GDF450PSR0SS General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

Took out the old and swapped out the parts from the old one and put them on the new rack. Looks great and works great.

1. Take a picture of the old rack in the dishwasher! Just in case!
2. Remove rail channel end caps and place them on the tabletop on the correct side to make sure you put them back on the correct side.
3. Remove old rack.
4. Carefully snap off the water sprinkling unit. (carefully push down tabs so they don't break).
5. Using your picture as a reference (!) snap the water sprinkling unit on the new rack (it's easy).
6. Put the new rack back onto the rail channel and replace the end caps.

Done! Very easy installation ! Rack was not nearly as expensive as I anticipated and was delivered quickly. Note: You get the rack only. All ot the other parts are from the old unit.

Slid out old part and slid in new part!!! Yup that easy!!!!

Super easy repair. Took off the spinning arm, removed the Diverter Assembly (no tools required), and reassembled.

Parts diagram shows Striker can be popped out with screwdriver. Not true. It has a screw bolting it internally. Impossible to get to unless you disassemble the entire door. We took a power drill and small drill bit and bore it out like a cavity in a tooth. Needle nose pliers to extract the screw. Pretend your a dentist. Fixed it in 5 minutes. Replacement fit tight. A+

Replaced old rack.

Removed lower rack, slid in new Rack.

I simply followed the video instructions and replaced the rack myself, no tools required. Easy peasy

- Shut off breaker to dishwasher
- Shut off water to dishwasher
- Disconnect dishwasher drain hose at disposal
- Remove kick panel
- Remove junction box cover and disconnect wires
- Loose dishwasher mounting screws and slide dishwasher out
- Disconnect water inlet while sliding dishwasher out
- Flip dishwasher on its back
- Disconnect wash pump
- Rotate and pull to remove pump
- Install new pump, use small amount of dish soap to lubricate the seals.
Reverse order to install. There is a video online by another vendor for this exact job, but they included a lot of unnecessary steps. I did follow that video at first, and then realized that I didn't have to do 60% of it.

Part was incorrect Compare that to GE site saying number on both ports to different parts try to return was half the course of what I paid ridiculous So apparently I'm stuck with it Check GE site you'll see the port is different from what your sound but the numbers are exactly the same No clips to support the utensil tray

Quite simple. Only disassembly/reassembly was the spray mechanism attached to the bottom of the Upper Rack. Snaps off old and on to new rack with no tools. On this dishwasher model, there is no hose assembly running to water port, but the spray assembly is instead a integrated tube with a male port that "plugs" into a female port on back of unit. Definitely get 2 end caps.
Only difference from original, is the design of the bottom rack. To fit such that the door closes, the silverware rack is at the back of the unit versus the front. Somewhat inconvenient. Can put silverware rack in front, but then less efficient for dishes.

the part is OEM and fits like a glove. No worries. There is a minor variation in design and is not like for like design but fits exactly per specs and works. I have been looking for this part for years now. Thank you for PS for maintaining the inventory.

Piece of cake! Slide old rack out, slide new one in. I wish I had known about this website sooner, would have changed this rack out 2 years ago. Yes, it’s a little different shape than the old one, and Yes, I can no longer put my silverware on the door. BIG DEAL! I would rather move a few dishes around than spend $700. on a new dishwasher. Tell your friends about this website, that will thank you.

The Control panel wire harness got caught in the door hinge, got pinched and the Red wire got severed, I cut through the black protective mesh and reconnected the red wire, to prevent the wires from being damaged again I moved the wire harness over more to the left and secured it with tape.
