61-1120-23 Tappan Dishwasher - Instructions

I snapped on the new roller and bingo! problem solved.

Two rollers on the lower rack were missing and one was flattened. I popped off the bad roller and snapped the three new rollers in place, all by hand. Took about 60 seconds.

I removed two screws that hold unit to countertop,
just pulled out unit about two inches. Removed broken door springs. Installed new door springs and pushed unit back into place and installed the 2 countertop screws DONE.

In about 20 minutes, I was able to remove the front panel and access the springs. Besides a hard water line in the way, it was a snap.

I had to replace the door gasket but it would not go in very easy..So I put the gasket in a sink of warm water so it would be more pliable. Then it went on fairly easy.

The parts arrived 20 hours after ordering -great service & the parts were just like like the removed parts only new. The old door gasket was pulled from its groove & and the new gasket was installed witout using tools. No more leaking water.The door spring installation wesa bit more difficult. The front bottom was removed with a nut drive, the broken springs were fished out, new springs were pull onto the arms and the cover put back in place. Not a bad job for a crippled, one-eyed 82 year old man.

merely snapped the part on

Fisrt, I opened dishwasher door. I then pulled out the lower rack & put new part in place and pushed in lower rack. Last, I closed dishwasher door.

This could not have gone easier! As long as you get the proper parts it's a piece of cake. I wish everything was this easy!

Installed New rollers onto bottom rack. Part order & delivery were top notch from Partselect. Will definitely order from them again.

I ordered a new door gasket and door spring. I unscrewed the two screws that hold the dishwasher in place and pulled it out. I pulled the old broken spring off with pliers and installed the new one ,,,very easy. I then took the new door gasket and soaked it in hot water in the sink for 15 min. That made it very soft and pliable to work with. I used pliers to pull the old gasket out then cleaned the area around the old gasket where crud had built up. I pushed in the new gasket working from top to bottom one side at a time. Turned it on an ran through a cycle and it works perfect now ,,,no leaks.

Both heating element brass nuts had a split in them. They had fallen off the heating element and were hanging on the electrical wires. I removed the wires from the heating element and removed the brass nuts from the wires. I then screwed the new nuts on the heating element and reattached the wires. problem solved. I want to thank you for having the parts I needed as Sears had discontinued them for this Kenmore appliance.

First I checked the water solenoid with a multimeter. Then traced the problem to the timer.
I removed the screws that held the panel and timer onto the door. I replaced the timer and panel. It was a lot cheaper than buying a new dishwasher.

Rollers just snapped on the diswasher rack. Took just seconds to do.

Removed lower panel; unmounted fill valve assembly. Installed two springs. Remounted fill valve assembly and reinstaslled the lower panel. Door must be in a near closed position to gain access to the door "L" spring brackets.
