FDPC4221AB3A Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

All you have to do power down the unit, then disconnect the power connections at the element and remove the old nuts and replace them with the new ones and tighten. Don't tighten too much, the element has a rubber seal that just needs the nut to snug it up.

My future son in law did it. Looked at instructions on the app for the part. Didn't take very long.

Just pushed it onto the rod that held the old one

Watched installation video and followed directions. All went smoothly.

Uncomplicated repair. Remove door, remove old dispenser, install new dispenser.

Took me about 2 minutes to repair, no tools to repair, very easy installation repair!

Just pulled the old gasket out and popped in the new. I did trim it too shrt however so be careful not to do that.

Pulled the completely empty bottom rack out, popped the old spray arm off, popped the new one on, and replaced the basket. Easy peasy. One of the easiest repairs possible IF it fixes the problem. (We had an older model Fridgaire dishwasher with this type spray arm versus the one that came in the new one and it worked great for 12 years. Falling back to it in a fashion was a logical attempt at a solution)

Just repaced it in less than a minute.

Remover the cracked heating element with the new heating element.

First remove the kick plate.
Then look with a flashlight & mirror to make sure which, the spring and or the Spring Linkage are broken.
With the door open, to have less tension on the spring, replace the spring and or the spring linkage.
Attach the kick plate

Checked your videos and found the lower spray arm damaged (nubs worn down). Previous owner had some work done and didn't reinstall the parts properly. While during the repair, I also decided to replace the Detergent Dispenser and make a new spray shield. I guess the previous owner decided one wasn't needed.

Easy install, no noise.

I pulled out the dishwasher and found the inlet tubing had a tear in the accordion part of the tube. I searched online for the model number and was directed to PartSelect. I ordered the inlet tubing, and it only took a few days to get to me. I then watched the video and was able to install the new tubing.

PartSelect is a life saver and I saved lots of money by not having to call a repairman.

I followed the steps on YouTube.

Removed the screws holding the dishwasher in the counterspace. Pulled it out far enough to re-attach the new spring, scoot it back in place, and put the screws back to hold it in, and attach the plate to the bottom that was taken out first. Good to go.
