Opened package from Parts Select. Removed Silverware basket from package. Opened Dishwasher. Inserted Silverware Basket in rack. Closed Dishwasher. Discarded shipping package. Told wife I fixed Dishwasher. Sat down & had a beer.
Ordered the part, by using the diagram on the ge website identified the part and ordered it right them and when it came (delivered really fast) took it out of the bag and screwed it in the jet dry despenser and is working great.
