JDB1270AWY Jenn-Air Dishwasher - Instructions

Just replaced with new basket. Fit like a charm!

Took old one out And placed new one in dishwasher.

opened door---- took out old basket--threw it away. set new basket in its place!!!!

In order to clean the screen I had to remove the impeller. Removal required using a wheel puller. I backed off on the impeller screw but left it attached so that the wheel puller could pry against it. I then tightened the puller enough to free the impeller. I was then able to unscrew and remove the screen for cleaning.

Removed the old one....slid in the new one.

Turned off water at the shutoff valve. I did not turn off the power, but it is recommended you do so. I pulled the dishwasher out from under the cabinet and used a car jack to lift the front off of the ground. Disconnected the water supply and the rubber hose that fills the dishwasher tub. There are two 7mm screws that hold the water pump to the frame. If you do not have a 7mm socket, the easiest thing to use is an interchangeable screwdriver. When the screw bit is pulled out, the empty screwdriver is a 7mm. Used adjustable wrench to remove the brass water port for the supply line. Teflon tape to all connections and hooked everything back up. My supply line was old and was leaking, so I had to run out and get a new one, so that added about 30 minutes to what would have been maybe a 20 minute repair.

Remove the water distributor, filtration plastic parts down to the base of the tub and clean of debris. Sometimes a small piece of plastic from the upper glass tray can break off and find its way into the bottom. Once its cleaned this section and be put back. Had to remove the unit from the cabinet and replace the drain motor and also cleaned the drain hose that runs to the garbage disposal. Most times this problem is caused by a blocked drain line or debris in the bottom of the tub constricting waster water from getting into the drain motor.

1. Remove both upper and lower dish trays
2. Remove the “Spinner /Sprayer” (small nut on the top)
3. Unclip the “Tower” from the top and rear clip
4. Remove the “Tower” from the unit
5. Remove the “Filter Guard” on the bottom by removing 3 torx screws
6. Remove the “Discharge Housing” & “Impeller” (1 – 15 torx screw)
7. Remove and replace the “Accumulator Filter” (8 – 20 torx screws)
8. Assemble in reverse order

I followed the instructions here on PartSelect to dismantle and put the new impeller in to place. Could tell the difference just in sound alone once it was running.

Followed the instructions to dismantle all the way down to the motor. Replaced the stripped plastic shaft with the metal one. Clean dishes every time.

Pulled dishwasher out far enough to get at the original hose. Disconnected and drained the hose. Connected new hose, zip tied the hose in place, pushed dishwasher back in place and re-anchored. Zippidy do...piece of cake. Perfect fit.

PULLED OUT DISHWASHER . REMOVED THE IN SIDE RESTRAINING BRACKET. ON OUT SIDE IS WATER FILL BOX THAT GASKET MOUNTS IN, REMOVED, REPLACED WITH NEW GASKET REINSTALLED RESTAINING BRACKET ON IN SIDE AND PUT DISHWASHER BACK IN. JOB COMPLETE EASY.

Snapped new wheel on

It was very simple and easy. I opened the panel inside the door; total of 8-10 screews. The latch has two electrical connections and switches. The replacement part I got came with an extra set of switches. Replacing the switches needed an electrical tool which I don't have so I decided to keep the old ones. It is quite easy to take out the switches and replace the latch. I should have taken out the power; but I did not. I was just careful handling the wires et al; no big deal either. My dishwasher is working fine now. I was able to fix it within $40 and 1 hour of effort. Any technician would have cost me atleast couple of hundred bucks + parts etc.
