GSM2200V45WW General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

I removed the end clips on the pull out rack track. took out the broken roller end and snapped the new roller onto the rack and into the track snapped in the end cap. Problem solved !!! Now the wife can get back to work!!!

Removed the end tabs from the rack and then removed the rollers one at a time.

Replaced the rollers one at a time , one side at a time, starting with the rear ones. I had to use the pliers to remove one of the rollers ( it was tight) and to dislodge the end cap brackets on the rack.

Replaced the remaining 3 rollers.

Placed the end cap brackets back on the rack and then slid the rack into place.

It works great now!

First I needed to remove the end caps on the sliding metal rails which hold the rack rollers. This was the most challenging part of the repair and the largest amount of time was devoted to getting them out without breaking them. Once these were off, I slid the rack out, removed all of the rollers and replaced them with the new ones. I guided the rollers back into the metal rails and then began trying to get the end caps back on. Again - dealing with these was the most challenging, but with patient work, they snapped back in. It was helpful to have a screwdriver to 'persuade' the end caps on and off.

Just like the other guy's repair:
Took plastic stops off
Replaced rollers
Installed plastic stops
Forgot to make grunting noise to make wife think I'm working hard.
Walked away.
5 mins.

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!!

First I removed end caps of top roller rack. Caps have small squeeze tounge that must be squeezed and twisted to remove. Then simply roll out rack. plastic clips and wheels are easily removed and replaced.

I watched the Part Select video, and it was very helpfull.
But next time I would watch the video before I ordered the parts, and think about other parts that I may break duing the repair.

Relatively easy. It took a bit of time to figure how to get the stops out of the end of the slider rack to be able to remove the rack and replace the rollers. I figured out you have to use needle-nose pliers to gently bend the tab on the stop (facing the rear of the diswasher) backwards and then tilting it out. Then the rack rolls right out and the replacement of the rollers was simply a matter of snapping off the old ones off the spindle, and reinstalling the new ones.

You have to be careful you don't break the tabs on the stops on the front of the rails, or you will have a rack that keeps falling out of the front when you pull it out. Be gentle with them and take your time!

Parts Direct was great, by the way, shipping and service was almost immediate! Their supply of parts is amazing!

First we popped off the end caps to release the rack. We used a pliers and screwdriver. This was the most difficult. The rollers went off and on very easily. We used the pliers to put the end caps on too.

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

I had a shut off water supply shut off shut under my sink. That is where I shut the water off for the dishwasher. I knew it was for the dishwasher ,because it follow the line, and could see it was going to the washer. Then I went down stairs in the basement. Opened my breaker box, and found the breaker for the dish washer marked dish washer, and put in the off position. When I was still up stairs I opened dish washer , and inside at the top was two screws holding the dishwasher to the counter top. Those two screws turned out to be the exact size of just about every screw I ended up having to unscrew on this machine. So at the time I was in the basement turning off breaker, I went to the garage to gather up tools. Take the two screws that are screwed to the counter top. Then I layed on the floor, and at the bottom of the dish washer there is a panel on the front of the machine with screws attaching it. Take those screws out. Pull off cover. Now get a flash light so you can see. They're adjustable feet that the dishwasher are being leveled by. Those feet need to most likely be adjusted down so you can the machine pulled out, and make it possible to work on. now you can you can pull it out, but watch that water supply line does not get hung up, or electrical wires. Once the machine is pulled out there is another cover on the front that I took off. Four screws hold it on. Now you can get to the part to fix it. The other thing you need to know is after taking off the valve and taking off the old 90 fitting. It will need cleaned up. When you put it on the new shut off valve use pipe dope or thread tape so it doesn't leak. Good luck.

Removed the rack.
Removed the roller bar.
Removed the roller base from the rack.
Removed the roller from the roller bar.
Replaced in reverse order.

DONE.

The top right rail, facing the dishwasher, has a self lock tab. Using pliers, straighten the lock tab, insert the cap and then restore the lock tab to it's original position.

I just had to play around with it to attach the new cap without breaking it.....never did this before but eureka! it worked.
