FGIP2468UD0A Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

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!

Unscrew the old spray arm, screw on new spray arm. That’s it. Simple.

This was so easy. First I removed the upper rack by removing the end caps on the rails. You just pull down on the rear part of each cap which unsnaps it and allows it to come off. The rack can then be removed. Turn it upside down and twist the large round disc to release the spray arm. Then it’s only a matter of unsnapping the part from the rack and snapping the new one in place. Then reverse your steps to reinstall the spray arm and rack into the dishwasher. This needed to be done since the rubber diaphragm had melted to the grommet even though it did not solve my problem of the spray arm not working. I had to install a new circulation pump which then solved the problem.

I watched the video on the website on how to remove the top rack, and installed the new wheel and bushing. Simplest fix I ever did.

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.

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.

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.

I unscrewed the housing for the spray arm and screwed in the new housing and spray are part. It took less than a minute and works perfectly.

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!

Had to shut electricity off and turn water off and disconnect them both. Take the screws out from underneath the counter. Slide out the unit disconnect the filler tube in the back disconnect the hose and replace and repeat the process to put it back together.

The part wasn't correct and I have to pay postage back which is nearly as much as the part so it's stupid for me to spend more money on a part that want work I want order from your store again.

It took me about 30 minutes to do the repair - took my time and could’ve done it much faster.

Eventually broke off old heating element to get it out

Just snapped the wheels on and attached the bracket to the existing part.

watched a video, really easy fix. Solved the problem!
