PDT760SIJ7II General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

So after noticing some horrid food waste build up in my 9 year old dishwasher, I determined it wasn't heating the water during the wash cycle. I came on here to check how to replace the heating element and was surprised when the flood switch was instead strongly recommended as the first repair step.

I ordered the part, and prep ...

The part swap and reassembly only took 5-10 mins or so after prep and dishwasher is now heating water and running great again. Many thanks to partselect.com for the detailed installation guides/videos and the parts recommendations!

It was relatively easy to fix. I unscrewed the mounting screws from the cabinet, slide the dishwasher out to access the pump under the dishwasher, I did raise the dishwasher on the left side and steadied with a stool to make access to the pump fitting easier. Then I loosed both clamps at the ends of the hose ie. from the dishwasher pum ...

I placed the hose in the hose holders on the side of the dishwasher slid the dishwasher back into place and secured it in place with the mounting screws.

Simply pick the basket up to slide wheels onto axles and push in until they lock in place.

My son did the repair, I ordered both latch and striker, only needed the latch...only took him a few minutes to remove the old and install the new and works just fine

Looked up the replacement part on YouTube, watched a video and followed the instructions. Part ordered was the correct part and the video showed how to access for replacing. Watched a different video for hooking up the disconnected springs that allow the door to lower and close smoothly. Whole process for repairs was less than 30 minut ... Read more es.

took off 2 sheet metal on the bottom, lowered the dish washer, pulled it out enought to unscrew 2 screws, unplugged the old part plugged in the new, put it back together.
Works like a champ.

Super easy repair, just removed the old latch and replaced it with the new one.

I replaced the flood switch following instructions shown in readily available YouTube videos. In short, you remove the coarse and fine filters, then take out the bracket holding in the flood switch and finally the switch itself. After replacing the switch, the dishwasher works normally again.

Removed old seal and replaced with seal #WDO8X23477. Seal went in well but it was supposed to have about 2” left over on each on the bottom to curl towards the tub. According to instructions with stainless tub this did not so it still leaks some. Old seal has 2” extra at bottom. So did not work for my application.

Replaced latch

The replacement went extremely well, the removal and installation of the unit from the cupboard took more time. The pump came off easily, I had to purchase a steel band clamp to replace the crimp clamp that was on the original pump as I did not have a tool for the crimp clamp.
