KUDS30FXSS1 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

the delivery time was terrific for the first thing. I placed all the parts out on the table and the instructions were very direct and simple to follow. it took more time to figure out the removal of the old plastic parts, but was very easy after you find where to place the screw driver to open the side cover and let the old adjuster fall apart. The new parts went in as directed by the directions, and pictures, very simply and it only takes a few minutes to complete and reinstall the top rack in the dishwasher. I was very pleased with all of the service.

Basically I just had to look at the instructions that came with replacement kit and follow the directions as shown.The included pictures for the kit were not very clear. Poor quality ! That being said, this install went very smooth, The directions were easy to understand and I had this dishwasher back up and running in no time. It was a pleasure to actually get this unit fixed so quickly. Thank You !!

bought the adjuster kit and the hardest part was taking off the old pieces. the new pieces went on very easily and smoothly. I am a female that has done a lot of house projects and this was not difficult at all.

First of all, the initial manufacture of the shelf rack rollers was substandard, and I replaced the left side less than a year ago, and both left and right side failed (rollers came off, causing shelf to drop down....not good!) When I "reordered' the parts the second time, I was pleased to see a "kit" was sent to replace "both" sides! Smart! I needed no tools, replaced the right side in 15 minutes, and the left side in 3 minutes. Much better than original parts! Thanks guys!!

It was so easy! Broke of the already broken supports and followed the easy step by step instructions with pictures.

Turned off the power at the breaker, turned off the water supply, disconnected the water line, removed all three racks, pulled dishwasher out from under the counter, laid the unit on its back, removed the flat plastic water lines from inside the dishwasher, disconnected the hose and all wires (plugs) that were attached to the motor & pump assembly, removed three plastic wedges that held the pump assembly to the bottom of the dishwasher, tried to remove the motor & pump assembly from the inside of the dishwasher but it wouldn't fit through the hole, removed two parts from the motor a silver cylinder with two wires attached to it and a white plastic piece with copper wound wires and magnets in it so that it would fit, once the entire assembly was out removed one screw that holds the motor to the plastic pump assembly, twisted the motor counter clockwise the pulled it straight off, after installing the new motor I removed the silver cylinder (maybe a capacitor) that was attached to the motor leaving the two wires attached to it so that the assembly would fit through the hole in the bottom of the dishwasher, cleaned the rim of the hole and the rubber gasket on the assembly, put the assembly through the hole in the bottom of the dishwasher, installed the three wedges to hold it in place, then put it all back together. When I ran the dishwasher it was as quiet as when it was new.

Changing the pump was very easy. The difficult part was disconnecting the water and electricity and connecting it back up.

Searched YouTube and followed a YouTube video step by step. YouTube had the exact same part replacement instructions. Paper instructions were difficult to read, but YouTube repairman takes you through procedure with closeup video.

Pretty easy for the parts. Taking the dishwasher out is the hard part. Typically, you should be able to unscrew the 2 screws holding the dishwasher to the underside of the countertop and then slide out the dishwasher to expose the cable assembly - but you also need to unplug the unit (unless it is hardwired), disconnect the hot water supply line from the angle stop (remember to turn off the angle stop) and sometimes disconnect the drain line from the vacuum breaker or garb disposal. You need to disconnect these things so that you can move the dishwasher out far enough to be able to see the entire right and left sides of the dishwasher. Once that hard part is done, you use a hex driver to remove the old cable pulleys, put on the new cable pulleys, and then feed the light weight cable through the pulleys - the end with the big plastic thingie attaches to the door and the other end attaches to the spring. Then you grab the spring and manhandle it onto the back end of the dishwasher chassis (look for the small hole in line with where the cable would line up. Careful as the spring attachment step could result in an injury - Hope this helps.

Pulled the dishwasher out and removed the plastic pulley on the bottom of the unit. Installed the new pulley. wrapped the string assy. around the pulley and attached it to the spring and reinstalled it to the back of the dishwasher. We discovered the front bracket on the dishwasher door was bent slightly causing the string to rub and probably is what caused the string to break. We bent the bracket back into shape and reinstalled the dishwasher in its cavity.

just move the machine out and replace the string. this site is very reliable and and great company. since the dishmachine door cannot be closed, we first order door strike, ,,,, still doesn't work after installation. and return all parts and order the balance kit, now works fine after. we appreciate your help

Popped the old clip out, replaced with new.

I watched my son as he pulled dishwasher out part way. The space was a little tight, but he did a fine job of replacing with a new string.

Trial and error

I watched this Youtube film: And it was really easy!
