KPDI620T3 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

Simply popped on new axles and wheels and dishwasher works like new!

Very, very simple. The axles are nylon plastic and snap into the plastic-coated metal grid that forms the lower dishwasher rack. Over time they get brittle and break.
Replacement consists of snapping the old axle out of the rack and snapping the new one in. I replaced some of the wheels at the same time, as we had lost them. The wheels don't seem to wear out, so if you did this repair in time, you could re-use the wheels.
These little axles are EXPENSIVE ($3.50 each!), but for $30 you can replace all eight of them, and your dishwasher rack will work like new again!

After checking for blockages in the drain line and finding none, I disassembled the wash wand assembly and discovered a gasket that had really deteriorated. Since there was nothing else apparently wrong, I took a chance and went shopping for the gasket. None of my local stores could provided me one so I searched on line and found it at Partselect. It had to be special ordered and that took a while, but when it arrived, I put the new gasket in and had a perfect dishwasher again for less than 15 bucks. The schematic I was able to print from your website was invaluable.

I was trying to avoid having to buy a new dishwasher before the holidays. I went on YouTube and found the dirty dishes may mean bad water inlet valve. So, I used my meter to see if the valve was bad and sure enough it was. I ordered the part from Part Select. Once I received the part I removed the old one. Be sure to put a towel down to catch the excess water. The bracket that came with the new prt was a different configuration, but i swapped the new with old and it worked. I addition to the valve being bad the dishwasher upper and lower arms were somewhat clogged. I looked online again and followed YouTube instructions to clean. The dishwasher is cleaning like it is new. I would recommend to anyone doing work on their dishwasher to use part select and thoroughly clean the upper and lower arm.

I simply removed the broken wheel brackets and snapped new ones on. then the wheel just sliped on. It took some good hand strength.

While replacing the water valve I broke the float switch. Ordered the switch....it was here in 2 days. Great service! Will use this company again....I hope not all that much. lol
I am a retired Sears service tech, but not a dishwaher tech.

Removed the door cover and replaced the bi-metal.

Just followed directions included.Am extremely pleased with the appearance of the new panels they matched my new appliances.Also I did not pay for express freight but received my order in only two days.Very pleased with Part Select.Thanks Al S

used screwdriver to remove roller axle. Snapped on new axle and wheel. I ordered two extra sets just in case future wheels brake. simple. 16 Year old dishwasher works fine!!

unscrewed 4 screws on top panel and 2 on bottom panel... real easy fix.

Very easy. Disconnect power to the dishwasher via a breaker or fuse. Open the door and remove just the 4 screws on the inside lip of the door. Do not remove the screws hoding the closing brackets. Remove the front glass and chrome panel between the control panel and the kick panel. This will give you access to the soap cup and bi-metal. Remove the one retaining screw and remove the bi-metal,taking note of the position of the wires. Remove the wires, by grasping the connectors (I used needle nose pliers for this), not the wires, and re-intsall them on the new bi-metal. Re-install bi-metal on soap cup assembly, "cock" the release lever by closing the soap cup cover and manually trip the bi-metal to make sure it will release the lever and open the cover. Re-install the front panel with screws. Restore power and test appliance.

Easily one of the easiest repairs I have ever done. The new bits snapped into place and now the bottom rack rolls in and out like brand new.The ease and speed of finding the parts was really helpful. This is an old model and to be able to find the exact parts I needed so fast and so cheap was great. Oh and they arrived the day after I ordered them! Insanely fast!

Pried off broken axles, replaced with new ones & snapped on new rollers.
