FGBD2445NB0A Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

Replace the latch. Got to cut off old latch, trim wires, install latch, and put on the dishwasher door cover back on with screws

Watched your video repair was easy.

Removed 6 screws from door front panel. Removed two wiring connectors and screws fromdoor latch Replaced and all is great

Disconnected power, water, and drain tube from dishwasher. Pulled dishwasher out and laid it on right side. It was not necessary to remove the pump motor. When disconnecting the water line, it is better to remove 3/8 line from the appliance adapter rather that the appliance adapter from the dishwasher as the nylon connection tends to strip.

For some strange reason my new dishwasher was installed without a door gasket, which caused a very small water leak. The gasket I purchased was installed in less than 5 minutes and corrected the problem immediately - a very easy task and I am no handyman!

Easy

First I removed the two screws that hold the dishwasher in place, I pulled out the dishwasher and on the bottom right located the leak. The two brass nuts that hold the heating element in place. The wires had been rusted to the element so I cut the wires (and later spliced them back together) and unscrewed the brass nuts. I ordered the part after finding them very easily on partselect.com and 2 days later screwed them back on to the dishwasher. Spliced the wires back together and put the dishwasher back in place.

Easy Fix.

If you are getting intermittent leaks especially when you put a pot lid up front, it’s probably just the door gasket. And this was the easiest project I’ve tackled as a homeowner since buying the place 20 years ago. I read the other stories and I think the suggestion I choose to follow is not the best thing to do. So, read passed where I cut the gasket. I used needle nose pliers to grab the bottom edge of the old gasket which then pulled out by hand with almost no effort. I used the old gasket to measure the new gasket as recommended in one of the other stories, and cut it. DON"T DO THIS. The gasket is very soft foam rubber. As you push it in (I just used my fingers), it will get longer as you push it in. I put it in the first time (took about a minute if that long) and even though I cut it to the same length as the old one, it was too long. Obviously I figured I did something wrong. So, I took it out and measured it again. Nope, same-same. So, I put in a second time, careful not to stretch it, and this time it was now too short. So, I recommend that you just establish the bottom edge 90 degree angle seat and try not to stretch it as you work your way around the seam. It should fit just find, maybe with a little adjustment back or forth, but without cutting it at all. By the way, the half inch I cut off at the recommendation of one of the other reviews did not ruin it. It works just fine. So you can cut it if you want I suppose. But that half inch I cut off was what I was short when I was carful not to stretch it.

We ordered new upper and lower racks from PartsSelect. We returned the parts. Best part of our order was the help PartsSelect gave us to assist in the return. Everything we needed was included in the order. Our money was refunded immediately. Good company.

Pump motor kit changing the pump went good little tough to get the old one out And the new one went in a little tough really had to push hard to get it in but it works great took longer to take out the dishwasher and put it back in instead of changing the actual part

removed the screws holding the door together, then removed the screws holding the dispenser to the interior door. replaced the wires and put the door back together

It only took about 20 minutes to replace. Thanks for the video.

The Inlet valve was leaking. I removed the old valve in less than 30 min.Note: need bright flashlight! It could have been quicker but I had to lie on the floor and squeeze my big hands under the opening (kick panel). Once I got the two small bolts out, I was able to manipulate the valve out from under the dishwasher, then I carefully removed the two lines. I received the part in 5 days and installed it in 45 minutes. It could have been a faster installation, however I was not about to pull out the whole dishwasher. Again, I was able to manipulate the new valve back in & tighten then test everything.(note: need a bright flashlight to see underneath) I immediately ran a load of dishes and Presto! No leaks and runs like a Swiss watch!

Seriously very easy. Took screws from side of door on inside of washer, silver cover plate came off and was simple to replace the latch using torque screwdriver and phillips screwdriver.

Latch broke. and it wouldn't run without locking. As a trucker's wife it's up to me to fix whatever breaks or do without. I took apart the door, noticed the model number, and ordered the part. it was easy., it was harder to go thru Thanksgiving and wash dishes by hand.
