LSDF9969BD LG Dishwasher - Instructions

Simple, removed screws securing machine in the cabinet, then pull the unit out of the cabinet space about 10 inches. Springs are accessible within this extension. You need strong hands to extend the springs and attach them. Once attached, push machine back in place and re-install the anchor screws. In my situation, only one spring was broken, so the attached side revealed the correct slot to place the hook on the top position, the bottom position has a plastic lead for the spring, and that lead is attached to a rope to the door hinge. Note: Replace BOTH springs, even if only one is broken.

According to your site, the part(s), to consider, to resolve the problem were: 1.Motor Assembly DC Pump, OR 2.Drain Pump. I simply selected the drain pump because it was cheaper and because it was making a clicking noise. (The only significant noise that this dishwasher was making) To be safe, I unplugged the unit and turned off the water, under the sink. I removed the kick plate and I unscrewed the anchor clips from under the counter and carefully pulled the unit out. I then opened the dishwasher and removed the lower rack. To minimize water clean-up, I took a rag and soaked up the standing water in the bottom until it was nearly dry. I then tipped the dishwasher on it's left side, knowing where the location of the drain pump (front, right), would be in an easier location for me to work. I first unplugged the pumps wiring. Then, with pliers, I was able to disconnect the clips on the short, rubber hoses that hold the pump in alignment.(Use caution: If reusing the same rubber hose(s) on the new pump, it will be easier if you put them on in the same direction as they were take off) Then I removed the rubber supports off their hooks, that allow the pump to hang from the bottom of the dishwasher. Once the rubber hoses are re-connected on the new pump and placed on to it's former proper alignment, you can re-attach the rubber supports to their hooks. And last, but not least, remember to plug the new pump's wires back in place. Carefully stand up dishwasher and push it slowly back into place. I plugged in the unit and turned on the water. Before I screwed the unit back to the counter and kick plate back on the front, I ran a load and watched for leaks beneath the new pumps area. No leaks. "Easy, Peasy".

Shut off electrical breaker, Removed bottom cover plate by removing 2 Phillips head screws. I was able to remove the pump without pulling the dishwasher out by removing wiring connection, hose clamps with a pair of pliers, and removed the 2 rubber hangers However I couldn’t reinstall the pump without pulling the dishwasher out. 1.I disconnected the electrical wiring (breaker was shut off). 2. Shut the water supply off and removed water line at the dishwasher. 3. Disconnected the drain at the sink. 4. Removed the 2 retaining screws 1 on each side that secures the dishwasher in place. 4. Removed the upper and lower racks, Used a shop vac and sucked the water out of the bottom of the dishwasher. 5. Pulled the dishwasher out making sure the drain line came with it. 6. Laid The dishwasher over on the back side to the floor. 7. Reinstalled pump with new hose clamps and hoses that came with the pump. ( it probably would have been easier to remove the pump with the dishwasher pulled out) reinstall the wire connection to the pump (snap in connection), connected the 2 new rubber hangers to pump and connected to the dishwasher . 8. Slide the dishwasher back in place and reconnect water line be sure and use some Teflon tape, reconnect electrical wiring, reconnect drain line, secure dishwasher with screws. Turn water on and check for leaks, turn electrical power back on. I ran the dishwasher to make sure it worked and make sure there weren’t any leaks before I installed the bottom cover plate.
I had an appliance service person say that they wouldn’t work on an LG because they were hard to work on and very difficult to get parts. My experience was just the opposite thanks to partselect. The Dishwasher works like brand new.

First do not watch the videos . They had you taking the insides all apart
when all you had to do is pull the unit out , twist the motor out and put the new one back in. Take nothing apart inside the dishwasher.

Pull the dishwasher out from underneath the countertop took 2 minutes unscrewed the panel on the side one minute put the connector on one minute screwed the panel back on 1 minute put the dishwasher back underneath the counter two minutes very easy job

Turn off the power at breaker box. Disconnect the power at dishwasher since I needed to pull the unit all the way out of the cabinet to get to screws on the back side for this model. Find and remove the screws to the cover. Remove cover. In my case, the rope on the connector assembly had snapped. I replaced spring and connector identically to functioning side. Did need a pair of pliers to provide enough tension on spring to install. Reconnected cover and power and moved back into the cabinet. Easy repair and my wife wondered why I hadn't done it sooner.

We replaced the rusty with the new ones.

I actually didn't remove whole drain pump assembly. Just removed the old pump motor by rotating. Lots of water drains out so be ready with an old towel. Then installed the new drain motor and tossed the new housing. No more water at the end of cycle!

Unscrew all screws on the inside of the dishwasher door. Carefully separate the front panel from the inside panel. Lift out the latch assembly, remove connectors from both sides using needle nose pliers. Reconnect to new assembly and situate back into place. Close front and inside panel, replace all screws, making sure the short and long screws go back to where they came from. Quick easy project to eliminate 2 trips from a repairman, 1 for the diagnosis and 1 to do the work!

Snapped the rollers on.

Loosened 3 screws and unhooked supply line and electric box and pulled it out.

Had to call have an installer attach a metal strip across granite counter top and they did not have the top mount brackets so I had to order them and finish the install. The dishwasher was installed on the side mounts and they missed the cabinets

turned off circuit breaker. Removed bottom panel which allowed access to drain pump. Disconnected electrical plug. Clamped hose clips and removed hoses. Removed old drain pump assembly. Installed new assembly by reversing process. Access was a bit tight but managed to do it without pulling the whole dishwasher out of the cupboard.

The inside gasket deteriorates over time - However replacement is easy. the main thing you have to remember is after you remove the old gasket, install the new one starting at the middle top of the tub and work your way down both sides. Also, don't push the gasket all the way in...only enough to hold in place. When you close the door the gasket will form a better seal around the door.

I am 77 years old and got it all on but the corners did not want to go in so I had to call my grandson and he got them in. It still leaked on the bottom left side. It is getting old (11 yrs) so I decided to get a new one. It is actually pretty simple to install, but it does take a little strength.
