GDWF100V70WW General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

First I had to unscrew screws under the counter then pulled built in dishwasher out from under the counter, attached hing arm link to right side bracket on door, and the other end I attatched to a spring at the back of the unit. Thats it! and pushed the dishwasher back into place. All back to normal....by the way Im a 67 yr old great grandmother...

I took out the old rack and put in the new rack. Took about 20 seconds tops. But I had thought I needed to order the wheels (8 of them) and the wheel attachments (8 of those, too) separately because when you go to order the rack, it is suggested that you buy those, too. But the rack came with all the parts I needed so I ended up returning the stud rollers. Very happy with the product and the friendly service.

Turned power off, removed dishwasher, tipped on side, removed and installed pump asym, reinstalled

I removed the screws on the inside of the door assembly, which allows the inside of the door to seperate from the outside. The escuchen (control panel) was easy to remove - the handle actuator is inside the control panel. The handle assembly was easy to take apart and re-assemble with the new handle and spring. I then inserted the control panel back into the outside door and reattached all of the screws with a power drill. This was a repair that a GE-authorized service tech told me was going to be over $540 - he claimed the control panel and door handle/actuator was a single assembly. In the end this repair cost me $14 in parts and 15 minutes of time. I complained to GE Consumer Affairs and they rebated the tech house call back to me in 5 business days.

This was a piece of cake. The original soap dispenser never worked right and always left unused soap. The new part was easy to install and works great. Only needed a 1/4" nut driver and philips screw driver to pull the outside panel and replace the module rinse and cap assy. Easy!

replaced it

Removed Dishwasher, inverted it and replaced the sump housing. There are 2 screws mounting the top of the dishwasher to the counter, a water connection and the electrical connection. Remember to turn the water off and the electricity off. Slide the DW out on carpet. Carried it to the garage to affect the repair. Reinstalled the dishwasher. Most difficult part of this is that the water hose is really short. I used a 6ft extension so that the next time I have to pull this out it will be easier.

Exactly as described by a previous reviewer. I pulled out the old rack, put in the new rack and just moved over the cutlery rack.

Part was an exact match. Make sure to use plumber's tape on all threads. Had to really tighten fittings to prevent leaks. Screws are a little difficult to get to. Test for leaks first, before final installation.

When I first tried to fix the handle I could not figure out where the spring went. I went back online and looked at the diagram of the dishwasher on this site and learned where it went. Once I knew where every piece went it only took me about 5 minutes to put it back in and another 5 minutes to screw the cover back on. I am a newer homeowner and want to be able to do minor fixes. This was my first one and was very happy that I was able to do it on my own.

Once we ordered both the "Stud Roller" and "Roller Lower Rack" the repair was simple.

The previous studs mostly disitegrated, so their removal was not an issue. The wheels pulled off easily.

I recomend getting new studs and rollers for all of the wheels on your rack. For me, that was 8 wheels and 8 studs.

First, take the rack out and flp it upside down in a convenient working space. Next, remove all of the old wheels and studs from the rack and discard. Then, snap the new wheels on to the new studs. Next, atached the stud (with the wheel) to each of the 8 spots on the rack. Put the rack back in the dishwasher and walla!

I can't beive that I waited almost two years to make this simple repair.

1. remove old basket. 2 Place new basket.. Done

This repair applies to the right and left side upper slide rails for the upper dish rack, GE part number WD30X10039, (they are identical for each side) as used in GE dishwasher PDWT100V00BB.

No tools are required. A flashlight will come in handy and a wet rag or old towel may be useful to clean the DW interior while everything is apart.

1. Remove the upper dish rack from the old rails by sliding the rack forward as far as it will go and unclip the small horizontal locator rods on the dish rack (there are two on each side of the rack) from the corresponding plastic clips on both rails (mine had already broken so I skipped this step).

2. It is not necessary to remove any of the plastic end caps or clips to remove the old rails. Instead, look for a small (1/2 inches long) white lever about halfway along the inside of each the old rails (they face into the interior of the dishwasher). They will not be removed-they will retain the new rails. This is where the flashlight is helpful.

3. Push the left lever down and the right lever up (because the rails are identical but flipped) while pulling the rails forward. The rails should slide out. Be careful that the small plastic ball bearings on the innermost part of the old rails don't escape from their races. My DW was older and evidently he balls had deteriorated to the point that they no longer fit in their races. They went everywhere.

4. At this point, it may be worthwhile to clean the tracks still inside the DW where the new rails will go to remove accumulated gunk so that the new rails will slide as new.

5. Slide the new rails into the left and right tracks, keeping the same orientation as with the old rails. They should slide on easily without the necessity to pushing the levers again-the levers should simply move out of the way and then return to lock the new rails into place. It may take one or two tries to align the rails properly on the existing tracks, but once this is done the new rails should slide on easily.

I may have made this sound more difficult than it really is. It's fairly easy, but I couldn't find a video online for this particular repair and wanted to provide as much detail as possible. Good luck!

The repair is simple and straightforward. I rated as a bit difficult since the rack mounts on the new were located in the wrong place.

Releasing the rack from the slide rails requires either a Phillips screwdriver or a ratchet and socket.

The issue to check for, which I missed, is if the rail mounts on the new rack are in the same position as on the old rack. Mine were not and I did not discover until the new rack was fully installed. Once the unit was back out, 7 SS screws need to be removed on each side to move the mounts to the correct position.

No tools required. The seal just pushes into a channel around the tub. The lower ends are held by a wire that spans the lower edge of the door. I started with the lower end since I didn't know just how the seal was installed and found the wire that sticks into the hollow center of the end of the seal. The seal just pulls out so removed it and the wire. Cleaned the seal channel and wire and installed the new seal starting at the bottom and working upwards. after the lower ends are anchored,I found the center of the seal and upper channel and pushed it in place and worked around the corners and down. I did that because I have seen seals stretch as you push them in place and end up in the middle with excess material you have to work back into the seal channel.
