KDSS21A KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

Removed bottom cover. Opened the door to take pressure off old springs. Removed the both old springs,with pliers. Replaced with the new springs. The new springs are not adequate for our heavy door.Our door has a wood, cabinet matching cover. The door falls down, if not held firmly. The springs are not as heavy duty as the old ones.

following the repair video made it super easy. thanks!

Order one new latch, receive 2 spares. Pushed new latch in, re oriented the catch. was done in less than 5 min

Purchased new hose from you guys - it came within a few days at a very reasonable price ($17, incl. shipping). Pulled the upper tray out, pulled out the old hose (underneath the upper tray near the rear end) and installed the new one. Once I had the new part the whole repair took about 5 minutes - It was a simple friction fit, easily done by hand. The dishes are sparkling clean now, just like the old days, and the machine is much quieter! Delightful experience! And doing it myself probably saved me at least $150 I'm sure.

This dryer refuses to die and I am happy to keep it that way. Door latch was replaced in less than a minute using this kit. Easiest repair ever.

Slipped screwdriver on top and bottom of catch and pullef out. Pressed new catch in plact. Job finished.

Slipped on the new tube. It was a tight fight, but as it should be.

Removed two small screws on door edge, pop out broken part, insert new part, replace screws. Took 2 minutes 18 seconds. Nice to have various door catches in the Kit. This was a repair on a 1979 Whirlpool Dryer. Great price & service!!

Followed instructions of previous users; removed the old tube, applied dishwashing soap to ends of new tube for lubrication and "slipped" on. Also replaced bottom strainer which had deteriorated. The parts diagrams from PartsSelect were very helpful.

Our make/model was not on the online instruction, but it was similar. Ours had a glass (plastic)front window in the door. To remove the top catch you had to take out the top four screws that hold the door together (philips head screws) allowing you to pull back the gray plastic strip to access the top latch, then replace it like in the online directions using a needle nose pliers. The bottom catch, once the two remaining the screws were out gives you access to the bottom catch. Remove it with the pliers and snap the new ones into place. You can completely take out the window when you replace the bottom latch if you want.

Just pulled the old parts out on door latch and put the new ones in. Thanks Parts Select for your prompt response and easy process for order and shipment.
