FGID2466QF6A Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

Isolated the leak and found the nut had split thereby allowing a loose seal and water penetration. Ordered 2 nuts just in case the other goes and the installation was easy. Unplug the unit, remove baseplate, remove screws under the countertop, and slide the unit out a bit. Use needlenode pliers to remove terminal connection and replaced nut. Reverse it for assembly. 3 minutes tops $6 later it is done. Easy money saved by a DIY.

I used the PartSelect repair video online to show me how to fix the dishwasher. I needed a spray arm and support. Excellent video made the repair quick and easy.

Just unscrew the sprayer top, which Is 3 pieces, but should be one. Take new part, which all 3 pieces come as one piece, screw to the inside top of dishwasher and all done.

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

The repair was not the problem. The problem was getting the parts I ordered. When the parts finally shipped I had to wait for them because they just sat in a FedEx shipping warehouse for about a week delaying the repair.

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

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!

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.

After getting a totally incorrect length of hose from partselect.com . Went to local hardware store and bought hose for $3.00 vs $20.99 + $10 shipping!
Partselect sent replacement hose of 24 1/4” vs the original hose of 27”. Good luck getting any response from them once they have your money!

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

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!

Removed 3 screws, swapped parts - done. Wonderful feeling and saved a service call. Works great.

The bottom spray arm would not turn or fall off the stem assembly, so the dishes would not come clean like usual. The spray arm connects to the stem assembly via two plastic prongs that secure the spray arm. I removed the spray arm from the socket (no tool required) and observed the prongs had worn completely away. I grabbed the power screw driver and removed the assembly (3 screws). I placed the new assembly in place, secured the screws, and attached the spray arm. Finished.
