DDT575SMF5ES General Electric Dishwasher - Instructions

Open box...remove old rack from dishwasher...roll in NEW rack. Done!!!

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

Replaced motherboard, parts select,very helpful in helping diagnose problem! Exchanged parts, credit account after returned parts. Great customer service All good stuff! They brought their A game for this diy-er...

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 prepped the dishwasher for the repair (Pro-tip: Clothes pin attached to the bottom of the flood switch wiring harness ensures it doesn't slip down below the opening during the part swap!). 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!

Replaced lower spray arm.easiest repair ever saved tons of money doing it myself

Simply unscrewed the old damaged arm and screwed the new one on, took less than a minute

Put new basket in, threw old one away

The base of the spray arm literally just spins a little bit into place like a luer lock. Takes two seconds to replace.

Took off the door and separated the two door pieces. Unscrewed the old dispenser and replaced it with the new one.

I followed the U tube instructions already put out part select.

When new gasket arrived almost two weeks after it was sent out from Green Bay, I took out old gasket, marking which side was in and which out.
Then, with hands, fit new gasket in place making sure it was centered.
No leaking; it worked.
Thanks.

The repair instructions were great and the repair went well. The repair took less than an hour.

Thank you

Followed the instructions on the video, it was pretty straight forward. It was helpful to know what to expect before hand like removing accumulated water in the drain before removing the flood switch so as not to have that water drain under the dishwasher. Knowing to have a nut driver with magnetic tip was helpful in removing and reinserting the screws. all in all it was pretty easy repair.

Simply removed old gasket by hand, lined up center of new gasket (white dot was printed on the center of new gasket) with the tub latch and pressed new gasket into place. We have used the dishwasher about a dozen times since and hasn't leaked a drop.

Opened the box took the rack out and placed it in the dishwasher. Good as new.
