UNPACKED WHEELS AND CLIP. USING NEEDLE NOSE PLIERS SQUEEZED WHEEL TIP TO INSERT IN WHEEL. REMOVED OLD WHEELS AND RETAINER BY HAND. INSTALLED NEW WHEELS INSTALLED AND NEW RETAINERS

My GE dishwasher had a problem. The upper rack would fall into the lower rack when loaded breaking dishes! Turns out, the front rollers on the upper rack were broken so that the supports would just pull out. So, I found the parts on this website easily. I then took off the plastic plug on the support which is easy to do. There is a flange you bend towards the rear of the dishwasher to release the plug. Once released you have access to the rollers, which just snap off easily. The new ones snap on easily. Reverse the cap removal, and you are done!

Installed new lower rack wheel kit

removed both corner baffles, also door gasket was bad, all parts were easy to order and install, the customer service was excellant with all my questions and concerns to get the right part and the parts arrived in just two days, thank you

Removed the 7 screws from inner side of door; removed set screw from handle; removed inner door cover; pulled old part out; pushed new part in and Voila! Replaced all screws, no problem. Thanks for your great customer service!

researched the problem, listened to you tube, ordered the parts
and did the repair. Very easy to do, only took a few minutes.

1 - unscrew that holded the machine in place, these screws were on the top of machine.
2 - pull out machine about 5 inches.
3 - unscrew the cover at the bottom cover. there were 4 screws, 2 on the left and 2 on the right.
4 - connect 2 cables in series with 2 springs.
5 - hook one end of 1st cable to the left pin and the other end of 2nd cable to the right pin.
6 - slide both cables lay on both wheels.
7 - Tight all 4 screws back to their place and push machine in place.
8 - tight the last 2 screw which hold machine in place.

Open door, remove lower wash rack, remove 4 screws holding screen in rear of inside tub with 1/4 inch socket. Unscrew piston and nut assy for checkvalve, sounds like a mouthful but it is only 1 part. Checkvalve has 2 small ears on it which allow you to twist it out, it has treads on it. Flapper on check valve flapper rots away and water pumps back into tub instead of being routed to drain line to garbage disposal. Part with shipping was just over $20.

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.

I followed the video instructions on removing the rack slide end cap to prevent breaking it and it was very easy to remove and replace the broken one. I attached the new rack rollers and voila we were back in business. I was about to order a new dishwasher the night before for $5oo! Thankfully the stores website wasn't working so I couldn't. I decided to look online to find out if it was easy just to replace the parts. Looks like I saved close to $500 just replacing those parts! AWESOME!!!!!Thank you for a user friendly website. It made all the difference")

Remove the bottom two panels below the dishwasher door. There are two phillips screws and two nut screws.

Replace the broken cable by first hooking the cable to the side of the dishwasher. The other end of the cable assembly with two holes hooks up to the two large springs which keeps the door in balance. Hook one spring at a time to the cable assembly.

Reassemble the two bottom panels with the four screws.

YOU ARE DONE - Congratulations, you just saved $125 which is what the plumber quoted me.

The cable attachment comes with the two hole loop assembly that the springs hook into. With the lower panel off and the door closed, the other end of the cable assembly hooks onto the fitting on the side of the door. No tools required except the phillips head screw driver to take off the lower panel.
