PLD2560LCC1 Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

Watched the video on how to install the new racks. It went perfect. Very happy with our new dish racks.

first shut-off power and water! removed bottom cover panels and top two mount screws from DW. slide DW out about one foot for easier access. disconnect inlet valve wiring harness. then remove the screws that hold the unit to the dishwasher. then disconnect water outlet hose (mine was a black accordian type tubing) use your pliers to move back the clamp. it will take a little bit of twist and pull to get that hose off. next use your adjustable wrench and pliers to unscrew inlet copper tubing from the valve unit. the old valve should now be free from the DW. replace in reverse , remember to use silicon tape. I left the bottom panels off for a couple more days to check for leaks. my wife told me that the first washing after the fix did not really clean the dishes as well , but after that everything was back to normal. so perhaps run the machine empty once?

R & R handle and latch assembly. Had to use handle from old assembly due to the difference in handle size.

easy peasy! received part quickly. 2 days. pop right in. thanks to whoever said to turn arm till it clicks.

Removed old gasket,placed new one on pressing into place.Very quick and easy.Saw the youtube on how to do it.Unfortunately this was not the problem.now have a new dishwasher same brand.

Spotted the source of the leak at the first heating element under the dishwasher. Removed the brass mounting nut and it was cracked. Replaced with new part from PartSelect.com and the leak was fixed. Apparently the heating element gets so hot it tends to crack the mounting nuts, which results in a leak. Delivery time for part said 3-5 days - mine arrived one day after ordered!

Remove the old part and replaced with new. Done

Just like the instruction video. I pulled the old gaskets out, cleaned the gunk that had accumulated and put the new gaskets in. The tub gasket does not require any cutting or stretching. Just make sure it makes the turn at the bottom of the tub so the door seals properly. The door gasket was very simple to replace.

Replaced arm - SO easy!

When I looked at my prospective home for the first time, the current "month to month" renters made sure to tell me EVERYTHING that was wrong with the place. One of those things was that the dishwasher was broken and beyond repair. Upon moving in, my brother in law asked "Did you try turning it on??" We did, it worked and drained...so why was it "broken?" The lower spray arm kept popping out mid cycle, then would get melted on the heating units at the bottom of the unit during the drying process. I easily found and purchased the part from this site. Once it got here, I literally just had to pop it on, no tools, no mess. Fixed!

Cheked supply water line, water there but not getting into machine.Removed screws that hold machine to counter top, lowered adjustable legs and disconnected water line. I turned off power for safety.Pulled machine out about 8 inches to access water valve from the side. disconnect power supply wires, and water discharge hose, remove two screws on valve bracket. Install new valve and reconnect.

Very simple to repair, cleaned the melted plastic from the heater, received the part within 2 days and pushed the new arm into the 2 bracket clamps and it was done. Since this was an older unit they told me the replaceable part number and the price was very reasonable..less then $30 for the whole job!

Pulled out old gasket and replaced with a new one.New gasket snapped right in place in bottom of door,

This not was very easy to install I have to remove the fron panel of the dishwasher to see were to insert the new gasket i you instruction how to instal this was insert the new gasket from the rigth side to the left well if you look the front of the diswasher you insert from the lefth in to the place how hold the gasket inplase was not very esy to install but was don and working OK.

After reading the consumer reviews (which is a great tool by the way), I learned the bottom door gasket came out by pulling inwards toward the center of the dishwasher, NOT to the left or right. I finally found the slot in the door and inserted the new gasket in less than 5 minutes. The reason why I listed a longer repair time is because I started the machine to check for leaks. Unfortunately, I still had a minor leak and I believe it is due to the dishwasher being unlevel. I changed from "Normal Wash" to "EcoWash" and no leaks. Still need to level it. Since the house had been vacant for a long period of time, I think the original gasket may have dry-rotted. Overall, smooth process and great opportunity to learn a little about the simplicity of dishwashers. While your there, you may want to remove the bottom spray arm and clean the debris filters. Pretty disgusting...
