DW8500AWW1 BLK Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

Took the roller out of the package, snapped it into place. Less than 15 seconds. Works good as new.

I looked under and found that 2 brass nuts that secured the heater element through the base housing of the dishwasher has split down each side of the nut and no longer was tight enough to keep water from leaking around either end of the heater element. I powered down the dishwasher at the circuit breaker and then reached under the dishwasher and pulled away the 2 wires that were attached to each side of the heater element. I removed the two nuts and replaced them with the parts I ordered from partselect.com. I then put the appropriate wires back at the end of the heater element and ran the dishwasher to check for leaks. No leaks... it was fixed.

First I noticed that the old gasket had disintergrated along the bottom. Next I removed the the gasket being careful to observe how it was installed. There are these notched areas of the gasket that belong in the lower corners. I think the notches are designed to help hold the gasket in place and make the gasket bend around the corner. The gasket made closing the door very hard at first but after one wash cycle the fit became much more comfortable. The heat probably made the gasket more pliable. Problem solved.

removed the remnants of the old wheels and popped the new ones on....simple

Got to say, I was pretty amazed that I received my order the following day! You guys are wonderful!

Alighned the bracket and pushed in.

Partselect.com was great to deal with, they emailed me information letting me know items were shipping with tracking numbers.

Springs were very easy, just put dishwasher on its side and hook to the holes in the botom of dishwasher!
The door gasket just slid into the grooves that were around the door.
Everything works great now!
Partselect.com was great to deal with

Unplugged dishwasher, removed the 2 wires clipped to the heating element, removed both cracked nuts, replaced with new nuts from PartSelect, clipped on wires, plugged in and did a test cycle. Based upon service quote from Best Buy, I saved myself $125.00 for just the call out, not including parts and labor.

I ordered a new door gasket, wich is not very common for these type of dishwasher anymore, I installed it in less than 15 minutes. I turned the machine on fully loaded and the machine did not leak a single drop. It save me a bundle since I was considering buying a new dishwasher. THANK YOU!!

I turned the power off at the circuit breaker. I then took the access panel off the dishwasher at the bottom. I pulled the wire off the connector. I used a plied to remove the broken washer and replaced with new part. I put everything back in reverse order and ran the dishwasher. I than checked for leaks over two days while the machine was running and everything was fine. Thank you Parts Select for saving me $500!

Very, very easy. Pop off the old wheels and snap the new ones into place on the rack.

Very easy fix, it's the second time I ordered this perticulsr part and it once again prolonged the life of this dishwasher for just a few dollars. The door seal arrived in just a few very short days and was easily installed with no tools in less than 10 minutes. The web site made locating, ordering, and paying for the part needed extremely once again. Thanks

pulled the old gasket out, and pushed the new one into the slot where the old one came out. Very simple repair, and I'm a girl!!

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.

Remove the old gasket simply by pulling it off. I installed the new gasket by starting in one corner and simply pushing the gasket firmly into the groove and working my way around. No tools required. My child could have done it. Problem solved. It takes two or three cycles for the gasket to "break in" and form precisely to the door. Leave the door locked a couple of days to hasten the "break in".

I used the scissors to open the bag the gasket came in. From there it was just seeing how the old, worn gasket was seated in the track around the inside of the dishwasher. Pulling the old one out and snapping the new one in the same way. When I was finished, there was about an inch between the two ends at the bottom where the gasket wasn't quite long enough for them to meet. I was a bit concerned seeing the basin fills with water. So I cut an inch off the best part of the old gasket to fill the space. No leaks! It works great and was so easy to do.
