This guy is a legend. He’s the video for every washer type on every official video…

[eg]

I disassembled mine and couldn't figure out how to put it back together, Thank you! 😊

[smarzig]

That snap had me tripped up. Finally got it

[travisgowryluk]

Thanks! Don't know why I couldn't figure this out. Its so simple

Hi, my 10 yr old, frigidaire dishwasher model fdb 520 r hs2 would fill but the arms wouldn't turn/spray. Watched your tutorial.
And that 1 little trick about the quarter turn getting out the bottom nozzle really worked! But I hadn't taken it apart in 10 years. Oh my gosh! the hard water buildup....can't tell you what was in there !! 😮disgusting!😳
Cleaned it all up reassembled it after two hours of tutorials and scrubbing the hard water build up off to the best of my ability. Running vinegar through it now but the top arm still doesn't spin. Any suggestion on removing/ cleaning the waternozzle in the top that feeds water to top arm? Thank you..

[Chickenwafflecakes]

is this the same as a food trap/filter? or is there another finer filter cup below the soil trap?

[callipygian]

For some reason mine will not simply lift up. I think there is some debris (left behind by the previous tenant) that is getting in the way... and I am not trying to replace it, just clean it. I'm afraid if I force it, then it will just break and then I *will* need to replace it :(

simple steps to see how to do melted sprayer too!

[unctarheelsfanlife]

The sprayer arm support locked in for him. Mine doesn’t and so when the sprayer spins it moved with it and the sprayer falls down.
