasher - Hooked up hoses temporarily and ran dishwasher - Cancelled wash cycle and started drain cycle - checked drain pump voltage at pump power cable - OK - Measured drain pump windings and verified open circuit - Ordered new drain pump - Removed old drain pump and installed new unit - Hooked up hoses temporarily and ran dishwasher - OK - Re-installed dishwasher
Door would pop open after starting dishwasher numerous times before latching would catch.
Removed two latch screws and one electrical connection, Removed two screws that hold D/W to countertop, pulled D/W out enough to remove the old latch, install new latch, push D/W back into place, rescrew to counter top and rescrew the two latch screws. This problem happened since new, had repairmen twice and they did nothing but move the dishwasher stating it needed alignment, never mentioned this easy repair....
Looked up the replacement part on YouTube, watched a video and followed the instructions. Part ordered was the correct part and the video showed how to access for replacing. Watched a different video for hooking up the disconnected springs that allow the door to lower and close smoothly. Whole process for repairs was less than 30 minutes.
Very straight forward. After removing the power source the dishwasher was pulled forward enough to access the the door hinge springs. Then the door could be removed and the inner skin separated to access the the dispenser mounting screws.
Not having to screw with the hose clamps is the advantage here! Disconnect electric connection at motor. Slightly bend tabs that hold the pump to motor, twist motor from volute. Do this on old pump first to get a feel for how easy the tabs can be broken Do same on the replacement pump, put new motor on, watch alignment can be a bit tricky.
Followed video instructions step by step. I was fortunate i had enough slack in water, electric and discharge lines to avoid disconnecting.
Two wrinkles 1. wire clips on my door had to be pulled/pried loose from door and there were two not one
2. could not slide dishwasher out after lowering adjusters and figured out it was the mounting tabs bumpimng the granite countertop, thus the use of putty knives to slide the dishwasher out.
Removed the top two screws that hold the dishwasher to the cabinet , remove the two screws on the bottom panel and remove the panel. Screw the levelers all of the way up and pull out the dishwasher about 6 to 8 inch. Hook the new cabe on the spring and pull around pulley and attach it to the door bracket. I replaced both cables. Reverse to complete.
