ZBD6880K10SS General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

Middle arm bearing used a pair of pliers to unscrew the screw and to re-screw with new bearing in place. NO did not have to disconnect the arm. Lower arm turn counter clockwise to remove (comes off very easy) stick needle nose straight down opening and remove bearing. Use needle nose to place new bearing.

Quick and easy fix, put them right on. The axel was different than original but the new design was easier.

NOTE I have classified this is a DIFFICULT JOB, but NOT because of the mechanics involved [including the electrical connectors UN-plugging and re-plugging, BUT DUE to the ANALYSIS you need to do to determine whether the SOAP DISH PART or the CONTROLLER is at fault. And this ANALYSIS will probably require you to get into the DISHWASHER DOOR twice. Once to do the analysis and then again to replace whatever part you target. Being you will want to continue to use the DISHWASHER by manually dropping the soap door [or just soap] at the appropriate time in the cycle, while awaiting the new part, which means you have re-button up the door and take it apart again when the new part arrives. . Before starting, view PartSelect's VIDEO on replacing the SOAP DISPENSER, but ignore THE STEPS OF REMOVING AND REPLACING THE SOAP DISPENSER.PART, at this time. The analysis starts with MANUALLY trying to activate the mechanical soap door release on the back of the mounted SOAP DISPENSER, with the soap door closed. It should take only ounces of downward pressure [towards the door hinge] on the vertical plastic piece in a channel near the center of the dispenser, to release the soap door. Next if you have access to an OHM METER {or MULTIMETER} or a DC POWER SUPPLY [to test the the activation of the door release] pull the two connectors on the SOAP DISH SOLENOID [a set pointed pliers will be helpful, as outlined in the VIDEO]. If measuring the SOLENOID's resistance it should read roughly 1800 OHMS. If using a DC POWER SUPPLY, you will probably need at least 25 volts DC to trigger the SOLENOID [NOTE I do not have a variable DC POWER SUPPLY to check it out nor do I know the voltage that the DISHWASHER uses]. Do not bother to measure the resistance of CONTROLLER's driving circuitry [the two wires having connectors], as it will read INFINITY, regardless of whether GOOD or BAD, The CONTROLLER apparently uses a RELAY on this circuit, as opposed to some kind of solid state switch. Replug the SOLENOID connectors. Re-buttoned up the DISHWASHER as shown in the VIDEO, assuming you are going to continue using it If you determine no problems in the above tests, then consider it a CONTROLLER pro0blem and you will need to order one. Otherwise you should have found indications of a SOAP DISPENSER PROBLEM. . When the replacement part arrives and you ready to install it, refer again to PartSelect's VIDEO on replacing the Soap Dish Dispenser for a refresher Following the VIDEO completely, if you replacing the DISPENSER. If you are replacing the CONTROLLER, once inside the DOOR, you will need to remove around 6 individual electrical connectors [before doing ANYTHING REMOVE POWER from the DISHWASHER [as instructed in the VIDEO}. These connectors [all but any single wire connectors] are designed to be plugged only one specific way, so when re-plugging NEVER FORCE a connection, The best way to make sure you do not get confused, take a picture of all the connectors -OR- make notes on the looks and orientation of each multi-wire connector. There is one mounting screw on right side of the CONTROLLER. When installing the new CONTROLLER there are mounting EARS on the left side that are first engaged by having the CONTROLLER tilted up on the right side. Replace the mounting screw. Replugged all the connectors using whatever guide you made. Proceed to put the DOOR back together as outlined in the VIDEO.

The axels and wheels slid on perfectly, just like brand new! So fast and easy!!

I sopped up all the water in there and pulled out the lower rack, then disconnected the electricity and water pipe and drain hose. Then I unscrewed the front kick plate/cover and removed that. Then I unscrewed two screws at top of unit from the counter top, and pulled the unit out. It is surprisingly light weight. I rolled it over on its right side, and took off the short drain hose where the flapper is, and pulled the old one off and put the new one on and reversed the procedure to reinstall. It was very easy to fix, especially with your Youtube video! THANKS

Removed remaining old wheels and axles and snapped on the new. They fit perfectly.

The sight was not helpful. It had a suggested wheel that was listed twice. Then there was an axle listed. It is not an axle, it is an insert in the wheel that reduces the size of the hole so it fits on the prong from the rack. Then it locks on the rack keeping the wheel from coming off. When I called the "800" number the clerk had no idea how the whole thing worked. He told me to call ge. I did and ordered directly from them. Got both parts and they work perfectly

After reading other customer responses I decided to attempt the repair myself. After pulling out dishwasher I turned it on it's side and prodeeded to remove the 3 screws holding it in place. FIFTEEN minutes later I pushed it back into position and it has performed like new for the past month. Comparing parts and service I saved about $200.00 on this self repair. I would not hesitate to undertake another repair after my experience.

unsnapped broken axle then popped new axle onto wheel and finally placed axle onto spoke of bottom rack

order arrive very early than expected, took 10 mints to install . great service knowledgeable technician extremely polite and helpful never had this good feeling before ,specially local sears parts store never go back there again. keep up good work.

Used needle nose pliers to get them off.G

Just removed the prior rack and put the new one in. Much improved design on the wheels and rack seems of better material as well. The rack does not have as many holders as the prior rack dishes and pans do not fit as well.

Removed two pieces on bottom, pulled dishwasher out changed a cable and put it all back together! It was a little plastic piece that broke! Thank you for you quick response! Ordered one day came two days later! Great service!

Removed the wheels, replaced the axles and snapped them back in. Very easy.

Ordered new and they fit right in. No problems.
