FBD2400KB12B Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

The Parts finder was the big help. After that all that was needed was to loosen the clamps and replace the old hose with the new one A piece of cake. Slide the washer back into place and replace the screws that hold it to the counter. Out and back in, 30min. top end to complet the job

Pulled the broken one off, snapped the new one on.

I had to remove the dishwasher from under the counter, flip it on it's side to gain access to the discharge hose attachment point, removeit, remove the other end of the hose from the sink-side and replace the hose. The sink-end of the hose has a 'collar' that must be cut to fit the fitting on the sink.

Water had been dripping for quite some time causing the floor boards to warp and buckle causing the door to no longer align. Water drip could be seen coming from the motor area. Ordered the O rings and replaced. Get Motor & Pump schematic Pub to visualize how parts fit together. I recommend getting motor (~$90)which comes with O rings (~$50 for O rings alone) because, as it turns out, the leak was in motor. I will post repair process in separate posting.

This was really easy. Have done it before on other older dishwashers in the past.
Turned off the breaker for the dishwasher. Turned off the water supply valve. Unscrewed the screws in the panel that hides the parts under the dishwasher. Unscrewed the screws anchoring the dishwasher to the counter. Slid the dishwasher out about a foot. Inlet valve was located on the front left side of the dishwasher. Unclipped the wire harness. Placed a cookie sheet under the water line. Unscrewed the water line from the inlet valve. Unscrewed the two Phillips head screws holding the valve to the dishwasher frame. Got the new part. Put the screws back into the frame. Reconnected the water line and wire harness. Slid the washer back into place. Turned on the water valve. Watched for leaks. Turned the breaker back on and started the cycle. Watched for leaks. Once I saw there weren’t any replaced the screws anchoring it to the counter and replaced the cover on the bottom. That was it! Took me longer to type out the steps than it did to actually do the repair.

Removed the clamp holding it to the floor and
removed the c-clips holding element underneath
and put new one in. Hard part was figuring out
what was holding the element but since I still
had the schematic drawing we figured it out.
Saved a bunch on a repairman. After watching
my friend install the new element I could probably
do it myself next time.

Under sink: Disconnected drain hose to garbage disposal, shutoff water feed, unplugged power.
Under Dishwasher:
Removed water feed connection.
On top of Dishwasher:
Removed screws anchoring it to cabinet.
Pulled dishwasher out and flipped down so it’s resting on the front.
Removed drain hose on drain pump.
Removed 3 torx screws on pump, greased o-ring on new pump and reinstalled doing the reverse of these instructions.
Took 1 hour and now it works great!

took it out of the bag and snapped it in. Less than 10 seconds.

The door seal comes off easy. No need to take apart the door. The new seal fits snug. Make sure the notch on the right side of the door seal is installed to the right side of the bottom of door

I just popped on a new Arm. So easy. The amazing thing was how fast I had the part and how easy it was to find on Partselect.com. I ordered the part Monday and had it Tuesday. I was stunned and the tenant was impressed.

Unplugged dishwasher, removed the 2 wires clipped to the heating element, removed both cracked nuts, replaced with new nuts from PartSelect, clipped on wires, plugged in and did a test cycle. Based upon service quote from Best Buy, I saved myself $125.00 for just the call out, not including parts and labor.

Replaced drain pump. It helped some but still hear some squealing. I suspect the main pump might be worn as well. The drain pump did have some "looseness" to it compared to the new part.

Remove the lower dish tray and set aside. Remove two Phillips screws on each side of inner liner, then close door. You should then be able to slip off the external facing (set aside). Pull lower gasket toward tub until fully removed. Reinsert the new gasket into the same tight slot, making sure that the notch inserts into the slot and the flexible gasket runs the full length of the tub. The gasket should bow out slightly toward the tub. Also make sure that the side seals do not interfere with the bottom seal fully mating with the floor of the tub. Close the door and check to make sure the lower gasket reveal is the same across the length of the inner liner. Reinstall the dish tray, then reinstall the external facing, using the same four Phillips screws to secure. Test sealing by running a short cycle on the dishwasher.

Snapped the new one on
