66513742K601 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

Followed the video and changed it out in 20 minutes which did not fix the problem entirely, but I went back to the list of symptoms and watched a video on exchanging the Chopper assembly. I disassembled the interior and found broken glass and wire and string restricting the rotational functions. No replacment was necssary here, but a good cleaning was in order. This made it run like new and the glasses came out shiny again. These step by step videos have even made me think about becoming an appliance repairman. LOL! This is about the 8th time I have had success with Part Select. I have had no failures. Thank you for giving away all the secrets. YOU DEFINITELY HAVE SAVED ME AND MY FAMILY TONS OF MONEY!

Quick and easy repair--less than a minute for each row. The replacement tines are a finer gauge than the originals but fit the space well.

Removed the motor and installed the new one. Dishwasher works like new. The old motor was in vary good condition if the bearings and seal could be replaced. It is a shame there is not a place to send them for re-manufacture rather than salvage. The cost for new material and labor to produce a new one must be greater than re-manufacture.

After calling a repitable repair co. And they came out and sugested a new motor after I had already broken down the start of repair and showed him the bad part. He wanted $174 to fix the washer after I convinced him it was the food chopper. Well. . . After I through him out of the house and called part select, got may parts in three days saw the vedio on thier web sight and saved my self. . Or shough I say paid my self the $150 dollar sevice call and went out to dinner with my wife!!!! Next time I sure know what to do is . . . Call part select first and save my self lots of agravation!!!!

The hardest thing in installing the pump was pulling the dishwasher from under the counter. Once that was done and the mess with drain hoses and supply hoses was cleaned up, all it took was undoing one bolt to turn and remove the motor by turning in counter clockwise. the seal comes with the new motor and don't forget to reconnect the wire harness to the new motor on re-assembly.

I did the repair excately like the video said that came with a reply after my order

1.opened the door removed the two anchoring screws at the top of the dishwasher. 2.slid out the machine, layed it on its side on a towel for water spill. 3.unplugged the old motor. 4. used 1/4 inch ratchet with 6 inch extension and 3/8 inch socket, removed the mounting bolt. 5. twisted the motor clockwise approx. 1/4 turn and removed the old motor with impeller. 7. repeated reverse method to install.

Removed torx screws from rear of door. Openned door assembly and replaced board...very easy...about twenty minutes total. It's working fine and we're looking for years of additional service.

I cut the breaker and disconnected the in and out water lines, then removed the washer. Once on its side, I took it apart until I found what was broken. The chopper unit had broken and parts were sucked into the pump. After going online and finding/ordering all the parts, I cleaned everything and put it back together so as not to lose anything. When the parts came in,it was an easy job to replace the broken parts and have it back in use. The repair would have cost over $350 and my parts bill was less than $90. Thanks

remove top rack, discribed in video, removed bottom spinner,removed water channel to top, removed screwes in screen in bottom, removed 1 screw above chopper ass, used neadle nose plyers to remove chopper, rember to compress chopper spring to install. installed in reverse order..

Removed about 8 screws. (Needed a "star" screwdriver for the screws.) Pulled the front panel off. It was stuck in places to the foam sound deadening instulation sheet, but taking the putty knife and sliding between insulation and old front worked pretty well. A couple of large pieces of foam cracked off, but once the front was off, I just used duct take and put them back together, then put on new front. One thought....if you want the old nameplate, which in my case was "KitchenAide" it would have been best to lay the old front on top of the new front to see where the holes needed to be drilled in the new front, and put the branded plate on before installing the new front. The name plate had two screws as part of the molded nameplate, which passed through the front and were held on with two friction nuts on the "inside" of the front. It isn't really needed, but it breaks up the solid front and looks nice. However, in my case, I didn't think to do that. So.....I cut the screws off with a hacksaw, smoothed the back with a file, and used epoxy to glue it on the new front once it was on. The epoxy seems to be holding just fine.

Cleaned area around food chopper. Replaced food chopper.

Removed the screws under the counter, retracted the leveling bolt jacks, turned off power to unit, turned off water supply to unit and made sure that all the water was out of the unit. Disconnect supply and drain lines. slide out unit from under counter and put protection over the door then lay it over onto the door. unplug the motor remove the screw that holds the motor in place, turn the motor counterclock wise, wiggle the motor in a side to side motion and it will come right out.(GLOVES ARE RECOMENDED FOR THIS OPERATION). Use cooking spray or olive oil on the O-ring. line up the arrow on the pump housing with the arrow on the pump motor and put the unit back together in the reverse order. Test the unit with a operation of a quick rinse to check of leaks. This is a very easy repair.

I wanted to replace the black door panel with stainless steel to match our other appliances. The part ordered came quickly and in perfect condition. I removed the ten panel screws easily with a torx screwdriver and installed the new panel in about ten minutes. No problems!

Removed unit from counter. Replaced element.
