JDB6510AWD Jenn-Air Dishwasher - Instructions

I decided to do some regular maintenance on the dishwasher. The spray arm and components have been caked from our hard water and soap. I unwittingly broke the seal on a portion of the spray arm to try and clean. I did not know it was sealed, thought it could snap. The broken seal created a high pressure stream that pushed the door enough to let water leak out.

Replacing it was easy. Unscrewed the plastic nut, lifted out spray arm and disc, unsnapped arm from disc and replaced new one. Leak is now fixed. This part was much much cheaper than i imagined and brought new life to our dishwasher. Best.Store.Ever.

removed the 2 stops that held in the upper basket. rolled the old one out and slid the new one in. the replaced the stops. cake and pie!!

Ordered silverware basket, placed into the proper position. Easy as pie.

just put the three parts together . I had the old parts to go by .

You have a terrific web site for research into exact parts needed for any appliance Keep up the good work !

No Tools Required! unclip the end caps of the slide rails, slide the upper rack out of the dishwasher. Remove the broken Wheel Mounting Strip from the rack and replace with the new unit. Re-assemble the rack into the dishwasher and re-fasten the end caps. Don't forget to get the appropriate accolades from your spouse!

take handle off old basket put on new basket done

seeing as how my husband was out of town, I inserted a regular flatware knife in each of the four slots that held the handle in place on the basket. I then slowly pushed down on the handles of the knives on opposite sides of each other to unlock the handle from two slots on the basket and then went on to push down on the other two flatware knives on the opposite sides...sure enough, the handle came right off...less than 5 minutes in all to take the old handle off from the old basket and then snap it into place onto my newly acquired basket.

The basket did not include the handle (something I didn't notice when I ordered it). I simply removed the handle from the old basket and placed it on the new basket.

Having utensils falling through was really getting old. This was $25 well spent.

My dishwasher started making a loud screeching noise so I took apart the bottom assembly of the dishwasher to see where the noise was coming from. I found the part that had come loose and went to partselect.com to see if I could find the replacement part. I quickly found the part and the price was very reasonable. The repair was fairly easy. Once I pulled out the bottom rack in the dishwasher I unscrewed the plastic piece that held the rotating spray assembly. Once that was unscrewed 3 pieces were removed. A nutdriver was then used to remove a large cover at the bottom of the dishwasher. Once it was out of the way I could reach the discharge housing assembly with the nutdriver to remove it. I swapped the parts over to the new discharge housing then reassembled and it works like new again!

popped the two end caps off of the runners (the hardest part of the installation was figuring out how to pop them without braking them). Turns out just using a flat screw driver to start opening the cap lock did the trick. Once the end caps were off it was just a matter of rolling the old one off and the new one on and then putting the end caps back on.

The new basket wasn't an exact match, it's lighter weight and doesn't have the exact same configuration as far as the rows of tines. This will do us fine until it's time to replace the unit.

no problem. new knob slipped right into place!

I ordered the parts after looking at the diagrams. I ordered a total of 5 pieces.
The parts arrive earlier than expected, and were new, OEM, parts. I cannot stress how important it is to order Original Equipment Manufacturer parts.
I replaced the broken pieces within 30 minutes. Great experience.

Removed 2 each screws from counter top. Pulled washer out 1'. Installed springs and linkage by hand with door closed. Push washer back reinstalled 2 screws.

I removed the four screws that hold the front kick plates on. Then, I removed the hose clamp (on the right side of the pump that secures the top shower hose assembly to the pump assembly. Then I pulled the dishwasher out, and pulled out the four black snap clips that hold the insulation in place. I then folded the insulation back and reached inside the dishwasher to disconnect the hose assembly. On the top spray arm is a nut that is easily removed without any special tools.
Be sure to save the rubber washer unless you order a new one along with the top shower hose.
Overall, an easy fix. Saved about $100.00 by doing it myself.

When I tried to remove the hold down screw for the impellar, the impellar broke in half. I actually did npt need to go this far with disassembly as the problem was with water being retained in the rinse arm assembly and stagnating. This was due to calcium buildup clogging the drain holes. Clearing the holes resolved the problem.
