FDS252RBS2 Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

Removed the screws on the inside of the door gaining access to the handle assembly. Lifted broken assembly out, inserted and secured the new handle assembly according to the directions.

The part was ordered and received the next day. The entire process was extremely easy. A repair person would have charged twice the amount of the part plus labor just to come out!!

I unsrewed the old part and screwed the new one in the same way the old one was in.
piece of cake. anyone could do it!

Just pulled the old gasket out and popped in the new. I did trim it too shrt however so be careful not to do that.

Removed six philip head screws to remove upper half of the dishwasher door unit to access handle, then remove handle by remove two star screws and for wires connectors. Installed in reverse.

Note:
I was very impressed on how quick I received the part after it was ordered.

Removed the rack out of dishwasher. Removed sprayer by removing 4 screws. Removed cover to pump propeller assy.by just lifting up on the cover. Then you remove 4 screws from the pump cover. Remove the propeller. Pull up on shaft and seal. Then when you replace everything just reverse the directions.

The repair was pretty straightforward. If somebody is attempting, they should make sure that screws close the bottom part of the door should be opened. You only need to open the top 4 screws.

Simple- Disconnect electric to washer, Remove inner door panel with philips screw driver, disconnect electrical wires watching exactly how they are to be replaced. remove star screws securing handle mechanism. Replace with new handle, connect wiring, replace inner door panel and your all set. Good luck.

I clipped the wheels onto the rack. It couldn't be any easier. then i removed the # 25 torx screw which attached the broken slide wheel to the tub and installed the new wheel with the same torx screw.

It was a walk in the park. Unscrew the six screws in the back of the panel to reach the latch. Unscrew the two torx screws in the front of the latch and replace each of the cables, one by one, in the new latch in the same order. Put the screws back into place in reverse order and... voila, wthout a single shock !!

removed screws holding door panel, turned off electricity,removed old part and installed new dispenser, the dishwasher is back in business. Be sure to use the proper screws when putting back the door panel.The instructions for installation were in the new part assembly.

Thank You for all your help

First dissconnect power, and remove the 6 phillips-head screws from the back/upper side of the door, next remove the 2 torx screws holding the handle assembly, and unplug the 2 micro switches attached to the handle. Reverse this procedure and you're finished. It's so easy, a caveman could do it.

shut off the power on the breaker box, 6 screws inside the door on the tolp and side,pulled 4 wires off, 2 star head screws on the unit. took bad unit off,put new one on and put the screws back in.

5 minutes

Removed the front cover by unscrewing the 8 screws. Removed the latch and attached new one. Re-attached front cover, and it works fine.
The gasket was in fine shape, and I question why I had to purchase the gasket in order to get the latch. Seems crazy and an unecessary expense on my part.

Before starting I disconnected the dishwasher. First I removed the door cover which then exposed the interior part of the door. I then used a star bit on the screwdriver to remove old latch. I disconnected the four wires to the door making sure that I made a point of which wire was connected to what. I then inserted the new latch and reconnected the wiring. Finally, put on the door panel and screwed in the remaining screws. About 15 minutes total work time.

First, I located the dishwasher switch in the circuit breaker and turned it off, so as to kill power to the dishwasher - DO NOT PROCEED WITHOUT DOING THIS FIRST. Unscrewed front panel by removing 6 screws on the inside of the door frame. Then pulled 2 white wires on left and 2 black wires on right off of bottom of latch. Then used hex wrench to remove 2 hex screws holding handle and latch to frame. Then reassembled in reverse order as I disassembled. Note that there was a video on the site when I ordered the part, and it demonstrated all the steps; however, when I received the part and went back to the site to review the video again, it was gone. I'm glad I paid close attention the first time I watched it as it was extremely helpful and showed me exactly how to complete the installation.
