DU1055XTSS2 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

Reviewed diagnosis suggestions and saw the motor and the chopper were over 60% of the problem. Initially opened up the area for the chopper (easiest of the two problem areas) to clear out any debris that may have accumulated. You do not have to remove the entire unit, just work in the inside bottom of the unit. Watch the video to see how easy this step is to accomplish. Chopper cleared and started dishwasher with same noise. Watched video on how to access and remove the motor and proceeded to disconnect and remove the unit, turned on side, removed the bolt and off came the motor. Unit was same picture as on the web site. Ordered part and once received installed, reinstalled unit and started..... NO NOISE!! This is a very easy task as you only have to watch the video and feel you are capable to doing this work.

Simple repair. Saved me hundreds

Reassembled lower access covers using the new screws purchased from parts direct, perfect fit replacement. Hardest part remembering how they fit Dishwasher.

I watched the video of how to remove and install the part. Instructions were good and easy to understand. The hardest part was getting the part to fit in the opening, I sprayed the rubber seal with soap to make it slip into place. The only thing I would add you need to wear gloves if your dishwasher is stainless steel. I have several small cuts on my hands, I got gloves half way thru the process. I also replaced the drain hose. It is working great.

I just snapped the old one off and snapped the new one on..

Double checked the model number , watched the video, ordered the parts . I got them in about three days , They looked exactly like the old ones. Proceeded with the disassembly just like the video explained and everything was going great.until I got to the installation part. The new unit would not fit in the sump. even though it looked exactly the same size as the old one. I worked with it every way I could, lubricating it and applying light pressure and finally beating the fire out of with a hammer and it just would not seat in the bottom of the sump. I removed it and reinstalled the old one and fit right in. So I removed all the parts out of the new unit and installed them in the old housing. From that point on the installation went well and now the dishwasher is as quiet as a mouse and so is my wife now. I did not have anything to measure the diameter of the unit accurately but eyeballing it with a rule it looked to be maybe a n 1/8" larger. So it appears to have been a tolerance problem. Not happy about that but I was able to get dishwasher going and the video was great help .

1. open dishwasher door to horizontal position
2. remove old rinse aid cap by turning counter-clockwise and pulling up
2. install new rinse aid cap by inserting (rotate as necessary to align guide features) and turning clockwise to close.
Done!

Changing the pump was very easy. The difficult part was disconnecting the water and electricity and connecting it back up.

Take out previous one and put in new one.

Cut wires to terminal block, removed bi-metal fuse. Rewired to n ew terminal block and snapped on fuse.

Followed the video. It works perfectly. Used a small paint scraper to remove stubborn scale where gasket seats. Used steel wool on door to assist in removal of rough scale.

Remove the old door seal by pulling it out. Take the new seal find the center of the new seal by lining up the ends so they are even. Push the new seal starting with the center you just found at the top center of the machine. Push it in to the slot as far as it will go going both to the right and they to the left so it stays even. At the bottom of each end cut the extra on a angle. Use a screwdriver to pry to old strike out and push in the new one. Your done.

Turn off electrical power. Turn off water supply. Remove upper and lower racks. Remove mounting screws from the counter top. Slide dishwasher out from under cabinet. In my case the water line, drain line and electrical supply were long enough where I didn't need to disconnect any of them. Turned the dishwasher on its side (on a towel), unhooked electrical plug from motor, removed 3/8" bolt w/ socket and extension, twist of the old motor, apply a thin coat of liquid dish soap on gasket of new motor, LINE UP THE ARROWS on new motor. Install and twist until tight. Replace bolt, plug in electrical plug. Reverse steps for removal. Youtube has some good videos. Watch them and you'll have no problem.

Ordered part , removed cover from dishwasher,pull wires from old fuse,pull wires from new fuse and plug wires from washer to new fuse,no need to cut and splice,this fixed my problem

The cap fit perfectly-just screwed it right in to position. Turns out I didn't need the gasket.
