GLD4550R08CS General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

The repair was easy. Removed all the screws from the inside door panel, approx. 11. Watch out for that last screw as there isn't anything else holding the outside panel, inside panel and control panel together other than those screws. I then unplugged the old dispenser backed out another 6 screws and replaced the old dispenser with the new one. Put it all back together within about a half hour.

After removing the screws, the front of the dishwasher easily came off. I put 2 screws back in to hold the control panel in place. I did not want that to dangle while replacing the part. The part came off easily after removing the screws. Everything went together easy.

just slid the new rack into place

I removed the old seal, cleaned behind it, and then put the new seal in. We saw a video on You Tube on how to do it. Partselect also sent instructions on a e mail with the order receipt. We enjoyed working with you guys. Your customer service representative was very nice and accurate in sending out the part. All went as she said it would. Thanks!!

Diassembled the door from the insside and installed new board as instructions specified.
Frustration is that this is the second time I have had to replace for the same dishwasher....

Changed the main chip. the unit then started and continuously ran. Thought something was wrong with it. It is just a cycle of the dishwasher and when the pump quit running the dishwasher ran and operates. Saved me lots of money and time.

two screws, two minutes, all done

placed the end cap into location and forced it into place. Fixed -and we are all much happier!!

Slide it into the arm until you hear it snap

I called your tech and she sent me a awesome video that made it so easy to fix on my own

Pulled the old one out and placed the new one right into place

I removed the plastic end caps by gently pushing and twisting them. Once the end caps were off the basket slid out. The old wheels were removed and the new ones clipped in very easily. I then slid the basket back into place and replaced the end caps. The most difficult part was removing the end caps. I was afraid that I would break them, but by being careful and not forcing the piece they easily came off.

Followed the instruction video on your website. It was accurate and valid. The repair should have taken 15 mins., instead one of the screws holding the dispenser was frozen. Tried DW-40, and liquid wrench. Neither worked because the screw was in plastic.Finally got out the Dremel and cutting wheels. Had to cut away enough of the unit until I could get at the screw (it was the center bottom one). Sliced through some more of the housing, then cut a notch in the screw head deep enough so I could apply enough pressure with a flat blade screwdriver to open it. After that things went as smoothly as could be expected.A bad design and cheap materials.

The top right rail, facing the dishwasher, has a self lock tab. Using pliers, straighten the lock tab, insert the cap and then restore the lock tab to it's original position.

Repaired the soap dispenser.
