KUDU03STWH1 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

I removed the unit from under the counter and replaced the plastic and connecting cords to the springs, a ten minute job. The cord on the dishwasher is not made to take the strain and will break after some years of use. The kit came with all parts to repair the problem and there is a video on the site if you have a problem.

I removed old hose and replaced it with a new one and reinstalled the dishwasher.

Very easy repair. Just used a cordless drill driver to remove the nut on each pulley, replaced them and that was it. One of the easiest repairs I have ever done. Had to pull the dishwasher our far enough to reach the pulley on each side. Part only goes in one way so you can't screw that up. :^) Tip: Used a lockgrip plier to pull on the spring while I attached the cord to it. Not required but made it easier.

i found this website,and it told me that 60% of the time it was the bimetalfuse. i watched the vido to see how to install it, pretty easy,so i ordor the part. Two days later my dishwasher was up and running. thank you partselect,you saved me a hole lot of money. yours truly marc

I had to unscrew the float valve and just screwed the other one on and that was it! I saved my self like $300 for someone to come in.

Turned off the circuit breaker to the dishwasher. Removed the screws inside the door to open the control panel. Located the thermal fuse. Removed the wires from the thermal fuse. Using a multimeter verified the thermal fuse was open. Ordered the replacement part from part select. Order was placed on a Saturday evening. Part was at my door on Wednesday morning. Using the previous method to access the control panel, I removed the thermal fuse and replaced it with the one received. I choose to replace just the thermal fuse and not cut the wire and splice in the new wire that came in the package. Replaced the control panel, tightened the screws. Dishwasher has worked great ever since! The actual replacement of the thermal fuse took less than 15 minutes. I'd hate to think what a service call and repair would have cost me compared to doing the repair myself.

shut power at breaker. removed control panel and fuse. cut the wires close to the fuse. installed wires in connector. put panel back on. turned on power. hit the cancel button, the water drained. dishwasher back in action.

My handman did repair

I checked on line and found evidence that my problem most likely was the failure of the circulation Pump Motor. I ordered the motor from Parts Select. When it arrived, a small section of the housing was damaged. I called for a replacement. The customer service agent was very helpful and the replacement arrived in less than 24 hours. I followed the video provided on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjRxJy2IUE8 and the one on PartSelect. Both videos helps provide greater clarity for the whole job. The hardest part of the replacement was disconnecting and reconnecting the water supply line. These were my steps. 1. I turned off the electrical power and water supply. 2. I removed the screws holding the dishwasher to the counter top. 3. I removed the two screws holding the bottom access panel. 4. I moved the dishwasher out about one foot and disconnected the water supply line. (Fortunately I didn't have to disconnect the power supply and drain hose because there was enough slack in these lines.) 5. I moved the dishwasher all the way out from the counter and moved it over on the its side. 6. I removed the bolt holding the motor and the motor shield. 7. I removed the connector supplying power to the motor and removed the motor. 8. I removed the inside screen, cleaned and replaced it. I also wiped the other surfaced with a clean rag to ensure a proper seal for the motor. 9. I also applied vasaline to the rubber grommet on the motor to ensure against leaks. 9. I aligned the arrows on the new motor housing and impeller housing and installed the motor as shown in the videos. 10. I reinstalled the motor shield and retaining bolt. 11. I reconnected the water supply, stood the dishwasher upright, turned on the water supply and found I needed to tighten the water supply connection a little more to stop a minor leak. 12. I ran the dishwasher through a rinse cycle to ensure it worked properly and that there were no leaks around the newly installed motor. 13. I reinstalled the dishwasher under the counter top, reinstalled the screws holding it to the counter top and replaced the lower access panel. While this took me a few hours, it was well worth the effort because a repair person wanted $500 to do the job. Thus, I saved well over $300 after paying for the motor. Good Luck with your repair job.

To adequately access the drain motor pulling the dishwasher out was required which was the hardest part. Once the dishwasher was out and laid on the back, replacing the motor took about one minute(Very easy, one clip and a small electrical plug)

Found your website ordered part and received it in 3 days. Took less than 15 minutes to install. Will keep your website handy. Thanks.

I did the repair on the Whirlpool Dishwasher(Quiet Partner II) as shown on the instruction video. With this particular unit you may only have to remove the top 6 screws. The video was excellent in directions. Hardest part to me was shaving the wires, i mistakenly cut them when removing the outer covering. But was a little worried after completed because it cut off again after i first turned it on. But did a second time and it actually completed a wash. And have been working fine for past 13 days. So far so good. Just for someone to look at it and fix was going to cost me $269. I completed job myself for 30something dollars with expedited shipping. So you do the math... Thanks Part Select. Love the website set up.

Replace feed tube with 3rd level spinner - no tools required

Removed two screws that hold the dishwasher in place with screwdriver. Pulled dishwasher out, connected balance kit to hook on door, ran cable through pulley system, hooked cable to one end of spring, and used pliers to stretch spring to hook it in its hole. Slide dishwasher back into position and replaced the two screws.

Repaired before, several years ago. Your on-line video was useful none-the-less. I appreciated it.
