FGIP2468UF3A Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

I measured the length of the gasket, using the old one to measure the length. Cut it to that length and installed it. VERY SIMPLE TO DO! But it didn't stop my leak--turns out there was a small leak in the bottom of the tub that was easily fixed with some silicone. The dishwasher's like new now!

Excuse me, as I do not know all the correct nomenclature, but I hope you get what I am saying. The new spray arm would not thread on to my dishwasher water supply coming out of the top of the box. Every time I would try, the supply line would push back up into the housing. Probably need to fix that too, but then I would have to uninstall the DW and just don't have time for that. My old part would thread right on, no problem, but the connection holding it all together was wore out. So I took the new arm and the old "nut" and put them together. They threaded right on, I pulled down on the arm and it is secure. So I had to Frankenstein it a little, but my DW is working, I didn't have to tear it apart and reinstall it, and I didn't have to replace it. Win Win!

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

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!

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.

replaced works better one way than other wheels fall in door slot

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

Removed bottom cover , PLACED TAPE ON SHARP EDGES OF ALL METAL!!!!!!! Pulled electrical connections off with long reach pliers , removed old split nut ,it was loose !!!!!! .

Reattached wires with long pliers, Tested on short cycle and nooooo,leaks !!!!!!!! SAVED HUNDREDS OF $$$$$$$. Replaced lower cover .ITS NOT ROCKET SCIENCES. GET AFTER IT !!!!! Bill.

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.

Just take the door apart remove the latch

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.

Inserted springs into corresponding holes.

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.
