TDB210RFS5 Tappan Dishwasher - Instructions

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.

After watching the video the replacement went very easy. The only thing I would suggest is that you replace both springs to equalize the tension.

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

Removed old gaskets, cleaned area with rubbing alcohol and installed new gaskets. I let it sit for an hour and ran a load of dishes. No leaks, very easy fix.

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.

Snapped the new one onto the center drive hub by hand.

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.

I the video, exactly!

Open the door took out bottom rack and slid the new gasket in very easy

The new tub gasket just sits right into the grove around the tub. Just press it in (grooved side to the back) all the way around several times and you are good to go. The bottom gasket is hard to see. You have to open the door all the way down and on the inside bottom of the door you will see the outer edge of the gasket going across the lenght of the door. Simply slide it out making note of where the notch in the gasket is located. Slide the new gasket into place (won't go in if notch is on the wrong side) and you are good to go. No tools were required for installing either gasket.

We have wood floors and in front of the dishwasher our wood floor started warping. We noticed it not getting any better so I looked under the dishwasher and could see a drip coming from the inlet valve. We have wood floors and recent granite counter tops so the dishwasher was stuck and had to hack saw the front legs to remove. Afte all that about an hour an half looked for the part and found it on your site for $25. We were going to replace the dishwasher but decided not to spend $700 for replacement. The part got here in 3 days and I was able to replace it very easy watching your video. It's been about a week and no leak and our floor is dry and back to normal. Thank you, Brent.

Fully disconneted dishwasher removing both the water line and the electrical wire. Placed unit on its side and removed the bottom plate holding the motor assembly. Removed both clips of wires attached to the motor. Pulled motor out gently and then replaced with new motor assembly then performed everything in reverse to put it all back in place. Was going to initially replace just the gaskets (there are 3 total). It was $10 more to just replace the whole thing. I saved the old motor just in case its needed later for whatever reason.

The new spring I installed according to the video. It had a smaller diameter than the original so did not work well but when I left the old springs on the door and added the new ones so now I have two springs on each side I had a great improvement. Now the door does not fall open and hit me in the shins. If the replacement spring had the same diameter and therefore the same strength as the original that would have been even better

I was easy. I followed the instructions on the paper.
