FGID2466QF8A Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

The new roller just snapped in place.

Just pushed it onto the rod that held the old one

The are 2 tabs on the bottom of the lower spray arm that I pushed in and the arm popped right off. All you have to do is push the new spray arm on until you hear it snap into place, and you are done. It is really easy to do, and the part fit perfectly.

Easy repair .part was perfect. Did have to you tube video to make sure I was doing it correctly. Instructions with part would be helpful.Part arrived quickly without issue!

Watched installation video and followed directions. All went smoothly.

Unscrewed the old ones, new ones come with screw built in and recrewed the new ones in. So easy.

Opened door. Located 2 Phillips head screw s attaching the dishwasher to counter and removed them. Slid the dishwasher out about 8 inches. Love broken cable and removed . Inspect spring and attached new cable. Inspected opposite cable and spring. Tucked insulation around dishwasher and slid back into place. Reattached 2 Phillip screws and closed door.

Followed the on-line tutorial. BINGO!!!!

Opened the package and inspected the new spring
Went to Part Select site to read directions
shut off the power
Reached under the dishwasher and disconnected the old spring from the frame
detached the old spring from the pulley cord
attached the new spring to the pulley cord
reached under the dishwasher and attached the new spring to the frame
Turned the power back on
total time around 15 minutes including reading the instructions
Piece of cake!

Instead of moving the unit out from under the counter, I did the job with the unit in place: (1) long reach to remove the old springs and attach the new ones to the frame at back of the unit, (2) use a loop of string to hook onto the other end of the spring, stretch it a little, and keep it stretched by hooking the other end of the loop to the screw that adjusts the unit's height, (3) slip the end of the cable to the front end of the spring and check to make sure that the cable is on its pulley, (4) take the string off the adjusting screw and wiggle it to free it from the end of the spring. (For comfort, lie down on a yoga mat when you do this job - thanks to my wife for this helpful suggestion!)

Just pulled the old gasket out and popped in the new. I did trim it too shrt however so be careful not to do that.

All you have to do power down the unit, then disconnect the power connections at the element and remove the old nuts and replace them with the new ones and tighten. Don't tighten too much, the element has a rubber seal that just needs the nut to snug it up.

I followed the steps on YouTube.

NOTE: I am a complete amateur, and had NEVER attempted to work on my own appliances before this. Diagnosis via web search determined that the drain pump was the most likely problem. PartSelect.com had the best prices and, as it turned out, the fastest delivery. I shut off the power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker and turned off the water supply under the kitchen sink. I took all of the removable parts out of the dishwasher (lower rack, spray arm, strainer), and using a shop-vac, I emptied the water that had pooled at the bottom of the dishwasher. I removed the kickplate (2 screws) to disconnect the water line (pliers) and the drain hose clamp (flat screwdriver). Both of these had some water in them, so I used one of a few shop towels that I had handy to keep things dry. Opening the dishwasher gave me access to the screws that anchor the unit to the countertop, which I removed (phillips screwdriver). Loosening the adjustable feet and gently rocking the dishwasher dislodged it to the point where I could remove it, but not before laying cardboard down to protect the kitchen floor. Once removed, I flipped the unit over and disconnected the old drain pump's electrical leads, noting which one went where. Three star-shaped screws held the drain pump in place - one of which was difficult to get to, due to the size of my driver and the location of the main motor. I removed/replaced the pump, connected the electrical leads, flipped the dishwasher upright, and slid it back under the countertop. I re-extended the adjustable feet and made sure everything was level front-to-back and side-to-side before securing the two screws through the tabs into the countertop. Under the unit, I reconnected the water line, turned the supply back on, and checked for leaks. I reconnected the drain hose and then turned the power back on at the circuit breaker. I did a quick test run of the unit and not only did it drain properly, but there were no visible leaks. I will reinstall the kickplate in a week or so, after I can run a couple loads of dishes and ensure that there are no issues under the unit. With a small amount of web searching, some great help from the PartSelect crew, and a bit of fortitude, I saved hundreds of dollars and have a far better understanding of how my dishwasher works. That's a win-win in my book!!
