GDF640HFM2DS General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

The old gasket pulled right out with no tools needed,
The new gasket went in the same way.

Results:
It did help on one side, but the bottom gasket also needs to be replaced it has a couple of tears one on each end.

Next Steps:
When the bottom gasket gets here I will replace that and it should be as good as new.

The base of the spray arm literally just spins a little bit into place like a luer lock. Takes two seconds to replace.

Took off the door and separated the two door pieces. Unscrewed the old dispenser and replaced it with the new one.

Put new basket in, threw old one away

Researched what others have posted about on Parts select. That really helped with the diagnosis! Took a chance on a $28 part. Repairman was going to charge $150 just to show up, then diagnose, leave for 2 months while waiting for the part, charge another $150 plus the part to fix…
Just had to pull out dishwasher far enough to take the water supply line off. Then the water inlet solenoid then 2 more screws and a 2 pronged plug reattach water supply then done! 15 minutes MAX!!!

Removed the old lower rack and slide the new one in.

I removed the old roller wheels and the new roller wheels snapped together and the simple instructions made the repair quick and simple..

Looked upm the problem it said door wasn.t closed so cause was the door latch. put in the new one no change so I bought a new dishwasher

This is for a front facing control panel, not a top facing one. Likely similar process.

Remove lower splash guard, raise the feet all the way, pull out dishwasher about 6-inches. Remove the two small screws from the bottom of the door that hold the outer door liner to the inner door liner.

Disconnect the pull-cord from the spring assembly. Open the door about 1/3 and lift the door off. Be careful, there's not a ton of slack in the wire loom. Put it on towels on the floor to avoid scratching the door.

Separate the two door panels by sliding the outer liner upward and off.

Disconnect the steam vent by twisting off the cap on the inside and lifting up.

Using the pick tool, pull up on the plastic on the inside of the control panel assembly and pop it out from the little silver tabs on the outer door. Once all of them are popped (4 or 5), it will lift right off.

Disconnect the connector from the control board. Take out the two screws holding the control board in. Replace, and reverse procedure for reassembly.

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.

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 repair instructions were great and the repair went well. The repair took less than an hour.

Thank you

First I replaced the main board. This resulted in $100.00 down the drain. I was thinking that I had a surge on the circuit causing the dish washer to randomly come on. This wasn’t the case. I turned my attention to the touch pad control. I ordered the configured ui board. Took door off and took apart. Found the problem. Liquid had been spilled on the cabinet and had ran inside the door. Replaced the board. Fixed, no more trouble.

We I installed a new dishwasher pump. It was simple and easy. I did it myself. My husband removed the clamps holding the dishwasher in the cabinet. Then he turned it in it's side and I replaced the old pump for an identical one that I ordered from this site. Easy peasy, took all of 15 minutes. You've got this. Don't call a repair man and pay $300 or buy a new dishwasher and pay $800. This repair was $63. If I can do it, you can!!!

The replacement dishwasher basket easily fit in my dishwasher. Easy to order. Quick delivery. Highly recommended.
