FDPC4221AB3A Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

Easiest repair EVER!!! You just pull the old spray arm off (be sure to keep all the smaller pieces that click it into the bottom of dishwasher) and pop the new one in. Done!

Unsnap old and snap on new

Removed the two screws that mount to count top pulled the dishwasher out to see how the spring was attached , installed the new spring and the job was done the job it took about 15 mins. to complete.

Finally we laid in the tub--be sure to support the lid. The grommet could be inserted halfway. Then trying to fold the grommet back we were able to use a screwdriver to force the rest in to place.

I removed the two screws and then moved the dishwasher out a little bit (about 6 inches). I pushed the dishwasher toward one side to make room for me to change the spring with my hand and repeated the same procedure for the other side. After the spring change, I turned an old dishwasher to a new one.

My brother in law installed it for me. There was some difficulty finding the right angle but once we realized we needed to start at the very right side it went well. So far no more leaks.

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!

The original lower spray arm had one end break loose the metal retainer end. I used a temporary small hose clamp to fix as I waited for the new lower arm to arrive.

The design is very easy.... pull up on the OLD and then just push DOWN on the new arm into the bottom.

Watching a YouTube video that was attached to an email, I was able to install my new dishwasher filter in no time without any tools. Thank you.

I removed the bottom drawer and glass trap in order to remove the old melted down washer arm. Once those parts were removed I was able to easily secure the new replacement be ensuring that it was turned enough and fit down securely (side note, if you don't hear the arm click or snap into place, it isn't secure). The part works just fine, but sadly I think I have another problem with my washer, but I will figure it out.

So purchased new arm, trap and lower arm support and put in together correctly. Easy peasy all the parts snapped in place using no tools. I'm a 70 yr old gramma and no problem. Just wish I put it back together correctly the first time and saved myself the money. Never know what you can do until you try. Parts came super fast too.

My dishwasher started leaking at the beginning of the summer. We didn't know what to do, but didn't want to call an appliance repairman. Towards fall, a friend came over and pulled it out and found the heating element brass nut which was broken. We put it back in and washed dishes the old-fashioned way for another 3 months after that. I asked at my local hardware store for the part, and thought about trying one of those big-box do-it-yourself stores but never got around to it. Finally after getting sick and tired of doing all the dishes in the house by hand, I found your site, and the part I needed and ordered two (just-in-case). A few days later, we got the part, I pulled the dishwasher out again, screwed on the new nut by hand and put it back into place. We're in business!

I used the PartSelect repair video online to show me how to fix the dishwasher. I needed a spray arm and support. Excellent video made the repair quick and easy.

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.
