FDPC4314AB0A Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

First, I unplugged the dishwasher. After removing the under counter mounting screws, I pulled the dishwasher out from the cabinets. Because the switch is hard to reach, I put the dishwasher on its side (very carefully). Make sure to drain the dishwasher first, or it will leak all over your kitchen. To remove the switch, I unscrewed the single black screw in the middle of the switch and unplugged the electrical wires. I put the new switch in its place, screwed in the screw, and plugged in the electrical connection. I set the dishwasher upright, and ran it through a cycle before reinstalling it into the cabinet. I had previously tried replacing the water inlet valve, but that was not the problem.

Purchased new drain pump thinking that was the issue. When I was installing I noticed the drain hose was clogged. Since the way out cabinets were installed by the previous owner getting the dishwasher out is a little more complex so installed the drain pump and drain hose just to make sure. Runs like new!

2 wheels were missing and I replaced them in 2 seconds. The diagram online was a huge help!

There was an excellent "how to" video on the internet which also pointed me to the part I needed. I did not even remove the dishwasher as recommended. I removed the lower kick plate, removed the power connector at the leaking input, removed the bad nut and installed the new nut.

After watching the video the replacement went very easy. The only thing I would suggest is that you replace both springs to equalize the tension.

The left-side dishwasher door spring snapped. The door was then noticeably heavy to open and close. To investigate the problem, I shut off the circuit breaker and the water feed. I removed the two screws that secure the top of the dishwasher to the counter, so I could pull out the unit and see the door springs. (TIP: remove the bottom metal panel as well to see if you have a flexible or rigid pipe for hot water. If you have a rigid pipe like I do you might want to be careful pulling the unit forward.) With the unit pulled forward I could see the snapped spring; it had actually shot up and was wedged between the unit and the cabinet. To to the repair, I attached the new spring to the door first. Then I closed the door so the spring was slack and used pliers to attach it to the bottom of the unit. (To access the bottom of the unit, you need to remove the metal panel at the bottom, as mentioned above.) I used the other spring as a comparison as to where to attach.

The repair went well,however I must comment on parts select. I do most of my work on the net, I have never had a company fill an order and ship the part so quickly I was amazed I had the part 3 days after I placed the order. Thanks

replacing spring is easy.but you have to disconect the water line to slide the washer out to get at the spring.service was exelant. part was deliverd next day.

just pushed it into the crevice with my thumb

Took lower tray assy. Out and took 3 screws out of cover and stem assy. And replaced old with new. Took me about 15 min. Part was perfect match so job was a piece of cake.

Remove old gasket from tub, soak new gasket in hot water for a few minutes then install starting from center top of tub, when done installing close door for 24 hours, then try to see if leak fixed.

Ditto the other comments. Easy, great savings. Perfect. Thank you!
