1071-003A Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

Thanks to PartsSelect exploded drawings, it was easy to identify and order the part. Installing was a case of just snapping it on the rack.

husband replaced wheels.

Simply remove the bottom panel below the door. The owners manual (22 year old model) showed the proper hole in which to attach the spring. Attach spring to door and then to frame of dishwasher, as illustrated in manual. It is a tight fit to get your hands in there, but once you do it is a snap. We have replace these springs several times over the life of this appliance, this is the first time we have actually found the proper springs, should last a long time. Thank you Parts Select for having the inventory for such an old model!

I only had one break, but bought both to replace. I don't agree with those that say you have to slide the dishwasher out to repair. I simply removed the lower kick plate, and replace the springs in no time. Very easy as was ordering the parts. I will return here for all my appliance parts in the future. Hope I don't actually need any.

This dishwasher has a plastic bolt that holds the actuator on. The action loosens the bolt and it wobbles and eventually comes off. After enough attempts the bolt will strip and need to be replaced. I took some 3M loctite this time to hold it in place. It is 24 years old, but still kicking

Removed lower panel; unmounted fill valve assembly. Installed two springs. Remounted fill valve assembly and reinstaslled the lower panel. Door must be in a near closed position to gain access to the door "L" spring brackets.
