GHD3535F00WW General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

follow your video instruction. very simple.

The machine had been running sluggish for a while. Replaced the pump awhile back, but it still wasn't draining good. Then it quit draining. The solenoid is mounted on the pump, two screws and a clip on the valve door shaft come off. The new one is easy to put on. Caution: many of these appliance people say that timers are often needlessly replaced, but when I looked at the old solenoid, it looked like a meltdown had occurred. It was not worn out, it had overheated. Checked out timer and found cause. The gear on the motor shaft was partially stripped, causing drain valve to stay open too long. New timer, solenoid, pump-ten years old and never ran this good.

My machine stopped leaking after I simply massaged the door gasket and cleaned the baffles. I did order the necessary parts, they arrived in a very timely manner and the process was painless. After watching the video for both the door gasket and the tub baffles, when my machine decides to leak again, I will be ready to install new parts. As a snow bird, my machine sits idle for 6 months and I think things tend to dry out. Wonderful experience in ordering and video watching.

First, I unscrewed the bottom panels and then I unscrewed the two screws that secure the dishwasher to the counter. I would advise one to unplug the machine first, but I couldn't find where the unit is plugged in, so I fixed it while it was connected to power. Then I pulled the dishwasher out far enough that I could access the hose located on the left side. Then I unscrewed two screws which secure the upper spray arm, and removed the top part of the broken hose. I learned the hard way that I should have removed as much water as possible prior to making the repair. So water started coming out of the hose. I proceeded to drain the machine via the hose into a bucket. The hardest part of the repair was accessing the screw that fastens the lower part of the hose to the pump--I'm assuming it's the pump(?). Getting the top part of the hose through the hole took a little effort, but the rest was easy. I was amazed at how quickly PartSelect got me the part: early on the day after I ordered and I did not pay for overnight shipping!

Key symptom: when the drain phase begins, there should be a satisfying "Thunk" from the solenoid. No Thunk=solenoid not working

When I first noticed my unit leaking I noted that the leak was dripping right in the middle. So, I went straight to this web site with my model number and the 1st part I saw was for a Gasket Insert which is a small piece that completes the sea. I received that part in 2 day and did the repair and I still had leakage. I went back on the web site and looked further and came across info for the Corner Tub Baffles. I did not even know there were there. I removed mine and it was very obvious that the original Baffles were very worn and wrapped. In addition, the unit was quite filthy. I ordered the two replacement baffles. The parts arrived in two days, did the minor repair and now I have no leaks.

The PartSelect video told me to take the end caps of the track and simply snap the old wheels off. It was easy. I popped the new wheels on, put the rack back on, and reattached the end caps. I was surprised by how simple it was to repair a major kitchen appliance.

Replaced the water-fill solenoid valve.

Overall easy-peasy. The hardest part was getting the dishwasher out from under the counter, once out the problem was self evident, the rubber fitting ( end of hose to dishwasher) was deteriorated. The insulation blanket was water soaked also. The actual time to replace the hose was less than 30 min. but the total job took 3 days, ordering and delivery of part( PartSelect 2 day service) and drying of insulation blanket. The rubber fitting into the washer is tight, I used some Vaseline. Have plenty of towels ready when any hoses are disconnected, they are all full of water. Good luck .Cheers Fritz

Pieces just snapped together. Simple an quick. Part select was wonderful in assisting.

Watched the on-line video. It was great and made the replacement job easy. Without the video, I probably would have broken the plastic end caps while trying to take them off. I highly recommend watching any available repair videos.

Removed existing gasket seal on door. Cleaned really well with a household cleaner around the gasket crease. Installed new gasket seal around door. Started with small notch in the middle of the gasket to center on top and then slowly fastened into door edge and slowly snug around bottom edge where the deal is notched and the the difficult part was to feel the seam again on the bottom to re attach seal after notch from corner. Rupert this on the other side of door.

I followed the video instructions..I was concerned that the end pieces would be a problem, so I purchased replacements also, but they came off with no problem - thanks to the video.They only cost about $2.50, so I will keep them in stock in case I need them at a later date.Without the video, it probably would have driven me nuts trying to figure out how to remove the end pieces, but when you see it done, it was simple.....Thanks Loads.
