GDPH4525AF0A Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

After looking at several youtube.com remedies, I zeroed in on the problem... non-functioning waste water pump. I also noted that the valve flapper was in rough shape so ordered both. Once I got the new parts, I replaced the old ones in less than 30 minutes. When I removed the old pump assembly, I discovered that the four-blade waste water wheel had broken off. For about $75, I repaired what no one in my small rural town could. I think the retail on the dishwasher was somewhere between $300-350, so I figured it was a good deal. Also I scored BIG man points with my wife!

The hose goes from the water inlet solinoid to the side of the dishwasher.Remove the kick plate from the bottom front of the dishwasher. Disconnect the water supply to the inlet of the solinoid valve (copper tubing on mine). Remove the screws under the counter top which hold the dishwasher in place. slide the dishwasher out from under the cabinet only as far as needed to expose the hose(about 1 foot). The hose is behind the insulation. Remove the hose clamps from both ends of the hose(solinoid outlet and side of dishwasher)Remove hose carefully because this is all plastic. Install replacement hose and clamps. The new hose is several inches too short and will not fit into the upper hose guide, just bend it underneath. Be sure to put hose in lower keeper on side of dishwasher. Attach clamps, tape insulation back in place, slide dishwasher back under counter and install screws under counter. Attach copper tubing to water inlet solinoid valve. Run dishwasher and check for leaks. Replace kick plate. Note: I had enough loose electrical wire to slide my dishwasher out. If you don't have enough wire to slide out the dishwasher you should call a repair man.

Open door, remove 2 screws from underside of countertop. Close door, remove screws from bottom kick panel,( 2 piece, set aside). Slide dishwasher out, to gain access to left side. (disconnect water line, drain line, and power, if not enough slack). Carefully remove 2 wire clips from discharge pump (located directly behind main motor). Remove screws (3) from pump housing. carefully pull out old pump. Check and clean pump mounting area. Push new pump into opening, do not force. turn to line up screw holes, insert screws, and tighten. install wire clips as removed ( white on left) . If needed, reinstall water line, drain line, and power. Slide dishwasher back into opening. Run a rinse cycle, and check for leaks. If good, install screws into countertop, and install kick panel.

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!

Removed dishwasher from under the counter. Tipped it onto the door to access the motor. The Bracket requires the use of a torque bit in the screwdriver. Removed the bradket and pulled out the motor. Replaced the O-rings and put on a new bracket. Reinstalled the dishwasher, but it still is leaking. Removed dishwasher and motor again. After a more thorough inspection, I noticed that the motor itself is leading through a weep hole inside the casing. The hole is located between the bracket and the dishwasher housing so it makes it appear to leak around the O-ring. Be sure to check the weep hole in the motor itself.

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.

We ordered a replacement spray arm, and thought we had received the wrong part, because it would not screw onto the tubing that come down from the top of the dishwasher. Called and did some troubleshooting with a customer service rep and ordered two more parts (gasket and grommet) that we thought might be necessary. They did not help. Called back in frustration and finally the person on the other end found a comment in someone else's instructions about holding the delivery tube still with a putty knife while screwing on the spray arm assembly. We followed that advice, and got the spray arm on. Actual time to put the new part on once we figured out the problem: less than 10 minutes. Time spent troubleshooting: over 2 hours.

removed all strainer and filter parts and soaked them in lime remover for several hours until clean. then,I rein stalled all the parts including the new filter screen.
