FGCD2444SA3A Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

Slid the rack out, removed the end pieces holding top rack in the sliding arms. Removed the spray arm. It was stiff & a bit hard to get off, but with a little careful prying it came off. Put that spray arm assembly back onto the new rack, slid the new rack back in place, put the end pieces back on and in less than 15 minutes, we were done. Part came in very quickly, I might add. I feel like I have a brand new dishwasher.

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

just slid the wheel on.

Just watch installation video. Finished repair in abut 30 minutes. Honestly, great service and fast delivery from this company. Please add the contact info to your favorites

Block and remove water hookup and drain hose. Ensure drain port on garbage disposer has a plug in it while drain hose is disconnected to ensure sink water does not find its way inside the cabinet. Place dishwasher with door facing floor. Remove electrical plug and pump retainer. Slide out pump. To replace pump reverse steps.

Remover the cracked heating element with the new heating element.

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!!

Checked your videos and found the lower spray arm damaged (nubs worn down). Previous owner had some work done and didn't reinstall the parts properly. While during the repair, I also decided to replace the Detergent Dispenser and make a new spray shield. I guess the previous owner decided one wasn't needed.

Easy install, no noise.

Replaced lower arm

I pulled out the dishwasher and found the inlet tubing had a tear in the accordion part of the tube. I searched online for the model number and was directed to PartSelect. I ordered the inlet tubing, and it only took a few days to get to me. I then watched the video and was able to install the new tubing.

PartSelect is a life saver and I saved lots of money by not having to call a repairman.

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.

Ordered a new upper rack, My husband installed in less than 10 mins. Good to go. 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!!!!
