Terry B Sacramento , CA January 31, 2017 Dishwasher wasn't cleaning well spots and food still attached kind of problems My daughter and I went to Youtube and found an extremely well presented video on how to clean our exact make and model of dishwasher. We live in a newly rented house, new to us, not new. The dishwasher was an unholy nightmare of filth, clogged filters, calcium deposits coating and blocking in literal heaps, discovered when taken apart. The miracle really was that the dishwasher cleaned at all. We cleaned and scraped everything thoroughly, the fine filter and the sump filter as well but decided replacement was the appropriate measure, not least that these were the only 2 filters. I want to pause here and say APPLIANCE PARTS PROS ARE ROCKSTARS OF SHIPPING! I mean put others to shame, make me believe in magic kind of ROCKSTARS OF SHIPPING! I place an order in the afternoon IN California (I've done this twice now), by nightfall it's shipped and the next day it arrives FROM Kentucky! Are you kidding me? This is regular ol' shipping. I didn't expedite, I didn't Rush. I just said Ship. You guys are AWESOME!!! Oh! and the dishwasher has happily regained it's cleaning efficiency. Parts were perfect, fit correctly and function well. We are quite happy. Read More... 82 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers

Kevin W Rochester , MA January 20, 2016 $1000 dishwasher didn't clean dishes Our GE was installed about 8 years ago and was AWESOME for much of its early life. However, progressively its cleaning ability diminished. By replacing all the spray arms (clogged with debris), filters, drain hose, and sump...this dishwasher cleans like it did when it was new! Cost was around $100 (also replaced a wheel and the silverware basket) and labor was relatively simple. And to think...my mother-in-law said, "Wouldn't it just be easier to buy a new one?!?".

William B Weston , CT November 14, 2014 Appliance: General Electric Dishwasher GSD6200G00BB Insufficient cleaning lower spray arm metal separated from unit I replaced all the spray arms. The "Filter Fine Assembly" extrusion was improved to eliminate the washer rubber which deteriorated over time. Everything works fine and the dishes are now spotless.

Beth S Grand Rapids , MI October 12, 2015 Appliance: Model GE TRITON DISHWASHER Dishes were not getting clean Decided to replace the fine filter assembly and along with it the lower and middle spray arm. I have tried cleaning these with a tiny brush and was able to remove some gunk out but they do not come a part so thought it best to just start with new. The filter and lower spray arm were easy to just take off and the new just fit right in. The middle spray arm part was a little different then the original. It comes with a new metal screw and washer and a plastic part that is attached to the bottom of the upper rack. You have to remove the old part that is held on by one screw and attach the new part so that the spray arm fits. Not sure why they would change it since the old set up seemed fine but you have to either take the whole upper basket off its track and out or try to work upside down. I opted to take the basket out by prying the plastic end pieces out of the track and sliding the basket out. It was an easy fix and now my dishes are clean with out a film and dirt residue left on them.
