FFBD2404NW4A Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

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

Most of the time is spent cleaning out under the sink, turning off water valves, disconnecting hoses and collecting water. One valve did leak when closed. Then pull out the dishwasher from under the counter, unplug and lay flat on floor.
Disconnect power from pump. Remove 2 screws and bracket that holds pump in place, gentle twist and pull out pump. Place tow gaskets around pump. Wet gaskets and gently push pump in place be sure to line it up so bracket goes back in place. Tighten screws, put hoses back in place, push dishwasher back, connect hoses, open valves, check for leaks then run the dishwasher and check operation of pump. I recommend viewing replacement on part select youtube video to determine if you can make the repair.

First point of leakage was the door. Turns out that a gasket at the bottom of the door functions as a wave trap. As the bottom sprayer spins it sprays against the door and creates a small wave of water this gasket was starting to disintegrate, it was letting water surge over the small tray at the doors bottom. Easy to replace just pull down and remove press fit on inside door bottom. Only when this was replaced did I find the real leak but not until I guessed at the tub seal as the leak. Very hard to see where the water really comes from! Turns out it was not the tub seal but a clip that holds the heater element got smashed down from a dropped dish rack at some earlier time and this caused the heat to increase at the clip and eventually heat the clip to extent it melted the tub directly under it. JB Weld to the rescue and we have a waterproof tub again. Well almost! The tub gasket resisted my best efforts to seat correctly and thus required a new tub gasket, still hard to seat but after 2-3 attempts we have a winner. Total cost about 50 bucks vs. 6-700 for a new unit. Wife is happy!!

Pulled old gasket off with small hook. Replaced new gasket by pressing in with my fingers.

Replaced upper wash blade and used screwdriver to pop off rail stops to slide rack all the way out to exchange

After moving the dishwasher out from the cabinetry, I removed the screws holding the pump in place. Pulling the pump from the formed plastic opening, I found a toothpick lodged in the pump housing. At the same time I noticed that the front o-ring was deformed due to being the incorrect size (too large). It was installed at the factory this way.

I went online to search for new parts. PartSelect was the second or third listing on the search page. I submitted the dishwasher model number and was taken to a set of parts illustrations. I was easily able to find the o-rings I needed.

I read the instructions that others had posted and completed the repair in less than 5 minutes!

It was super simple. I popped the clips that were holding the old spray arm on and then popped the new one in place.

Replacing the part was easy. Just pop the old one out and pop the new one in. This item fixed my leaking door problem. The old arm had fallen against the heating element, which burned a hole through the end. Water was shooting out that hole and leaking under the bottom door seal. Replacing the door seal did not help, but replacing the arm fixed the leak.

Took out the two retaining screws and pulled the unit forward. Took the old door strike out and put in the new one. This site is where I go for all my appliance repair parts!!!

Pulled the old one off and pressed the new one on (plastic clips hold it on). Dishes much cleaner now.

The old gasket was worn. I pulled out the old one, put in the new gasket. I trimmed the ends to fit and that was it.

Pulled off the old gasket and replaced it the same way with the new one.

Removed all sealer and install new one as instructed.

While trouble shooting the issue, noticed that all switches worked and there was sufficient power going to control board but still nothing working. Ordered new control board and with only a Phillip's head screwdriver, I was able to remove cover and control board to replace. DW works like new after the repair.
