FDPH4316AD Electrolux 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!

So easy it shouldn't even count as a repair, really. The dishwasher, there when I bought the place, had a lower rack that wouldn't roll out as it should. That's because there were no wheels on the left side.

The rack lifts out easily. These wheels snap on to small protrusions from the wire rack.

merely snapped the part on

After removing the 4 torx head screws the cover and stem assembly was removed. The new piece was installed and screws were tightened. That is all it was to it. A very simple repair! Thanks.

Had a leak, due to the factory gasket was 1/2 " to short. Pulled out old one, installed new one, and trimed to fit. Took less the 5 minutes.

Orderd new gasket which arrived extremely fast, old gasket just pulls out , installed new one same direction as the old gasket fit, stopped leak. Thanks!

removed old gasket by hand, installed new gasket with hands only. p.s. great doing business with you,thanks.

Both heating element brass nuts had a split in them. They had fallen off the heating element and were hanging on the electrical wires. I removed the wires from the heating element and removed the brass nuts from the wires. I then screwed the new nuts on the heating element and reattached the wires. problem solved. I want to thank you for having the parts I needed as Sears had discontinued them for this Kenmore appliance.

Installed New rollers onto bottom rack. Part order & delivery were top notch from Partselect. Will definitely order from them again.

This could not have gone easier! As long as you get the proper parts it's a piece of cake. I wish everything was this easy!

Fisrt, I opened dishwasher door. I then pulled out the lower rack & put new part in place and pushed in lower rack. Last, I closed dishwasher door.

My Son used needle nose pliers to remover the old gasket, then starting on the lower right side, inserted the new gasket and used the rounded end of handle of a wooden spoon and pressed the gaste in place by running the handle up and around the top then down the left side. Used sissors to cut the new gasket to length. Door fit very tight. Ran a normal wash cycle and no leaks.

Rollers just snapped on the diswasher rack. Took just seconds to do.

just replace

I woke up on Christmas Day to water pooling under the kitchen sink (I guess I made the naughty list last year). Upon inspection, I could see that the water connections for the faucet were damp. Since I had all the parts, I replaced the faucet and service lines. Once complete, there were no leaks so I turned on the dishwasher to double check for leaks in those lines. It was all dry when the dishwasher finished but the next morning, more water under the sink.
I proceeded to replace the water line to the dishwasher and ran it through another wash cycle. Still leaking.
I found PartsSelect online and order a new drain line for the dishwasher. To my amazement, FedEx dropped off my order the next morning........yes, the next morning.
It took five minutes to remove the old drain line and install the new one (just a worm clamp at each end). It would have been faster than that but I don't get up and down as fast as I use to.
