Frigidaire 154701001 Dishwasher Splash Shield Kit OEM Part

The dishwasher is 4 years old, so I figured since it was leaking from the bottom, replacing the Tub Gasket PN: AP5690109, Splash Shield Kit PN: AP4338941 , and the bottom Door Seal/Gasket PN: AP5809675 was a good idea; the machine probably has around 1200 cycles in 4 years. There's no telling how much the door had opened and closed!? The bottom Door Seal/Gasket was badly worn, and the entire job took me around 30 minutes which included the detailed cleaning of the mating flanges. Take your time, it's an easy job...

I ordered the bottom door seal and the splash shield kit, just to be safe. I probably only needed the bottom door seal. The repair was pretty easy. It should have only taken 15 minutes, but I accidentally put the old part back on instead of the new one. I did a test run of the dishwasher and was discouraged that it was still leaking, since I had been optimistic that that was going to resolve the issue. It took me a good half hour of tinkering to figure out what I had done. Don't make the same mistake I did. Keep track of which part is which! Once I got the right part on, it totally resolved the leak. I was pretty happy with the final result.

Installed slash shield kit. Very easy and quick. Had to clean out the bottom splash guard.

I started looking at new dishwashers and was quickly disheartened with the cost of these simple machines. There's really not much to them and yet they're so much money for what they do. I popped off the pump and took a look at it and cleared some "gunk" and hair out but it didn't fix the issue. Jumped on AppliandPartsPros.com and ordered the pump on a Friday night and had the part in hand Tuesday night after work. Took about 10 minutes total (dishwasher out and back installed, literally in 10 minutes) and used a philips screwdriver to swap out pumps and for about 1/10th of the price for a new dishwasher, it's working nearly silent again.

I put in 4 new parts ad gave it a try. had water under dish washer about the size of a half dollar , I dried it up and washed more dishes and pots. No leak that time, and it has been doing fine since. I'd say water was just what was laying on the water lines and shook off. If you see water the first time don't worry wipe it up and use it some more to see if it leaks. GOOD LUCK!!!
