motor noise.
Most time spent was removing washer out from beneath the counter. Motor and pump installation was a breeze. Everything I needed was in the kit and easy to follow the instructions provided. Saved a lot of money and washer runs perfect. Thank you.
I disconnected the water line on the left-front. Disconnected the drain line at the air-break. I removed the AC power-in box on the right front and disconnected the power lines going to the unit. I took out the two screws holding the unit to the cabinet (above the door) and slid the unit out onto a drop cloth (protect the floor; some water spills). Pulled the unit out and turned over. Followed the directions with the motor & pump valve kit, which were very easy to follow. Then reversed the above. Nut drivers are a must for this job.
Removed the dishwasher from under the counter, found where the leak was coming from, which took the most time. We ordered the new part on line, it came the next day and the installation of the new part took about 30 minutes and the dishwasher is like new now. This procedure saved us a lot of money.
SOmehow the upper rack end cap went missing. I needed to replace the cap so the rack would not pull all the way out and fall down.
I used needle nose pliers. I bent the stainless steel guide arm out so that I could insert the end cap. Once the end cap was installed I used the same needle nose pliers to "pinch" the guide arm back tight around the end cap. The end cap had premanufactured "notches" to hold the end cap in place once the guide arms are pinched down.
After doing dishes by hand for four months, I decided to take a look at the dishwasher. It took about 40 minutes to identify the problem and order the part fom PartSelect. The part arrived in two days and took two minutes to install. It's best not to rush into these things.
Pulled out the old and rolled in the replacement. The easiest part of the repair was ordering from the PartSelect website and receiving it via FedEx Ground the next day. Thank you PartSelect. Even my husband could have been successful with this.
The motor/pump Kit I purchased could fix/be installed in any GE dishwasher made since 1970. I would guess that the one I have is about 15-20 years old. I encountered only one small problem with the kit------ a motor hanger that had to be bent a bit to fit correctly. Other than that it was a total breeze. The clear instructions included in the kit helped quite a bit. In 30 minutes or so ,I was done and our machine was back in operation
This was really easy. The parts fit perfectly. First i turn off power at circuit panel; turn off water and dissconnected water line and discharge hose. Removed dishwasher from under counter and placed on side. Disconnected connections to motor and pump and replaced and installed same as one unit.
Pop off End Caps with pliers. Slide Upper Dish Rack out of dishwasher. Pop off "interior" End Caps with pliers. Slide out Upper Rack Slides. Slide in new Upper Rack Slide just past second roller guide snap on new End Caps. Slide upper dish rack back into place. Snap on new End Caps.
I took the dishwasher out from under the sink and looked at the pump and motor, saw that the cooling fan that this old style motor used was broke. Ordered this kit and installed it. I didn't even look at the directions that simple of a swap. Thank God!
