40530117 General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

Took out old one and put in the new one. Not hard at all. Thanks

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 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.

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

Replaced the lower right and lower left corner tub baffles

Removed filter screen with the socket set, removed the piston and nut assembly with pliers, and installed the new piston and nut assembly. Put filter screen back in with hex head screws. During the process, I opened the float regulator and cleaned it out too. Water backup problems solved.

removed screen at back of dishwasher from the inside. Twisted piston & nut assembly out by hand and replaced with new one. Very, very simple. Dishwasher works perfectly now.

It really was very simple. The parts just snapped together and then snapped into place on the rack.

First I opened the dishwasher and removed the lower basket. Next I removed the 4 screws that hold the food filter plate in place at the back of the tub. Then I unscrewed the Piston/Check Valve assembly counterclockwise, located at the back center of the tub, by hand. I replaced the old part with the new one and reinstalled the filter plate. I ran a rinse cycle to verify that that all of the water was purged. Finally, I reinstalled the lower basket and resumed using my dishwasher.

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!

I was really suprised at how fast the parts arrived. We used some pliers to open the slide to remove the one end cap still in place. Took what was left of the old roller off and snapped the new ones on slide the rack back into place and replaced the end caps. This was really easy. took no time at all.

Just simply attached where the other roller had been...no installation...
was so glad to be able to find and have shipped so quickly.
Thanks,

just snap wheels in place. But customers should know that the sale only includes 1 wheel for about $20.00 with shipping and handling!!!!

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.

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.
