DW1085KW2 Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

merely snapped the part on

This could not have gone easier! As long as you get the proper parts it's a piece of cake. I wish everything was this easy!

Installed New rollers onto bottom rack. Part order & delivery were top notch from Partselect. Will definitely order from them again.

Both heating element brass nuts had a split in them. They had fallen off the heating element and were hanging on the electrical wires. I removed the wires from the heating element and removed the brass nuts from the wires. I then screwed the new nuts on the heating element and reattached the wires. problem solved. I want to thank you for having the parts I needed as Sears had discontinued them for this Kenmore appliance.

Rollers just snapped on the diswasher rack. Took just seconds to do.

Nothing to it. Just inserted the iron stud into the center wheel and pressed the bracket onto the stud.

Spotted the source of the leak at the first heating element under the dishwasher. Removed the brass mounting nut and it was cracked. Replaced with new part from PartSelect.com and the leak was fixed. Apparently the heating element gets so hot it tends to crack the mounting nuts, which results in a leak. Delivery time for part said 3-5 days - mine arrived one day after ordered!

husband replaced wheels.

power off, take off kickplate, unplug 2 wires and unscrew broken nuts, put new nuts on, plug wires back in,(run dishwasher one cycle to make sure no leaks) put kickplate back on, power on.

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.

Ditto the other comments. Easy, great savings. Perfect. Thank you!

Just a littlr snap in the right place and perfection!

first I shut off power at breaker then took off bottom panel,removed old nuts had a problem with the 1 in the back had to remove a few wires to be able to reach in.Then i open door removed dishwasher rack and heater element notice that the hole was rusted out a little so I cleaned area up and used permatex silicone all the area installed the new grommets replaced the heating element put it all back together will test for leaks after silicone cures

2 wheels were missing and I replaced them in 2 seconds. The diagram online was a huge help!

Used a deep 13 mm socket to remove the old nuts, one of which was split which is what caused the problem. I installed the new grommets with the aid of a little olive oil and then I had to wiggle the element very slightly (more olive oil on the heating element where it slips in the grommet) while pressing down on the element. It slipped into place and then I reinstalled the new nuts and the wires and it was done. One word of caution the stainless mounts that hold the heating element are very sharp on the edges. If you use gloves and move them very easy to prevent damage to the mounts it will be easy to replace the grommets and the nuts.
