GSD1200V02 Hotpoint Dishwasher - Instructions

The replacement of the motor and pump assembly went smoothly and without difficulty however this did not fix the problem. It then appeared that the inlet water valve was not operating properly, so this part was ordered and instlled, a very simple proceedure that could be done witrhout removving fthe dishwasher from its cabinet. -- Again failure to run -- the timer assembly and electronic panel were then removed and examined. The control panel had no visible defects, so the timer assemblyand its cover was removed and examined . Uing a variable power supply the drive motor for the timer was energized and tested. As the motor ran properly the electrical switching contacts were then carfully checked, it was discovered that one contact set was heavily pitted and burned. These contacts were carefully cleaned and pollished with 1000 grit sanding paper. The actuator leaves were examined and two sets were found to be slightly out of alignment. The leaves on these sets were bent slightly to insure they were in line with the rest of the leaf serts. It was then noted that the rotating leaf('s) actuator had a home position indicated by a molded depression at one location and the motor was energized using approximately 5 volts ( a nine volt battery could also be used as a poer supply) observing prolper polarity to run the rotator until the home position was established and the actuator rods paul dropped into this depression. The assembly was then replaced in the diswasher using care to make sure that the actuation arm and spring were positioned properly weith the arrow end of the arm located in the recesss of of the rotating timer disk use care in placing the assembly and do not lose the sping which attaches to a mounting post and the arm. You may want to take a picture of the spring and arm locations when you rwmove the timer assembly to properly re-assemble all components, the repaired unit was placed back in its cabinet and a full cycle run to establish proper operation. And unit checked ok! Some of these proceedures are not for the weak of heart. I am a retired engineer who has been repairing my own equipment since graduation. .

Replacing the two corner baffles was the third attempt to stopping the leak. I first replaced the door seal without removing the inner door and the leak did not stop. Then I removed the inner door, reinstalled the door along the bottom and added the small seal required at the lower center portion which is separate than the longer door seal. Still leaked! Then I replaced the corner baffles and alas., the leak stopped. I would recommend that all seals be replaced at the same time. Total cost about $40.00 and can easily be done in one hour or less. I ordered the parts And they arrived remarkably in les than 24 House with regular delivery. Very pleased with Parts Select instructions and service!

I looked at your web sight and saw how to repair dishwasher.

The rack for my model has been discontinued so they shipped me the replacement version. The wheels on the new one are skinnier than the original model so I had to remove them and replace them with the wheels from the old rack for it to fit/roll correctly. The new wheels were a little tricky to get off as I had to use a screw driver and basically manipulate/pry apart the clamps that hold them on. The old wheels just snap on.

Removed the corner baffles by lifting up and out. Cleaned the area and pushed new replacements in position.

Removed door seal by pulling on the end.
Press new seal in to the slot. Work in to slot a tree ound door.

This is more of a nuisance problem than repair. We have had this excellant dishwasher for years and the last two or so years the wheels kept coming off, my wife would get on me to put them back, after a while she would just lay them on the counter and i would get the message. the reason they kept coming off was because over time the retaining plastic was sprung or broken off. I tried to repair them with glue,tape,etc. nothing worked for long. I am handicapped and couldn't get to the store. I ordered the part from you and got them that same day, my wife and I were amazed. Thank You!!!!!!!!

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

Installation of the two new lower rack rollers was extremely easy. Simply aligning each of the new rollers and pressing them into place completed the task in a few seconds.

The new roller easily clipped together and then clipped into place on the lower dishwasher rack.

Pushed the roller onto the axle, then snapped it to the rack.

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!!!!

Popped the wheel in-- just like that! everything fixed!

a P. S. --- right after I replaced the missing wheel, my wife found the original wheel which had come off and slipped under the kitchen cabinet.

That's OK. Now I have a good source of repair parts I didn't have last week!! (and a spare wheel in the process). Thanks Chas Field

First let me say, it's so easy even a caveman can do it. I removed the water out of the bottom. Then I removed the cover in the very back of the machine with a wrench. As soon as I did that, I could see the piston. Next, I twisted the white piston out with my fingers (this was the hardest part). I could see the piston had partially disintigrated. I ordered a new one, had it delivered in a few days, and put it all back in reverse. It took minutes. Thanks to the guy that posted his story, I was able to fix mine for $18.

Snapped off the old wheel and discovered that the wire that held the wheel seemed bent, so I straightened it with a pliers and then snapped the new wheel on. It was so easy.
