Dishwasher was leaking out of small gold nut
The nut was split down one side, so I first tried to sauder the nut back together. Saudering never goes well for me anyway, but I couldn't get a good enough seal around the nut to make it fit tightly. Then I had to cut off the clear plastic shield to get down in there, just before realizing you could just pull the white wire firmly and it would come loose from the nut. All I had to do then was unscrew the original nut, and screw on the new nut. Then, luckily I had mistakenly ordered an extra clear plastic shield and could replace the one I had previously cut. Dishwasher now runs like a charm!

Dishwasher was leaking
I turned the power off at the circuit breaker. I then took the access panel off the dishwasher at the bottom. I pulled the wire off the connector. I used a plied to remove the broken washer and replaced with new part. I put everything back in reverse order and ran the dishwasher. I than checked for leaks over two days while the machine was running and everything was fine. Thank you Parts Select for saving me $500!

Handle assembly for dishwasher broke
After being told by a repairman that it would be cheaper to replace the dishwasher than to fix the handle I found this sight. When the part came in I simply removed 6 screws for the control panel. Once that was off the handle assembly was connected by two screws that required a different tool (allen wrench). I removed those screws unplugged the 4 contacts that connected to the old assembly. Plugged them to the new part and reversed the process with the screws. Works like it is new and I am oh so glad to prove the repairman wrong!!!

door won't spring back up to close
New right away when we heard the sound, the spring broke. Easy to replace, pull dishwasher out from under countertop, usually held in place by two screws into countertop. Remove screws, pull out dishwasher. Close door, springs will now have the most slack in them. One spring located on each side. Remove spring from one side and replace with new spring to ensure proper spring placement. No actual tools needed as spring rests on a bracket attached to door and other end of spring goes through hole in bottom of dishwasher rack. open door to test for tension as there are several holes to choose from. .

no lights on the front of the Frigidaire dishwasher
I ordered a PS12365196 BOARD from PartSelect that arrived in 2 days, a few lights came on but still did not work, next I called back to get the PS8689162 Control Assembly, (this took another 2-3 days) this has the buttons on the front that usually light up when you set up and run the dishwasher. Still no luck so i had to try and understand this as there really isn't much more to the control of the device. Went back in, by now I can take this apart in about 5 minutes, replaced the original control board and it stared right up! Called PartSelect and a few minutes later confirmed the return of the 1st part which did not seem to work. Got to go as my email just arrived with return instructions...

Original hose needed replacement due to leaking holes
The replacement hose was not as long and the original and therefore did not fit into the track made for the original one. Though it was long enough to work, an additional 4 inches would have been an exact fit.
As a result, the replacement had to be duct taped to the side of the dishwasher to hold it in place. Otherwise, the new hose was of better quality that the flimsy original. All in all, I could have picked up 3 feet of rubber hose from an auto parts or hardware store cheaper and done the job just as well, if not better.

Dishwaser just would not start. Indicator light were flashing.
Figuring the issue was the Control Board, I ordered one. ($90) When it came I installed it...SAME problem. So I took it out and reinstalled the old board and it WORKS. Apparently some connection was not right and just moving the conectors by taking them in and back out twice fixed the problem. And FYI, since it is an electric part it is NOT returnable once it s been installed!

Leaking dishwasher door
For some strange reason my new dishwasher was installed without a door gasket, which caused a very small water leak. The gasket I purchased was installed in less than 5 minutes and corrected the problem immediately - a very easy task and I am no handyman!

Spray arm came off and melted mon heating element
Takes longer to open the machine and remove the lower basket than to do repair.
Snap arm and support together, align and twist in machine to lock in place.
Save yourself some time and buy the support. High risk it can be broken while being removed from the arm. I am glad I purchased a new one and didn't take the risk.
