no problem...those instructions should do the trick. would you agree that BOTH units developed a leak at the same time?

any tricks to replacing either the vent or dispensor

Lastly....the top nut on the lower spray arm...should that have strong plastic 'shoulders' across the top of that nut. the one on their now has a very weak/appears to have been rubbed down to almost nothing.

thanks again Gene

It is possible.

Nothing special. Just follow the instructions and use common sense.

As long as it holds the spray arm in place it's fine.

Hey Gene,
finally able to get back up to the mountains and effect the repair. Have to admit putting the handle rod was a challenge...but didn't see any leaks.

Still not sure why the soap dispensor was leaking...that gasket seemed just fine other than a bit of calcium buildup. I'd have thought a bead of silicone would have done the trick?

Anyway, the new on is in....what to do w/the old one? It is worth anything...eg replace that gasket???? didn't run a continuity test across the terminals.

thanks again Gene...you saved me a bunch of $$$

Yulp I have the same problem! And Here is what the problem is- the end of the replacement gasket, Manual part 49, if you notice, is a straight cut plastic edge. The original part has a gasket on that edge therefore sealing off the bottom outside edges stopping the leak. at the moment I am searching for an original gasket design. If I happen to find one I will post a link.

I too have a Frigidaire FDBB4365FBO leaking from the bottom front door. Initial thought was gasket, because there is a gap in the gasket/seal - but the photo of a new one reveals the same gap in the middle. What else can I check? Machine is only about 3-4 years old.

My Frigidaire dishwashwer was leaking, and after removing the front panel I could tell that water was getting past the bottom door seal. So I replaced it, and it's no longer leaking. However, I can see that water is still getting past the bottom door seal, just not enough that it actually exits the bottom lip. See video: https://goo.gl/photos/bX4ky5E58c3nR8RM8

Is that normal?
