PDW1800K01BB General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

Simply screwed in the new rinse aid cap to replace the old one

1. open dishwasher, 2. roll out bottom dish rack, 3. remove old silverware basket, 4 place new basket in same spot old basket was in, 5. roll bottom dish rack back into dishwasher, 6. close dishwasher door.

The repair piece containing the gasket must be unscrewed and the replacement piece is then screwed into place. Use of a wrench is necessary but used gentle compression as this piece is plastic. Also be careful when starting to thread the piece back on as too much pressure may push the part you are threading it onto out of the back of the dishwasher. ( Note that removing the top rack facilitates the job.. This is done by pushing the locks at the end of the roller tracks in and then to the side, opening the tracks for removal of the rack.)

Opened dishwasher after it completed a wash cycle. Found the rinse dispenser cap had come off during the wash and melted on the heating coil at the bottom of the machine. Pulled cap off of coil, made sure coil was not disturbed. Looked in various sites for cap. Finally found this site where I didn't need to order the whole mechanism and could order just the cap. Received the cap, screwed into the dispenser, fixed. The only problem I had was that there were two possible caps so I picked the one that was the same color as the original one. Project completed.
