FFBD2408NW7C Frigidaire Dishwasher - Instructions

Pulled off the old gasket and replaced it the same way with the new one.

Simply took the old one out, and put the new one in.

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!

I simply had to take the replacement rack out of the box and put it in the dishwasher. I was sent exactly the right part, as ordered, and had no difficulties at all.

My dishwasher started leaking at the beginning of the summer. We didn't know what to do, but didn't want to call an appliance repairman. Towards fall, a friend came over and pulled it out and found the heating element brass nut which was broken. We put it back in and washed dishes the old-fashioned way for another 3 months after that. I asked at my local hardware store for the part, and thought about trying one of those big-box do-it-yourself stores but never got around to it. Finally after getting sick and tired of doing all the dishes in the house by hand, I found your site, and the part I needed and ordered two (just-in-case). A few days later, we got the part, I pulled the dishwasher out again, screwed on the new nut by hand and put it back into place. We're in business!

I measured the length of the gasket, using the old one to measure the length. Cut it to that length and installed it. VERY SIMPLE TO DO! But it didn't stop my leak--turns out there was a small leak in the bottom of the tub that was easily fixed with some silicone. The dishwasher's like new now!

My brother in law installed it for me. There was some difficulty finding the right angle but once we realized we needed to start at the very right side it went well. So far no more leaks.

Easy repair. pulled dishwasher out, disconnected electrical wire for safety but don't think it was required since the breaker was off (turn it on and flip the breaker for verification). Pulling the pump and replacing was easy, soap dispenser, same, easy. First time I ever worked on a dishwasher, simple. Parts were all OEM parts and most importantly were the correct parts I needed. Way cheaper than replacing the unit and I saved $150 on an hours worth of work vice paying the service guy.

Easy

While trouble shooting the issue, noticed that all switches worked and there was sufficient power going to control board but still nothing working. Ordered new control board and with only a Phillip's head screwdriver, I was able to remove cover and control board to replace. DW works like new after the repair.

Eventually broke off old heating element to get it out

Isolated the leak and found the nut had split thereby allowing a loose seal and water penetration. Ordered 2 nuts just in case the other goes and the installation was easy. Unplug the unit, remove baseplate, remove screws under the countertop, and slide the unit out a bit. Use needlenode pliers to remove terminal connection and replaced nut. Reverse it for assembly. 3 minutes tops $6 later it is done. Easy money saved by a DIY.

I thought these were OE racks they are not. They did do the job. However, I like OE parts the difference is exactly where the fold over rack on top rack goes the tines were not there to clip on it into there was a larger gap. So it was almost the same except the most important area. Same for the cone that clips in the center of the top rack. It is not as tight a fit front to back as it should be so it moves around more. I was concerned that the jet of water from top would miss the cone but it seems to be ok. So far so good. The racks did the job dishwasher is still cleaning dishes. But aftermarket parts are almost the same just not quite the same.

Just unscrew the sprayer top, which Is 3 pieces, but should be one. Take new part, which all 3 pieces come as one piece, screw to the inside top of dishwasher and all done.

The first sensible thing to do is to find the circuit breaker for your dishwasher and switch it off so as not to short anything (or yourself) out. Next, remove the lower piece of metal bracket from beneath the door by unfastening the two sheet metal screws (a nut driver or a screwdriver will do the job), taking note as to how it comes off so as to facilitate replacement. Some will recommend loosening the screws at the top from beneath the counter and pulling the machine forward a bit to gain access to the sides but, if you have a small enough hand (as I do), you can just reach in there and and hook the spring into place. I didn't want to risk loosening any plumbing! You'll need a flashlight to see where the ends connect. And, if one spring is still intact, you can reference that to reassure yourself you've got it right. I was able to stretch the spring out by hand and hook the thing to that little plastic gadget that pivots when you open the door. That's it! Button her up! You're done!
