KUDS01FLSS3 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

The PartSelect video was quite good. I viewed it before ordering to determine if I was confident that I could do the repair and reviewed it again immediately before performing the repair as a refresher. Here are a few extra items of information: (1) There was plenty of extra length in the drain hose and electrical connections, so I only needed to disconnect the hot water supply before pulling the dishwasher out from under the cabinet. (Be sure the circuit-breaker is opened and test for dead on the dishwasher electrical supply.) This simplified later re-connecting and tightening and dealing with drips. (2)When I tipped the dishwasher onto its side, a bit more water than expected drained from the sump out onto the kitchen floor. I put 2 2x4 blocks under the dishwasher side to prevent the insulation from getting wet. (3)When loosening the 3/8" retention bolt and shield, I needed to use a flexible screwdriver shaft and a nutdriver socket on the end of the flexible shaft, since a brace under the dishwasher prevented a straight-on approach. (4)The guidance on the video showing the amount of wiggling to remove the old impeller/motor was valuable, since it provided confirmation that some repetition of the twist and pull motion was needed/expected. (5)Finally, it can be helpful to carefully track which is the old motor and which is the new, since if one inadvertently places them next to each other, the only identifiable difference may be a small amount of water in the old impeller assembly. (One would hate to inadvertently re-install the old motor.) Re-assembly was easy and straightforward.

Very simple repair when you're supplied with the proper parts. Their delivery time is exceptional !

1. Removed lower dish tray. 2. Removed old gasket by pulling it out. Came out easy. 3. Cleaned gasket track of food particles with toothbrush and rag. 4. Found center of new gasket and installed new gasket by starting at the top center and work around track pushing gasket in until seated. 5. Tested and no leaks.

Easy to find part online, quick delivery, new part had different end but site claimed it fits my brand/model and it DID! One of my few true "five minute jobs"

it about 30 min to replase this part it was easy as pie.

Followed instructions in fuse kit.
The fuse had been replaced before, so I did not have to cut wires.
Repair was successful, dishwasher operational.

I found the problem when I found one of the torque screw partially out. The door was not closing properly. The heat blow the fuse. I removed the head were the control board is found and replaced it with the new kit. When you add the new fuse kit. It is needed to cut the old wire from the old fuse and adapt the new wire harness by stripping the wire . Then screw the wire tight to the adapter. And it's done. Also make sure to test the cycle of the dishwasher ,by timing it. All came out good. It's operational.

Forget about trying to lube these hinges! This is a "known problem" relating to the nylon cord and pulley configuration. The real solution is to replace this faulty part and it's really easy to do... check out KitchenAid site for help.

Remove inner door cover and replace fuse. Wire harness was not needed.

At first I thought that it was the feed tube but after some more thought I started diging and found the chopper broken cleaned the screen and got water to top tray so I ordered the chopper assembly and now it works fine

It's very easy to repair. You put the new parts back in the same way as you took the broken parts out. You receive 2 screws instead of the orginal push in clips that hold the parts together. The screws are very easy to put in but you will need a Torx head screw driver.

I removed the screws holding in the dishwasher and pulled the unit out. The broken door balance link was removed from the door balance. The door balance was removed from the dishwasher with a socket and replaced with the new balance. The new door balance link was hooked on the door and threaded through the balance, The spring was hooked into the back of the dishwasher through the frame. With the pliers the hook on the spring was grabbed, extended and the hook on the spring was fished through the door balance link. The process was repeated for the opposite side.

I unscrewed two plastic covers to get to the chopper. I found out that the blade fell off and could not be put back in place. As a result the filter behind it was all clogged. I replaced the whole thing with the new one and put the plastic covers back in place. The dishwasher works like a charm. The hard part was that the screws have proprietary heads, so it is hard to screw/unscrew them with a regular screwdriver. Other than that the exercise is trivial.

1st I had to check out what needed to be replace. After checking this web site for things gone wrong on my model. The top listed thing was the motor module for the ice maker. I went with that and order part. Once part arrived and it took 5 days. I remove old module and installed new module in about 20 minutes. 4 hours later I had ice again. The best part about this whole ordeal was the module was 40% cheaper from PartsSelect.Com and the info on here from everybodys feed back makes it easy to find the real problem. Thanks! Mike

removed toe kick, took off old hinges and replaced w/new and improved
