WDB745REB0 Westinghouse Dishwasher - Instructions

I pulled out the dishwasher removed the two heating element insulated wires and removed both threaded brass nuts and replaced them both. Problem solved. Luckily I have a local parts and repair store with a repairman that knows every part of every appliance ever made (no kidding, I have yet to stump him with a part or question). He did not have the parts, told me to go to partselect.com order two nuts, replace them both at the same time, and fix it myself because its an easy repair and not worth paying hundreds of dollars, if you can use a wrench. He was right, and partselect.com had the right parts, at the right price, easy to find and order, and I can impress the wife with my repair skills. Thanks again!

Snapped new wheels into place on the axel. New wheels were exactly like the old ones

We pulled the dishwasher out enough th expose the sides where the springs are attached. We removed the oldsprings and attached the new ones. Then put the dishwasher back in place.

Pull the old one off and install the new one. Took less than one minute and the delivery was great I added your web site to my favorites Thanks Bob

Simply removed onld rack and threw it away. Slid the new rack in and it fit perfectly.

Took off 2 screws and took the old detergent holder off and put the new one on....Very easy...took all of 5 mins

Pulled out rack out and put new rack in. Replacement took less time than opening the box it was delivered in.
I ordered the rack late Wednesday evening and it arrived Friday afternoon. Excellent service!

Took the old one out, put the new one in! Soooooo hard. Lol

I can fix nothing but several people started telling me to order the part. We had a plumber out and he told me what the problem was and said I might have to get a new dishwasher. For $11 I was able to fix it and all I had to do is screw it on

Snapped the new one in. One second repair - like new.

Removed standing water with wet vac. removed kick plate and screws attaching top to underside of counter. pulled unit out and layed it on it's front to gain easy access. unscrewed unit and removed hose clamps with pliers. installed new unit and reveresed order to put all back together. did not appear to want to work at first on full cycle mode. Ran Rinse and Hold cycle and it engauged drain pump first clearing out rest of water then, ran fine. all is working well now.

Turned off water & pulled plug from electrical outlet. Two screws removed the lower cover, two more screws hidden behind the opened door allowed the removal of the bottom panel. Laid a towel under the valve on the lower left to catch water & disconnected the inlet fitting with a 1/2" wrench. Remove the two screws holding water inlet valve next. With valve loose, remove electrical connector and drain hose (pliers). Valve has an elbow fitting that will need to be removed and installed on new valve - use Teflon tape or paste for a leak-free assembly. Reattach the drain hose & electrical connector before installing the valve using the two screws. Once in place, re-attach the inlet fitting (no Teflon required on tapered seats) and make sure everything is tight. Test washer through one cycle for water flow and no leaks. If all is good, remove towel and tools, then re-install the two lower panels. Clean up and you are done!

Never worked on a dishwasher before but quickly learned that on this particular one, it's only this thin little brass nut that tightens down the element from the underside of the washer. If not tight enough, water drips right down onto the electrical connections. In this case water began to drip and the heat from the electrical current began melting a clear rubber shield thing. Luckily I was home during the cycle and figured out the problem. Great website that seems to have all necessary parts for my washer. Quick shipment!

First I pulled out the old gasket, used this to measure for the new gasket, cut to right length, pushed new gasket into the track and washed a load of dishes. No leaks! This took about 2 minutes to complete.

Biggest challenge was understanding where the gasket was located. I took a good look at the parts diagram available on this site, simply opened the dishwasher door, felt around for the old jacket, pulled it out with a nose plier, and inserted the new jacket making sure the orientation was the same as the old jacket. It went in fairly easily, and is a press fit. The dishwasher no longer leaks.
