PLD4555RFC1 Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

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.

Followed the instructions given on the video, for replacing the drain pump. I did not pull the unit all the way out of the counter space just pulled it out about a foot. I had to lie on the floor to change the pump. That cost me some time for removal and installation, but I did not have to disconnect any water or electrical lines. I did unplug the power. The exchange went smoothly accept for the one spring clamp. Hard to squeeze and slip on. Would have been better to use a different kind of clamp. I have arthritis so that was an issue. All in all a good experience. A Big Thank You !! to this site . There instructions were perfect, the site is very user friendly. They saved me the cost of hiring a repair person. I'm a 75 yr. old disabled female, if I can do it then you surely can.

Completly disconnected and layed dishwasher on its side for better access. New valve support was 1 inch longer than original but created no problem. it took no more than 30 min. to complete job.

The drain pump was making a high pitched buzzing noise which told us that its days were numbered. When I ordered the pump I found out that the dishwasher was really made by Electrolux for Whirlpool. Taking the pump off was a simple matter of removing two hose clamps and prying the pump off the frame. The hard part was realizing that it just pulled off without damaging anything. The new pump easily slipped right in and the screw in hose clamp was easily installed. However, the hose clamp that required pinching with the pliers was not that easy. I had to use a screwdriver to push it all the way on while holding the clamp open with the pliers. All in all pretty easy.

Arm screwed on and immediately fixed the problem.

Removed screws for door panel, then literally 2 screws to change out the latch!!

Unplug dishwasher. Open the door. Remove two Phillips head screws holding the door panel on. Slide door panel down and out to remove. With door still open, remove the six T20 torque screws that hold the control panel. Behind the control is the latch assembly. Take a picture of the wires going into the latch assembly for installation reference(mine was black wires on left and white wires on right). Unplug the two sets of wires. Remove two T20 torque screws that hold the latch. Replace with new latch and reverse steps for installation.

You tube video and it was so easy less than 20min had it fix

the remove was very easy just with pliers and a screw drive I was able to remove the pump. Make sure the electric is off!

Took the old out and placed the new in its place. That simple!

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!

Remove kick plate. Pump is right up front. Disconnect the two wire from the pump. MAKE sure u have removed all water from dishwasher! There will be a little left in the pump but nothing to worry about. Next on the top of the pump there is a hose clamp. Loosen it and remove the hose. Now use pliers to slide the hose clamp off the lower hose that hooks to the dishwaher. Use a flat head screw driver to push the tabs on the white clip over and pull off the pump. Now just do this in the reverse order. Approx time: 10 minutes

I located the vent assy. on the top of the tub. I un plugged the wires from the harness. I undid the large nut form inside the tub at the top. Removed the vent assy. Put the new one in it's place. And it works perfectly and I saved over $250 doing it myself.

Had trouble installing the new gasket at first. Fell inside the door, and would not stay in the groove intended for it. After watching the video on your website, learned is best to angle the gasket and work in slowly to the groove from one side. Much easier then

pulled dishwasher out of cabinets and replaced the vent assembly and wiring harness for vent, this was a simple replacement. after the dishwasher is out of the cabinets, unscrew the nut on the inside of the top of the tub and the vent assembly is on the outside of the tub, disconnect the wiring harness from under the bottom and reverse to install new one
