FPHD2491KF0 Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

The video show a different model, the only difference is that the screws for the top part shouldn't be removed only the ones that hold the front. Replace the detergent dispenser once the cover is removed is easy. All works like brand new. Thanks.

The upper dish rack replacement is a direct replacement/exact fit. The only part needed to move from old/worn dish rack was the sprayer/tube assembly that is attached to bottom of dish rack. No tools required. Just push out and replace on new part.

Wheel, no problems

1. Watch YouTube videos, even though they're different model dishwashers. NOTE: all replacement racks are not OEM, they're cheap imitations, thinner material, not original design for holding dishware.
2. Replace rusted upper rack, rack simply lifts out; no need to remove rail end caps.
3. Carefully remove attachments from original basket ( no tools were required), be especially careful detaching the upper spray arm from the underside of the basket.
4. Attach previously removed original attachments (not all would fit because of replacement rack design). Attach upper spray arm.
5. Reinsert replacement basket into upper rails.

Less than 1 minute to remove old part and install new fence

Needed to replace detergent / rinse aid dispenser unit on the inside top of door.

1) Need to remove outer door cover / panel by removing just two (2) screws - bottom screws on lower side panel. Door panel will drop vertically 1" to remove it.

2) Mark and disconnect the four (4) wires connected to the dispenser unit. The connections were so tight, it required pliers and a screw driver to loosen them.

3) Dispenser unit has four (4) screws holding it in place. Unscrew them and remove unit through door interior - this requires a bit of angling to get it out.

4) Position new unit through interior. Screw in place.

5) Re-attach four (4) wires in same sequence as disconnected.

6) Re-attach outer door cover. This is the most difficult part and really requires two people. It consistents of two sets of guide channels that most be aligned for the door panel to be secured re-attached.. Once aligned, the door cover must be moved vertically about an 1" and the screws re-attached.

I removed and replacing the old dispenser.
This is located in the front door - dispenses both detergent and rinse agent - 2 compartments.

Requires disassembling the front door, removing the old dispenser, and installing the new dispenser, then re-assembling the door.

Open the front door
Place a folded blanket or large pillow on the floor in front of the dishwasher.

Open the front door, so it resting on the blanket or pillow.
Remove the (12) star screws.
This will drop the front of the door onto the blanket or pillow.

Note:
As you remove the screws, the inner part of the door will attempt to close abruptly, because of the hinge springs, and the reduction in door weight, so be cautious.
There are several wire connections between the the 2 door sections.
Note that the latch assembly at the top of the door will fall out.

Slowly close the inner door, while lifting the outer door at the same time, and setting the outer door vertically.

Close the inner door section, while setting the outer section vertically. Having two people is helpful here.
Disconnect the 4 wires going to the dispenser - note the color and position of each wire before pulling.
The connectors have a release, so squeezing each connector is need for it to come off.

Remove the 6 Philips screws from the dispenser.
Pull the old dispenser out from the interior of the inner door section.
Install the new dispenser. Screw into place.
Reattach the 4 wires.

Reverse the door sections re-assembly.
