SU220NXRD1 Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

I pulled the old door gasket out, cleaned the guck out and pushed the new one in it's place.

Snapped new wheels into place on the axel. New wheels were exactly like the old ones

Never worked on a dishwasher before but quickly learned that on this particular one, it's only this thin little brass nut that tightens down the element from the underside of the washer. If not tight enough, water drips right down onto the electrical connections. In this case water began to drip and the heat from the electrical current began melting a clear rubber shield thing. Luckily I was home during the cycle and figured out the problem. Great website that seems to have all necessary parts for my washer. Quick shipment!

used the pliers to grip the end of the spring, extended it and removed it from the door and frame. The install then followed. It takes longer to remove the front panel than to do the repair.

Snapped the new one in. One second repair - like new.

Removed the "kick plate" (4) screws. the hard part was attaching the springs to the door hooks. you cannot see them, have to go by feel. then stretch them to lower frame. attached the lower door trim piece with three screws.

I removed two screws that hold unit to countertop,
just pulled out unit about two inches. Removed broken door springs. Installed new door springs and pushed unit back into place and installed the 2 countertop screws DONE.

Replaced the gasket

The parts arrived 20 hours after ordering -great service & the parts were just like like the removed parts only new. The old door gasket was pulled from its groove & and the new gasket was installed witout using tools. No more leaking water.The door spring installation wesa bit more difficult. The front bottom was removed with a nut drive, the broken springs were fished out, new springs were pull onto the arms and the cover put back in place. Not a bad job for a crippled, one-eyed 82 year old man.

I ordered a new door gasket and door spring. I unscrewed the two screws that hold the dishwasher in place and pulled it out. I pulled the old broken spring off with pliers and installed the new one ,,,very easy. I then took the new door gasket and soaked it in hot water in the sink for 15 min. That made it very soft and pliable to work with. I used pliers to pull the old gasket out then cleaned the area around the old gasket where crud had built up. I pushed in the new gasket working from top to bottom one side at a time. Turned it on an ran through a cycle and it works perfect now ,,,no leaks.

Both heating element brass nuts had a split in them. They had fallen off the heating element and were hanging on the electrical wires. I removed the wires from the heating element and removed the brass nuts from the wires. I then screwed the new nuts on the heating element and reattached the wires. problem solved. I want to thank you for having the parts I needed as Sears had discontinued them for this Kenmore appliance.

This could not have gone easier! As long as you get the proper parts it's a piece of cake. I wish everything was this easy!

Installed New rollers onto bottom rack. Part order & delivery were top notch from Partselect. Will definitely order from them again.

merely snapped the part on

Fisrt, I opened dishwasher door. I then pulled out the lower rack & put new part in place and pushed in lower rack. Last, I closed dishwasher door.
