Yuan S San Ramon , CA June 27, 2014 Appliance: General Electric Dishwasher GSD3600G00WW The top level (3rd level as called by ge/appliancepartspros) spray arm fell off There is a plastic "snapping" feature (Two plastic tabs that when pressed together can fit into the holes on the spray arm. Once in there, the tabs expands and keep the spray arm in place) that comes out of the top onto which the spray arm is attached to. That plastic piece broke and the spray arm fell off. It wasn't clear how the snapping feature was attached to the top of the dishwasher at first. I was looking for a replacement for it and could not find it on any of the assembly diagram online. Then I came across a post on AppliancePartsPros that the piece comes with the 3RD Level Pray Arm Assembly. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/dishwasher-repair/32875-replacing-ge-3rd-level-spray-arm.html (Note, the part picture does not show the side which has the center hole and the snapping piece that clip to the hole). I have to pull out the dishwasher from underneath the counter top and unscrew it from the outside. Once that's clear, it was very easy to order the spray arm from AppliancePartsPros and just do it. It works perfectly. Read More... 18 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: 15-30 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers

Michael H Broomfield , CO April 14, 2017 The 15 year old dishwasher suddenly started leaking a lot of water I had to detach the top edge of the dishwasher from the counter, then remove the toe plate and lower the legs so the dishwasher could slide out from under the cabinet. I ran a washing cycle and observed...and when the spraying part of the cycled started, water started pouring out from under the insulation on top of the machine. (In hindsight, I wish I'd removed the insulation first. And I wish I'd had more towels ready. :-) The spray arm at the top was blocked, and the hose that fed it was cracked and leaking water. The replacement parts took 3 working days to arrive. When I received them, it was easy to replace the hose and spray arm. They fit exactly. It took 15 minutes. Then I ran another cycle to check the leak was fixed (it was!) and finally pushed the dishwasher back in and extended the legs to brace it firmly. In all, it took 60 minutes to pull out the dishwasher and find the problem, 15 minutes to fix it, and 30 minutes to check the fix and reinstall the dishwasher. And it only took that long to pull out the dishwasher because the leak warped the floor boards, making it initially difficult to slide out.
