KUDU03FTBL2 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

To Prevent This Problem: Make Sure Your Utensils And Items You Are Washing DO NOT Rub Against The Door Seal When Pulling Out The Bottom Rack To Emptying The Dish Washer... The Original Door seal is held in place in a metal channel. To remove it you just carefully pull out the old seal. It is recommended that prior to installing the new seal you clean the channel and then put silicon sealant in the channel and install the new seal. Be nice and neat and just cut off the Silicon Tube Nozzle so about a 1/8 in bead of silicon comes out of the tube and goes into the channel. Make sure the channel is filled with silicon evenly (you get more than enough in the tube). Push in the seal so that it seats properly, and most importantly so that the ends of the seal extend past the ends of the channel. (I don't know why the manufacturer can't provide a new seal that is 3 inches longer than required, instead of 1 inch longer than required. Its easy to cut off the excess.)... Of course it takes 24 hours for silicon to fully cure and the curing process should be accomplished with the dishwasher door Closed and Latched. (Instructions are included in the repair kit) ...

Many thanks for the repair instructions. My dishwasher has a black plastic cover over the control board but it was easily removed. I did take a photo of the board before I started to use as a reference in putting thing back correctly. Being 70 and never having done anything of this type I was nervous but the machine was broken anyway so what harm could I do. It WORKS...

I watched the video on the web site and made the very simple repair. It was so easy that almost anyone could do it. Also, the parts arrived 2 days after I ordered them. The whole process was very easy and saved the cost of a service call.

snap it back in.

Follow instructional video from Part Select. Dishwasher is working nicely now. Many thanks. I must add that repair company wanted $480 for parts and labor to replace this and that, including motor. I declined and spent $46 for valve and S&H from Part Select and fixed it myself.

Removed the old valve after disconnecting the drain, water line and electric connection to get to the spot of the leak. Valve was easy to reinstall to power and filler tube, as were the hard connection to power and the drain, but when it came to aligning the copper water line to the valve with a compression fitting under the machine, it was impossible to get the alignment correct with the fine threads on the compression fitting. I loosened the valve from the frame and then was easily able to thread the compression fitting to the valve and then put the holding screw on the valve back in place. That knowledge would have saved me half the installation time and a lot of frustration trying to get the compression fitting to thread!

exactly as your great video suggested.thanks

So simple... Removed old basket & dropped the new one in. Perfect fit.

Read comments on-line here. Then removed both drawers, removed one screw from top filler tube. Gently pulled tube down just enough to remove small "button", after first putting a cloth over entire bottom of dishwasher to catch it if it, or screw, fell. Button goes in "pointy side" down. Squeezed new spinner onto button until it "popped" on. Replaced top screw, drawers and ran a load. Worked perfectly. Button was worn out. Would be nice if only button could be purchased.

Turn off power at breaker. Mine on same breaker as disposal. Removed the twelve torx head screws from inside of door (see the video on replacing the bi-metal fuse). Removed fuse from board, then removed spade connectors to test fuse with multimeter. Blown. Board is snapped in place. Remove the two plugs from the front side of board, the four plugs from the bottom and the ribbon cable. Used a screwdriver to gently bend clips holding board in place at the ribbon cable end of the board and lift out. Examination showed burned area around pin P4, the door neutral pin. Installed new board, re-connected all wires and ribbon cable. Installed new bi-metal fuse just like in video, reassembled door. Turned breaker on, ran normal cycle. Perfect. Wife thinks I'm a genius. Partselect saved me hundreds.

I had to pull the dishwasher out from the cabinets about 12" in order to pull the old seal off. Installing the new seal was quite easy, since there is no adhesive necessary. Start at the top center of the replacement seal and snap the groove of the seal which is hard plastic, into the mating parts of the tub and the tub trim. Its a little hard to explain, but pay attention to how the original seal (W10179427) was installed.

Lifted out the old damaged cap; replaced it with the new one. No tools needed. It took one minute. The company had the part sent out to us immediately; it arrived within a few days. The whole process of ordering, receiving, and repairing was super convenient.

I read information on this website about the function of the high limit thermostat. I found that it was the problem by disconnecting the two wires on the thermostat and straight wiring to bypass it. This allowed the machine to work properly so I ordered the high limit thermostat. To replace the part I used a screwdriver to remove the instrument panel and replaced the high limit thermostat by disconnecting the two wires from the old thermostat and connecting the wires to the new thermostat. I then replaced the instrument panel. My machine is working properly again..

First I shut off the power and the water then I disconnected the drain hose. Then I removed the dishwasher from under the counter and turned it up side down. I remover the pump retaining screw turned the pump, removed it. installed the new pump reinstalled the retaining screw. and reinstalled the dishwasher under the counter. I reconnected the drain and water then turned on the power. the dishwasher is working great. Thanks PartSelect for the fast delivery and the right part.

The dishwasher was so load I was sure the pump had a bad bearing. . . After reading the on line comments I examined the chopper and it looked ok. As it turned out the damage was on the shaft and caused the shaft to lock onto the screen without the ability for the spring to work it must have caused excess pressure making the loud noise. I replaced the chopper and now the dishwasher is very quiet again. To replace I took out the baskets and four screw on the big screen and one more screw on the chopper cover then I had to pull on the chopper with moderate force and install the new one . Then I put back the covers and basket. . . Very easy
