Works great again. I saw the picture of the part on the website so I knew I was getting the right part and watched the video to see if there were any shortcuts. Easy job.

Hobert H Clayton , NC July 17, 2014 Dishwasher emitted high pitched squeal sound during wash cycle Checked for debris in the drain area, taking off the screen to check it. Found some, and alleviated it for a couple of washes but it returned. Researching the web led me to believe it was something in the drain pump/motor, though the water did drain just fine (no kinked fill hose, etc. ). I ordered the part from Appliance Pros (I had previously had great luck with a drier temperature overload relay replacement) and used their video to walk me through the very easy process. The old one had a housing loose at the bottom as it turned out, so I saved that as an emergency backup if it does it again (it's only five years old). Replaced the pump per the instructions, no squeal ever since!

Pierre L Wilmington , NC February 27, 2021 Appliance: Frigidaire Dishwasher, Built-In FFBD2408NS8C Lights would turn on but dishwasher would not start. Complete silence. Changed the motor kit by the video guidelines. That was easy - video did not leave any details unexplained. But washer would still not start. Then heard a mild crackling sound around the door latching mechanism. Changed the door latching mechanism and by taking that appart, found that the plastic casings holding the electrical connectors to the latching mechanism were black/molten. So gave a call to AppliancePartsPros and was advised to cut connectors off and replace with part AP5642027. This fix worked out perfectly and the washer is working again. The phone help was priceless. Thank you, Michael! Read More... 11 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
