DF240161 Gaggenau Dishwasher - Instructions

pushed with thumb pressure and snapped rollers into place.....EASY

replacing the sensor was simple, just unplug and turn it out, but didn't solve the problem, it's a float sensor that doesn't show up on the tech sheet in the dishwasher or anywhere in troubleshooting on the internet I could find.

Went to on line video and followed it. The old gasket came right out and the new one fit right in. Started at the top middle and worked the gasket in on both sides to make sure it was evenly spaced.

I removed the old gasket easily, it pulled right out. I spent a few minutes cleaning the gunk out from the seam using a standard kitchen cleaner (it was gross and I had to do it multiple times). Tip: pay attention to the shape of the gasket and which side faces in vs. out when pulling out the old one. Also, for reference, take a photo of the old gasket and how it's positioned before pulling it out. Then, simply start at the bottom (either side) and insert the new gasket. Work your way up, over and down the other side. If it's facing the right way it'll go in very easily, if not is will be very difficult—this is how you'll know. After installation, run your dishwasher empty for a full cycle (with towel underneath the door) and check back frequently during the cycle. If there are no leaks you're done. This was the fastest, easiest way to attempt to fix a leaky door and eliminate the gasket as the problem (which it did!) If the machine still leaks the issue is likely something bigger.

have had same problem many times under extended warranty pump was changed by factory and installed wrong it was jammed in so take out there is a realest lever and twist clockwise install buy twisting counter clockwize

There were 5 rollers still in place so I used them to show me how to snap the replacement roller in place.

I bought replacement wheels.
I put them on the post, and they snapped onto the vertical post very easily. Job done.

The repair was extremely simple. Just lined up and popped them on. No tools needed.

Tried the door lock first. Did not fix the problem.

Replaced the drain pump and it fixed the problem.

Parts Select identified the pump as the most frequent problem.

Next time I will order both parts when one is cheap for any repair.

Find Parts Select is very helpful. They have identified a problem with a washing machine in the past.

I will use them for future problems.

Removed old discharge pump and replaced it with the new one. After four attempts the dishwasher worked once. This cycle continued for the next 3 attempts then it stoped all together. Ordered the sensor, installed it snd the dishwasher still doesn’t work! Now what do I do???

when you receive the drain pump and you are ready to install make sure you put VASELINE around the rubber Gromit that will make putting the drain pump in very easy, also to give yourself more space to remove and install the pump remove the front door panel.
It took me 20 minutes from start to finish

My Bosch dishwasher is approx 11 years old. It was leaving water in the dishwasher pan at end of the cycle.

I replaced the drain pump component, which is accessible by removing the lower front panel. It is not necessary to remove the dishwasher door panel to access the pump, but may help with accessing the pump if you have difficulty getting it to come loose.

On the initial install of the new pump, It wasn't fully seated so it dropped a bit. Make sure the pump is fully inserted (push on it or use a bit of Vaseline on the rubber). Once fully seated it no longer dripped and the dishwasher is now draining properly.

Steps
1. Shutoff power at breaker
2. Remove lower access panel at front of dishwasher
3. Remove filter, drain and retaining clip from tub, empty water from tub with sponge or baster
4. Unplug drain plug wiring connector (small clip on right)
5. Twist old drain pump unit clockwise to remove
the old unit (have a towel ready to catch any water left in the tub)
6. Connect new pump to wiring harness
7. Insert the pump at 2 o'clock position, ensure it is fully seated (see note above).
8. Twist pump counterclockwise until it locks into place. The pump should not wiggle and be firmly connected to the unit.
9. Replace tub clip, drain screen and cover
10. Turn power back on, run cycle to test for operation and leaks
11. Reinstall lower access panel.

Followed the video on your site and it was an easy install with no more leakage.

Followed instructions from YouTube.

Popped the new one right on!
