GDT540PSM0SS General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

Slid out old part and slid in new part!!! Yup that easy!!!!

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

The repair was just like the video that the agent sent me. And while I had the unit out of the cabinet I installed a part I have had for months which I ordered before I realized I had to take the unit out of the cabinet: the part was the seal for the bottom of the door. I recommend if you are ordering a pump order this part too an it is easy to install if you already have the dishwasher out of the cabinet.

Parts diagram shows Striker can be popped out with screwdriver. Not true. It has a screw bolting it internally. Impossible to get to unless you disassemble the entire door. We took a power drill and small drill bit and bore it out like a cavity in a tooth. Needle nose pliers to extract the screw. Pretend your a dentist. Fixed it in 5 minutes. Replacement fit tight. A+

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.

Seems to be a common issue - what is not mentioned is how poor this vendor is at processing returns and how long it takes. It took them 2 weeks to acknowledge my return request which was sent the same day the part arrived - and now they say it could take another 90 days because it is a GE component. I have installed electronic boards in so many devices and even have custom built PC's without an issue (unless the board arrives defective - like this one did! The board arrived dead and the anti-static wrap was previously opened (tape was ripped and not secure). I took some pictures and like the other commenter, my old UI board worked/lights up just fine but will not stay that way for more than a few days (and then have to power cycle the main board until it comes back on). It is annoying - but this supposedly brand new (factory tested my @$$) board will not light up or beep at all! It will go back and will also file a dispute with PayPal if these folks continue to drag their feet. I would stay away from this part - nobody else even has this in stock - but somehow they have access to a pile of defective boards...

Part was incorrect Compare that to GE site saying number on both ports to different parts try to return was half the course of what I paid ridiculous So apparently I'm stuck with it Check GE site you'll see the port is different from what your sound but the numbers are exactly the same No clips to support the utensil tray

This was so easy! Our 4 year-old dishwasher began making a repetitive, clunking noise during wash cycle, and I deducted that it was the spray arms. I tried to rinse out old
spray arms, checked for clogs, and made sure they were installed correctly. The sound persisted, so I ordered replacement part (wash arm kit). I removed old spray arms and attached new ones. Problem solved and dishwasher is quiet again!

Replaced old rack.

Took out 2 screws that held machine in cabinet. Pulled out dishwasher about 4 inches. removed old latch and disconnected electric connection. Put in new latch, reconnected electric connection, replaced screws, pushed machine back in cabinet, replaced 2 screws that hold machine in place. Works like new!

Popped in the new one and done!!!

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

Connected sprayer aligned on bottom of top rack snapped in place. Very easy to install!

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.

Reverse to reassemble

Easy repair, googled a how-to video and I was surprised how well i was able to follow instructions.
