GDF530PGM0BB General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

All we had to do was order the top and lower racks and put them in. It was way less work and cheaper than having to put in a new dishwasher.

Took old valve assembly off and replaced with new assenbly

just bolted on the new one and hooked up the hose

I got lucky and found the diagnostic test instructions tucked inside the washer under the kick plate. From there I ran the tests on each component until I narrowed it down to the pump. The pump cost me less than local dealers. The install went well. Watched the online videos to make sure I was doing it right. Was actually very easy and saved hundreds over a service call.

Very easy repair. Remove wiring harness that is a simple click. Remove 2 hose clamps. Take off the old pump and install the new one. It is that simple. It is way more work to turn off the water, unscrew the dishwasher from the counter, slide the dishwasher out, turn it on it's side, then have to put it all back in, with the isulation.

The dishwasher had been installed before we added 3/4 oak floor, so I could not pull the dishwasher out from under the counter. That will be a major project when the dishwasher dies.
To remove the door, I removed the two 1/4 " screws on the right and left bottom of the door. I used a box wrench since that was the only way to reach them. One had corroded due to a leak. it took some coaxing but finally came loose. The hint about opening the door 27 degrees and propping it open with two Allan wrenches through the hinge holes was very helpful. Then I lifted the door a little and gently pushed toward the counter releasing the door form the hinges. I took the door off to find a leak and found the right corner edge of the inside tub had cracked. Not sure how this happened. I cleaned and sanded the crack area and used J-B Weld to epoxy the crack. Replacing the gasket was easy. Slide out the old, slide in the new. Everything went back together smoothly. If I hadn't needed to repair the tub, the hint about opening the door all the way and sliding it out part way might have worked to change the gasket. Note. Unlike a stove door the dishwasher door is not that heavy.

I watched a step by step video provided on the Fix It app. Easy to follow directions and only took minutes to tear apart and put back together. Didn't even require help from my husband. Although the latch and striker were not the problem, contacted parts select and they then recommended the electronic control board, they ordered it, had it shipped to me within a few days, another really easy fix I did using the You tube video. Fixed the problem lickety-split. I will never go without my fix it app. Entered all my appliances. Sure beats spending hundreds on appliance repairmen! Thank you Parts Select!

damage to gasket (had a slit in the area of the utensii baskets.
causing lower right corner of gasket to come out. caused leakage to floor from the lower right corner of door...

As I am 77 yrs of age I was leary of diy but thanks to the reps of
"Parts Select" I actually was able to put in the new gasket myself.It did take some time and lots of patience as it had to be seated correctly..I also had to make sure the new gasket was in the groove as it is supposed to be.

The installation is fairly straightforward, basically one plug in electrical connection and two plumbing connections. The smaller of the two plumbing connections can be tricky because of the hose clamp... The original clamps are one time use crimp style. The replacements are standard hose clamps, which means the section where the tension mechanism is, is a bit wider than the clamp itself... This can cause the rubber collar on the dishwasher to slide off/separate from the pump part itself when tightening the hose clamp. If you are careful and align things just right, it will work like a charm. The best advice I have is to take your time and make sure the connections are snug without being too tight, otherwise it could leak and/or something else could break.

Started by removing dishwasher, including disconnecting power, water and drain line. Then turned washer on back. Electrical connector to old wash pump was a little tricky to remove as the release tab isn’t straightforward, I used a tiny screwdriver and jiggled it around till it came loose. The factory hose clamps (2) are crimped on, but if you can find the tail end you can work them loose with a screwdriver by prying the tail up from the body of the clamp. Once you have the electrical connector and the two clamps removed, the pump comes of easily with a twisting motion. The new wash motor came with new clamps (2 extra). When sliding the rubber boots on the new pump in place, it will require a twisting motion to position it correctly, make sure (I didn’t and had to go through the whole process twice) that the rubber boot is not folded under on the bottom where it’s hard to see. Tighten clamps carefully and don’t over tighten. Plug in electrical connector and you’re ready to reinstall dishwasher.

Simple! I removed the flatware tray and pulled out the old rack assembly. Rolled in the new one and replaced the tray. Not really a "repair" per se but a needed replacement.

Unplug the dishwasher. Remove toe kick with 1/4 socket. Unplug, by pinching, door harness connector (White terminal connector) from PC board at bottom of dishwasher. Remove the door door using the Allen wrench, place it the hole on side of door hinge where pulley attaches. Unhook the pulley attachment at the door by using a vise grip to pull the plastic up and out. Don't break the plastic! Do the same for the other side. Remove Allen wrench. Pull door in and up at the same time. Take off 2 screws at bottom of door using 1/4 or 5/16 socket. Remove the vent cover (cap) using 2 flat head screwdrivers to loosen. Unscrew by hand. Slide toward the bottom, the inner door panel off from the outer door panel. You will see the door wire harness and some styrofoam insulation. Stand with outer door facing away from you. Remove UI by holding door handle, pressing it and pull the control head, up and away from you. It should come off from the top off the outer door panel. The UI will need to be removed from this housing. Unplug the UI harness connector. Remove 7 screw with a Phillips screwdriver or 1/4 socket. There are 2 clear plastic clips that need to be pressed in to release UI from the housing. Be careful, those clips are easy to snap. Place and snap new UI into the housing. Replace 7 screws. Reattach the connector pug to the new UI board. My personality was factory set. So, no jumper pins on my board. Snap the UI housing back onto the top of your door. Delicately, remove the styrofoam and unsnap the old harness to the soap and drying dispenser. Remove the rest of the old harness. Install the new door harness and use the plastic plugs on the harness to secure to the door. Install the styrofoam insulation. Attach the inner door panel to the outer door panel by sliding inner pan up toward the top. Replace the 2 screws at the bottom of the door. Attach vent cap by hand screwing it on. Position door at the dishwasher. Use Allen wrench or helper to hold at correct angle. Use a vise grip to grab the plastic pulley to attach it to the door hinge. Do the same on the other side. Plug in the harness connector to the PC board. Plug in the dishwasher and the UI should light up! Run a load and make sure no leaks are seen around the door. Replace toe kick.

Took it out of the box and set rollers on track
rolled in place ALL DONE

Online instructions said to remove door. Found no need to. Only need to release one hinge by sliding door upward after removing 2 screws at bottom edge of door which releases both hinges. With door lifted just pry out old seal (it will be stuck so use a strong screwdriver). Then slide new seal in place. Lower door back down on hinge. Job done.

The lower tray was simple. Lifted the old one out and placed the new one on the lid of dishwasher.

Upper tray: Used the closed point of scissors to gently push the little piece of plastic on the slide and removed the cap on each slider. Pulled the damaged tray off of the sliders. Removed the piece that shoots the water onto the dishes and placed it on the new tray. Put the tray back on the sliders and replaced the little caps back onto the slider so that the tray did not come off of the track. Voila!!
