DU1014XTXT0 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

Purchased Bi-metal fuse and installed as per included instructions and video on site.

After attempting to change the "high limit switch" to no avail, I researched further and found that doing a reset/reboot cured the problem.The instructions for the high limit thermostat were a bit off, as there was no screw to remove, only a spring like bracket that I did not try to figure out. The work area is so tight if the dishwasher is not removed and tilted that I thought it best to look for alternatives prior to pulling it out and disconnecting power and water. So ... voila, it's fixed with a reset only. Reset is accomplished by pushing two buttons 5 times. "high Temp Scrub then Heat Dry, high temp scrub then heat dry etc, until you click them both 5 times.It will go through cycles for a few minutes, then after done, run the dishwasher as normal and test if fixed. There are a few different ways to do it depending on the model.

Followed the instruction that you provided with the part and har no problem. Took about 45 minutes

I replaced the old one with a new 75.00 part with no problem. However, when I looked at the old part I saw that the problem was simply the spring that opens the door was sprung. It just needed to be adjusted. That took a little more time to fix than the replacement job but had I known this before, I could have saved myself some cash. BTW that spring is attached to the hinge on the door. IMHO it needs to be a little beefier so as not to fail.

Disconnected the power. Removed the dishwasher mount screws from under the counter. Slid the Dishwasher out. Removed the two wires. Loosened and removed the two heater support nuts. Removed the heater element from inside the dishwasher. Placed the new heater element inside. Tightened the nuts. Attached the wires. Pushed the dishwasher back in place. Replaced the under-counter support screws. Reset the diagnostics message on the dishwasher front panel (This may not be necessary for some) - (Press HI TEMP > AIR DRY > HI TEMP > AIR DRY). All works great. Thank you PartSelect.com for fast shipping and great pricing.

I took it apart to look for foreign objects in the drain pump. Everything was clean. Decided the check valve in the connecting elbow of the drain tube was leaking, allowing water to run back from the drain tube into the sump. Ordered new drain tube. It came rolled up in a cardboard box for shipping, but it had been rolled the wrong way, so it had a bend in it opposite to the way it needed to bend for installation. I thought later I should have put it into some hot water in hopes of softening it and bending it the right way. Instead I just forced it into position. I finally got it hooked up, after a fight. Maybe the heat of the wash water will relax the stresses in the tube in time. -- I posted a question about putting the thing back together. Got one answer, rather snarky. It was clear from the answer that the responder hadn't understood the question at all. So I posted it in a simpler form and got another answer from the same source, again, condescending and rather sarcastic, but useful. -- Putting the dishwasher back under the counter was very difficult due to peculiarities of kitchen construction. But it's finally back in there and seems to be working all right. At least it drains completely now.

Removal and replacement of the gasket required no tools and took very little time. However, this did not solve the problem. I called in a repairman who determined the issue was the washer was not filling to the proper level. The control board was replaced and the problem was solved. This also quieted the washer a lot in that the pump was no longer sucking air.

I watched the video on your website, and I followed it to the letter. I find the service provided by this company extremely valuable to a person that is capable of doing his own repairs. Thank you, JAK.

Repair was straight forward. The video description was excellent. Pay attention to where the chopper assembly sits in the cavity, there is a second location closer to the impeller, but this is not where it goes.
