CDB350NB4A Crosley Dishwasher - Instructions

After getting a totally incorrect length of hose from partselect.com . Went to local hardware store and bought hose for $3.00 vs $20.99 + $10 shipping!
Partselect sent replacement hose of 24 1/4” vs the original hose of 27”. Good luck getting any response from them once they have your money!

Well, I actually was unable to make a repair.
Initially I inspected the door gasket and it appeared to be hardened, so i thought a new gasket would fix the problem.
I ordered new gaskets and went back to make the repair. Well, as I was removing the door gasket, I noticed the door bottom had been damaged and was deformed beyond repair, which was the real reason it was leaking.,

There were 4 zip ties holding old silverware basket on to bottom rack snip them, remove basket install new basket with zip ties both ends 2 more in middle about 1-2” apart. Try to install ties about 1/2 way up on basket so it doesn’t get top heavy.

Pulled the dishwasher out, rolled it onto its right side, removed the old pump by removing the 2 electeical connectors and 3 #20 torque screws, and replaced the pump. The most annoying thing was it dumping water on the floor. The rest was relatively easy.

Isolated the leak and found the nut had split thereby allowing a loose seal and water penetration. Ordered 2 nuts just in case the other goes and the installation was easy. Unplug the unit, remove baseplate, remove screws under the countertop, and slide the unit out a bit. Use needlenode pliers to remove terminal connection and replaced nut. Reverse it for assembly. 3 minutes tops $6 later it is done. Easy money saved by a DIY.

While trouble shooting the issue, noticed that all switches worked and there was sufficient power going to control board but still nothing working. Ordered new control board and with only a Phillip's head screwdriver, I was able to remove cover and control board to replace. DW works like new after the repair.

Repair man gave indication that it would cost 2-300 dollars to fix!! We looked into new and found your site. Decided to try it!! Glad we did!! Easy fix for less than $200 and it works!!! Thank you!!!

Found the base was not snapped in. Fixed that by simply pushing down on it and turning until it snapped in place. Ordered a new spray arm when it came in just snapped in literally took less than a minute. Fixed for less than $30 Can't imagine what a repairman would have charged.

Excuse me, as I do not know all the correct nomenclature, but I hope you get what I am saying. The new spray arm would not thread on to my dishwasher water supply coming out of the top of the box. Every time I would try, the supply line would push back up into the housing. Probably need to fix that too, but then I would have to uninstall the DW and just don't have time for that. My old part would thread right on, no problem, but the connection holding it all together was wore out. So I took the new arm and the old "nut" and put them together. They threaded right on, I pulled down on the arm and it is secure. So I had to Frankenstein it a little, but my DW is working, I didn't have to tear it apart and reinstall it, and I didn't have to replace it. Win Win!

Just unscrew the sprayer top, which Is 3 pieces, but should be one. Take new part, which all 3 pieces come as one piece, screw to the inside top of dishwasher and all done.

The first sensible thing to do is to find the circuit breaker for your dishwasher and switch it off so as not to short anything (or yourself) out. Next, remove the lower piece of metal bracket from beneath the door by unfastening the two sheet metal screws (a nut driver or a screwdriver will do the job), taking note as to how it comes off so as to facilitate replacement. Some will recommend loosening the screws at the top from beneath the counter and pulling the machine forward a bit to gain access to the sides but, if you have a small enough hand (as I do), you can just reach in there and and hook the spring into place. I didn't want to risk loosening any plumbing! You'll need a flashlight to see where the ends connect. And, if one spring is still intact, you can reference that to reassure yourself you've got it right. I was able to stretch the spring out by hand and hook the thing to that little plastic gadget that pivots when you open the door. That's it! Button her up! You're done!

I recently bought a vacation home in New Hampshire, and had a very detailed home inspection performed. The dishwasher unit was checked out to be in fine shape. Before moving in, I had all the hardwood floors refinished, including the kitchen, and everything looked great. After moving in and using the dishwasher twice, it developed a major leak coming from the bottom of the unit. "Here goes more money that I don't have, to hire an appliance repairman to fix this leak!" I decided to take the bottom kick panel off the dishwasher to see where the leak was coming from. It was coming from the the connection of the heater element at the bottom of the dishwasher. I found a brass nut had been cracked and wouldn't stay tight any more. I ordered the replacement nut from Partselect, RECEIVED IT THE NEXT DAY!!!!! using regular ground shipping, and installed the new nut using a socket set, and tested the unit. No more leaks!! Partselect saved me at least $150.00 on a service call for a $3.50 part. I'm not the handiest guy around, but even this was easy!
I also scored big points with the wife on my handyman repair! Thanks Partselect!

I removed the three screws that held the stem assembly in place, removed the old stem assembly and replaced it with the new one. Replaced the screws and began using the dishwasher again.

It was a snap. Just pulled the spray arm out, un-snapped it from its holder, snapped the new one in and inserted it back into the dishwasher. Saved $$$ doing it myself.

First I pulled out the old gasket and replaced with the new one. The new one is too long on purpose but only had to be trimmed a little for a perfect fit. Very easy and now no leaks.
