FGBD2438PB6A Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

Unscrew the old spray arm, screw on new spray arm. That’s it. Simple.

Excuse me, as I do not know all the correct nomenclature, but I hope you get what I am saying. The new spray arm would not thread on to my dishwasher water supply coming out of the top of the box. Every time I would try, the supply line would push back up into the housing. Probably need to fix that too, but then I would have to uninstall the DW and just don't have time for that. My old part would thread right on, no problem, but the connection holding it all together was wore out. So I took the new arm and the old "nut" and put them together. They threaded right on, I pulled down on the arm and it is secure. So I had to Frankenstein it a little, but my DW is working, I didn't have to tear it apart and reinstall it, and I didn't have to replace it. Win Win!

I recently bought a vacation home in New Hampshire, and had a very detailed home inspection performed. The dishwasher unit was checked out to be in fine shape. Before moving in, I had all the hardwood floors refinished, including the kitchen, and everything looked great. After moving in and using the dishwasher twice, it developed a major leak coming from the bottom of the unit. "Here goes more money that I don't have, to hire an appliance repairman to fix this leak!" I decided to take the bottom kick panel off the dishwasher to see where the leak was coming from. It was coming from the the connection of the heater element at the bottom of the dishwasher. I found a brass nut had been cracked and wouldn't stay tight any more. I ordered the replacement nut from Partselect, RECEIVED IT THE NEXT DAY!!!!! using regular ground shipping, and installed the new nut using a socket set, and tested the unit. No more leaks!! Partselect saved me at least $150.00 on a service call for a $3.50 part. I'm not the handiest guy around, but even this was easy!
I also scored big points with the wife on my handyman repair! Thanks Partselect!

It took me about 30 minutes to do the repair - took my time and could’ve done it much faster.

Had to shut electricity off and turn water off and disconnect them both. Take the screws out from underneath the counter. Slide out the unit disconnect the filler tube in the back disconnect the hose and replace and repeat the process to put it back together.

Eventually broke off old heating element to get it out

The part wasn't correct and I have to pay postage back which is nearly as much as the part so it's stupid for me to spend more money on a part that want work I want order from your store again.

Just watch installation video. Finished repair in abut 30 minutes. Honestly, great service and fast delivery from this company. Please add the contact info to your favorites

Block and remove water hookup and drain hose. Ensure drain port on garbage disposer has a plug in it while drain hose is disconnected to ensure sink water does not find its way inside the cabinet. Place dishwasher with door facing floor. Remove electrical plug and pump retainer. Slide out pump. To replace pump reverse steps.

unscrewed and remove the original mount....this is only hand tight. install new spray arm, hand tight only, threads are plastic and could strip if over tightened.

watched a video, really easy fix. Solved the problem!

Used the screwdriver to pry the upper rack left side tine up and out. Slipped the new one into place and pressed hard to seat the tine. this process took all of about 20 seconds to do.

Just snapped the wheels on and attached the bracket to the existing part.

The new arm came preassembled. I unscrewed the old arm base with my hand and screwed the new arm in place. The whole process took less than a minute. The new part was not made the same way. It was better than the original. Must have been a problem from the manufacturer. WORKS GREAT!!!

Just unscrew old one and screw in the new one Very Easy
