GSM2260N20SS General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

Removed kick panel and pulled out the unit from cabinet carefully. Turned off water and power. Removed the water feed and used an aluminum pie tin line a low-profile drip pan to catch the extra water and used a scrap towel to clean the dust and extra water spilling out. Used sockets and wrench to remove the old inlet and screwed out the housing to examine the old inlet. No real way to clean it. Honestly, I don’t see a reason for the filter. There’s no way to replace it and it’s not easy to change out anyway. The particles were so small they could have passed through and not harmed the system. A better and more practical place for any filter would be just in front of the inlet that could just pop in every 2-3 years as needed preventatively in 5 minutes. Anyway, I reassembled and tested. Water flow was great. I think it cleans better too because the hot water fills the plastic reservoir faster and stays hot to clean more effectively.

The sump was very clogged with caulk like crud that we think was a chemical reaction from soap that was used the first two years. When I first started troubleshooting, the sump seemed to be the problem, so I replaced that. There was a small hose on the sump that was broken so it made sense to replace it anyhow.

When that didn't help I put the dishwasher into service mode and observed that there just wasn't enough water to spin the sprayer. Therefore it was a water quantity problem, which can be caused by either the Water Inlet Valve or the Flood Switch.

I ordered both the Water Inlet Valve and the Flood Switch, just in case. I replaced the valve first and when that worked I did not install the switch.

Installation was performed with the dishwasher still inserted in the cabinet. If you have big hands, pull the dishwasher out. With sockets and nut drivers, I was able to remove the assembly. After pulling it out enough to clear the dishwasher, I was able to get a screwdriver on the outlet side clamp and a wrench on the inlet side hose.

My old valve had a 90° elbow on it and that was difficult to remove. Installing the elbow on the new valve was just as bad. The valves don't have enough clearance to get a wrench on them to keep them from turning while the elbow is tightened.

TIP: Take a picture of the valve before removing/disconnecting anything. I don't know if the electrical connector can attach either way but I made sure to put it back on exactly the same way it was.

See GE web site for repair instructions. Take out screws at top of door. Slide unit out there is a spring on each side of the door just look at the good one for details. Easy fix. About 30 minutes.

The instructions provided are very good if I had done before. My concern was getting the gasket to sit properly at the bottom where you cannot see. I removed the inside of the door (7 screws) and this made it easier to assure gasket sat properly in the track. may have cost an extra 15 minutes but worth it. If I do again I will take door apart again, however I think this is fixed and should not need attention again.

Repair was easy. However, this did not solve the problem.

I followed the video instructions on removing the rack slide end cap to prevent breaking it and it was very easy to remove and replace the broken one. I attached the new rack rollers and voila we were back in business. I was about to order a new dishwasher the night before for $5oo! Thankfully the stores website wasn't working so I couldn't. I decided to look online to find out if it was easy just to replace the parts. Looks like I saved close to $500 just replacing those parts! AWESOME!!!!!Thank you for a user friendly website. It made all the difference")

Removed screws and replaced the part. It couldn't of been earlier. Only problem this kit didn't include a toe kick and we are having a hard time finding it.

from the information previous customers had written.
it saved a lot of fustration and time
and best of all the dish washer does not leak.

removed the end caps and took the rack out of the dish washer.

found right front rack roller bad and replaced.

slide rack back into dishwasher and replace end caps.

I connected one end of hose to the drain using a hose clamp and screwdriver then connected the other end to the dishwasher using anouther hose clamp and a screwdriver..

Removed the white end of the top track. Pulled off the remnants of the rack roller. Slide the rack roller wheel into the track and popped the other end on the top rack (looked at the other rack rollers to see how it fit.) After that, I put the end back on the track.... Note what is the top and what is the bottom of the track end. Realizing that there is a wider area on the track to slide part of the white track end through to get it on without much effort.

First, I read several other repair stories on the PartSelect site. The best advice I got was in how to remove the end caps. Another customer described you had to twist them to get them out. One customer had broken the end caps trying to get them out - something I definitely wanted to avoid. I twisted out the end caps, put the new rollers in, snapped them into place, and put the end caps back on. I was done in minutes and (briefly) a hero to the wife, who hates to pay for service calls!

The biggest challenge is to remove the plastic runner stops without breaking them. I used a small flat blade screw driver to carefully flex back the rear flange of the runner stop so that it would clear the top metal flange of the runner. Then disengage the stop by rotating the body of the stop towards the center of dishwaser tub and this will allow the stop to slide out of the runner flanges. Once the stops are removed it is very simple to remove the rack snap on the new rollers and replace.

Removed the plastic end cap on each roller guide , snapped off the existing four rollers and removed. Inserted the new rollers into the guide, secured them into their places and replaced the end caps.

The trick in replacing the roller wheels is to remove the plastic/rubber "stop" that is attached to the front of the stainles steel track. I used a pair of needle nose pliers to bend the small plastic extension on the "stop" so it would be released and then remove the "stop" from both tracks. Once that is done then simply slide out the rack assuming some of the wheels are still attached to the tracks and/or the wheels.

The next step is to install the new wheels onto the rack. Then, slide the rack/wheels onto the tracks. Then, snap the "stops" back onto the racks.

You're done!!
