Peter G Niceville , FL October 18, 2016 The dishwasher was severely covered with calcium and lime the glassware and silverware were coming out with a lot of spotting I used lime away, vinegar, finish washer cleaner none of them worked. Finally just use Brillo on the entire cabinet interior. It came out very clean. Only needed very light scrubbing. Then replaced the severely corroded filters Riser tube and upper jet which was not turning. After this the upper arm turned perfectly silverware and glassware and silverware came out rinse very clean. Will do preventative maintenance in the future.

Dennis T Ridgefield Park , NJ January 22, 2016 Appliance: General Electric Dishwasher CDW9380N20SS Not thoroughly cleaning dishes I disassembled the upper wash arm water supply tube and wash arms, inspected, and cleaned out the tube and water jets in those arms that were blocked with debris ( lemon and orange pits ). Installing the upper wash arm supply tube with the hub fitting required that I tighten the mating fitting from under the dishwasher . This was required because, when I installed the new tube and fitting in the machine the first time, the fitting was about a quarter to a third of a rotation too loose with the upper fitting lined up for the take off position for the water tube. So keeping the upper tube and fitting lined up while tightening the lower mating fitting ( above the motor) was the solution . I was going to use just the tube ( when I originally started the repair ) but I broke the white plastic retaining snap on the original hub fitting when disengaging the tube from the hub fitting. I was grateful that the new tube came with the hub fitting as an assembly. Also note that the original hub fitting was tight before I disassembled it. Thank you for your prompt delivery of the service parts and your service videos that showed what to expect when servicing this machine.

Mike G Weatherford , TX July 12, 2015 Dishes were not getting clean Upon inspection I found some the lower rack wheels had come off due to the wheel studs breaking. Also the upper wash arm retainer clip had broken. I replaced these parts along with a new silver ware basket which was allowing silverware to fall through and stop the wash arm from working.
