DU943PWKB0 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

My dishwasher was leaking out of the front, bottom of the door, when
it was in the was/rinse cycle. Upon investigating by removing the
spinning wash arm in the bottom, I found that a couple screws had
fallen out of the pump housing. There was also a gasket sticking out
in front , facing the door. I'm guessing the water would be forced out
in the direction of the door and squirt out from under the door. On my
model of Kitchen Aid, there is no seal at the bottom of the door.

I took the pump housing apart to find the lost screws underneath. I
also found another gasket sticking out of place. When I went to put it
all back together, The gaskets had been so stretched out of shape, I
couldn't get them back in place. I looked up and ordered new gaskets
from PartSelect.com. The parts were in stock when I placed the order,
but when they arrived, the main gasket that I needed was backordered.

I decided to reassemble the pump body by cutting the old gasket/seals
so that they would fit back into place. I positioned the cut towards
the back so that if it would leak, at least it would spray water away
from the door. It works fine now and the back ordered gasket/seal
finally arrived, but I put them in the package under the sink to
replace them at a later date as I've moved onto other projects now and
don't feel like opening it all up again now.

Remove retainer nut, remove arm, remove worn bushing, replace arm, new bushing and retainer.

Examination of the bearing ring revealed that it was extremely worn, and its replacement did not require any tools as it is held by a plastic nut with a large handle for manual operation - so the replacement takes literally 15 seconds, and the machine is now as quiet as it was when new

Dishwasher was broken. I bought a part. I put the part in the dishwasher. The diswahser was then fixed. Wheeee!

Discovered nut that holds spray arm had broken. Threads broken off inside pump. I needed to back the broken nut with screwdriver and then completed the rest of the removal with pliers. Reinstalled arm with new nut.

as illistrated..very clear...

I found the part on the parts display, but somehow ordered the wrong part. It was clearly wrong, so I ordered the right part and followed the instructions on the packing slip to get a refund on the first part. I got a refund promptly from PartsSelect to my PayPal account. The Instant Repairman video was very, very helpful. The video said that the water tube was held in place with a split ring, so just open the split ring to remove the tube. My plastic ring was NOT split and I could not remove the old piece. The video gave me confidence to take a pair of pliers and cut my plastic ring and made it a split ring. This little modification made removal of the old piece and installing the new piece easy. That video was perfect for the job! The comments from previous parts users show that they, too, had to cut the ring, and that the new tube was not identical to the old tube. No sweat -- it works fine!

Took wheel assembly off and put new ones on.

Performed repair as to Video shown in receipt after purchase of spring plus we used a friend who has same dishwasher and has performed the same repair recently, video was easier to follow though. All you do is push off lid with a screwdriver and pop off as per instructions on video then unlatch spring from ledge and pull off post, then just reinsert new spring in reverse order or follow video instructions either way is easy and takes about 15-20 minutes to install

I am a 65 yr old woman and I can tell you that this repair was really easy. Just watch the utube video and there you have it no need to hire an expensive repair person on this one :-}

slid the pin into place, noting correct position of spring, backed hinge pieces with screwdriver and pressed door into place. Your video made it easier than ever. ( My 2nd time replacing the pin. ) Great repair experience.

I looked at the diagram that was supplied from your website, and replaced the respective parts in the same position and order as was shown. Easy.

The top of the latch was broken on I had to push the plunger back through the mounting to get it out. ai had to pull the whole assembly apart to get the locking nut out. i remove the latch assy and took about 10 minutes to figure out how to put it back together. Changing it with the help of the video wasn't hard but confusing at times. Thanks for the video.

The repair was fairly simple and made easier with an installation video. The repair went well and there's no more leak.

Turns out it was just a broken nut due to a jam up with the lower spray arm .It was nice to find the problem , order the part , & fix it without involving my plumber son. The gentleman I dealt with on the phone could not have been anymore helpful ! It really was quite simple , But being 50+ yrs. old , it's nice to feel self sufficient. Also replaced the soap cover.
