FDPC4314AS Dishwasher - Instructions

Never worked on a dishwasher before but quickly learned that on this particular one, it's only this thin little brass nut that tightens down the element from the underside of the washer. If not tight enough, water drips right down onto the electrical connections. In this case water began to drip and the heat from the electrical current began melting a clear rubber shield thing. Luckily I was home during the cycle and figured out the problem. Great website that seems to have all necessary parts for my washer. Quick shipment!

Orderd new gasket which arrived extremely fast, old gasket just pulls out , installed new one same direction as the old gasket fit, stopped leak. Thanks!

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!

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.

removed old gasket by hand, installed new gasket with hands only. p.s. great doing business with you,thanks.

After removing the 4 torx head screws the cover and stem assembly was removed. The new piece was installed and screws were tightened. That is all it was to it. A very simple repair! Thanks.

The 'kick plate' had to be removed, and the feet had to be raised to lift the unit over the floor. the old spring could not be found, and while lying on the floor my husband had to 'feel' for the attatchments to hook up the new spring. The unit was then pushed back and the legs dropped and the unit attatched to the counter. All fixed - - thank you PartSelect for having the right spring.

Fisrt, I opened dishwasher door. I then pulled out the lower rack & put new part in place and pushed in lower rack. Last, I closed dishwasher door.

Removed front panel and eased out screws holding the dishwasher in place. Lowered the door and removed old springs. Replaced the springs and sit the unit back in place. When they are this old it is best to replace both springs. Rated easy...,

Had a leak, due to the factory gasket was 1/2 " to short. Pulled out old one, installed new one, and trimed to fit. Took less the 5 minutes.

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

merely snapped the part on

My Son used needle nose pliers to remover the old gasket, then starting on the lower right side, inserted the new gasket and used the rounded end of handle of a wooden spoon and pressed the gaste in place by running the handle up and around the top then down the left side. Used sissors to cut the new gasket to length. Door fit very tight. Ran a normal wash cycle and no leaks.

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

Replaced spring on door
