GSD4000K55BB General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

I Just Open Door And Put Fill Cap In And Turn That It

placed the end cap into location and forced it into place. Fixed -and we are all much happier!!

Replaced both corner tub baffles but did not correct the problem.

Replaced the lower right and lower left corner tub baffles

The only trick was the endcaps, which were not intuitive. I followed the instructions in the following Youtube video , which direct the user to bend a tab at the rear of the endcap back away from the front using a quarter in order to allow the endcap to rotate out of position inwards into the interior of the dishwasher. The old racks then slid easily out of the dishwasher, the new ones equally easily slid in, and then the endcaps required the tab to be bent back to allow them to rotate back into position.

It was so easy-just popped the end peice in and it fit perfectly. I also ordered 2 knobs for my dryer which was only one year old, they were also so easy to put on.. I received my parts 2 days after I ordered and because of some problems with my computer had to talk to the operators and was very pleased and happy with their help and with the parts that I ordered. I wil always order my parts from Parts Select.

Opened door, Removed lower tub baffles on each side of tub, cleaned area and inserted new baffles, no tools needed

Simply remove both baffles by hand, wash space under baffles with warm water and dry, then insert new ones which fit perfectly and were tight.

Simply replaced the left and right baffle. Leaking stopped completely. Wanted to run the dishwasher 3 times before I responded and so far, so good!! Very simple to replace

I just installed the tub baffles in place by hand and ran the dishwasher and the leak is gone. No old baffles was in the place where they should have been. I had a servece man out and he didn't know why it leaked so I got on your web site and found out about the baffles could be the reason it was leaking. Thats when I look at the area for the baffles and found they were no baffles. Next time I see the service man I will tell him how I fixed the problem. He should pay me and not bill me ( ha ha ). Many thanks for you good service.

Removed old parts and installed the new ones.

I measured the diameter of the working wheels from the existing ones, and located the parts I needed from the website. I order two packages, each containing the wheels and axles for the rack.
When delivered, I snapped the wheels onto the delivered axles. Then, I snapped the axels unto the bottom rack, at the correct place. I used a large pliers for leverage because the axel was a bit tight to just simply snap on.
The middle wheels are located just behind the front wheels, thereby offering support when the botton rack is pulled forward for loading. Likewise, they offer support when the rack is pushed back in place.

The baffles looked worn so I started with replacing both of those. This did reduce the leaking from the left corner but did not totally stop it. I then decided to replace the door gasket so I put in an order for one and it came the following day. This was also very easy (no tools required). I just cleaned really good and dried the area and put the new door gasket in. NO MORE LEAK! We are getting ready to sell our home and this saved us from having to buy a new dishwasher. Thanks PartSelect:)

Put end cap in dishwasher with movable part toward the back of the dishwasher. The free end of the movable part should be oriented at the top of the end cap. Put the lower half of the end cap into the rail behind the indented metal area so the widest part of the end cap is just opposite the hole where it should snap into place. Push the movable arm towards the back of the dishwasher until it fits under the upper rail. Then move the top half of the end cap into place under the top of the rail.

I ordered a drain valve shaft seal and new push on nut after reading similar stories of leaking problems on-line. I was pretty sure the leak was coming from the dump valve seal.

With repair parts on-hand, I took my dishwasher out during kitchen remodeling. I put the dishwasher on it's left side and removed the solenoid rod (lifts out on its own) and the dump valve's white plastic lever. I removed the old push on nut and pulled out the old washer with a small screwdriver. I then installed the new washer paying close attention to the supplied directions that said to install it with the lip in the correct direction. I then slipped on the new push on nut. The new push on nut is necessary since the old one will be destroyed in trying to remove it. I attacked it with needle nose plyers, a nail, and a small screwdriver before getting it bend and become loose enough to slide off. Care must be taken not to damage the shaft and groove. If you are generally handy at repairs, this repair will be easy.

I just hooked it up a few days ago and ran a cycle and no leak. Countertops will be installed in 4 days and the dishwasher will then get used frequently. I have faith the repair will hold and the dishwasher will remain leak free.

Luckily PartSelect was available to order the $20 repair parts and keep my faithful dishwasher on-line. Saved me the cost of a new $500 unit. I know this dishwasher cleans well and I don't have to risk buying a new one just to find out it doesn't clean as well.
