WU4400V2 Roper Dishwasher - Instructions

Very easy. Slide the dishwasher out a few inches, install spring per the good instructions, and slide the dishwasher back. Service was amazing. Part arrived just over 24 hours after I made the on-line order. I will use Part Select for all my future appliance parts needs.

Had to clip the part onto the upper rack. It was a little tight at first, then all of a sudden it just snapped in. Voila, as good as new.

Tried using my hands to bend back the locking plastic connectors enough to get them onto the metal upper storage rack;was afraid of breaking the connectors so I used my utility tool needle nose pliers to give me leverage. This time I was successful. Believe me,it was frustrating for what seemed a long time. No,for me it was not easy.

My soap dispenser latch was coated in grit, the gasket was deteriorated, and the spring was barely strong enough to open the door, so the door didn't always latch closed or open when it should. I followed the video and everything went exactly as shown. Once the liner was removed, I discovered the back (including the latch mechanism) was covered in soap residue and other gunk. I hosed it off on the backyard and resumed the repair. The dispenser now latches easily and opens with a convincing SNAP. I wouldn't have known how to replace the latch without the video. Great website!

Put on new door, making sure the spring was set to flip the detergent door open in order for the detergent to properly do the dishes

Performed repair as to Video shown in receipt after purchase of spring plus we used a friend who has same dishwasher and has performed the same repair recently, video was easier to follow though. All you do is push off lid with a screwdriver and pop off as per instructions on video then unlatch spring from ledge and pull off post, then just reinsert new spring in reverse order or follow video instructions either way is easy and takes about 15-20 minutes to install

This Whirlpool model has the water inlet valve located in the front left of the dishwasher. It was not necessary to remove the dishwasher from under the cabinet. Disconnect the power at the breaker box and turn off the water supply to the dishwasher. Place a towel under the Valve as there will be a small amount of drainage from the water lines and the Valve when disconnected. After removing the front plate on the bottom, I could easily access the 2 screws securing the Water Inlet Valve. Disconnect the water lines on the Inlet Valve and the power connection. . Mount the new Water Inlet Valve, re-connect the water lines and the power connection to the Valve. Turn on water supply and check for leaks. Turn on power.

1. Turn off the electrical switch that powers the dishwasher. 2. Open the door of the dishwasher and find the two phillips head screws that secure the top of the dishwasher to the kitchen counter. 3. Remove the screws. 4. Gently move the machine side-by-side a bit while pulling it out onto the kitchen tile (be careful, the water-supply hose, electric cord, and dishwasher drain hose may not be long enough to allow you to pull it out very far - don't break or kink the hoses). 5. Remove (pull off) the black plastic fastener located on the bottom/rear of each side of the dishwasher. 6. Remove the old surround. 7. Lay the new wrap in place and secure with the two plastic fasteners. 8. Push back into place, secure the two screws, check your hoses.

I ordered door cover kit #4387043. It comes with new door cover (lid), new pin, spring, latch and snap. Two problems I encountered was 1)with the spring - there is a trick to replacing it. I had to look up how to put the spring on properly. Go to YouTube and Partselect "Dishwasher Repair - Replacing the Lid Spring (Whirlpool Part # 8066018) " will show you the trick. Was a cinch after I knew the trick. 2) you must take door apart to replace snap that goes with the latch, so you might want to replace the detergent door first and see if that solves your problem without changing the latch. It is workable, but I had to go on line and look for diagram to put back together. Just frustrating but for less than $20.00 solved the problem. Good luck.

Turned off water and power. Used small nut diver to remove two upper screws from kick-plate, and loosen two screws in lower key slot of kick- plate. Removed kick- plate. Used plier to compress snap ring and remove hose to washer. Pulled off electrical connector. Used 5/6 wrench to remove copper water inlet. Used nut driver to remove two screws holding old valve. Once out removed the water connecting elbow from the old valve and installed it on the new valve. Reversed process to reinstall. Didn't even have to remove washer from the counter. My 25 year old washer is working like new again.

Turn off the breaker to the dishwasher - there will be water very near the motor and other electrical components. I first scooped and towelled all the water out of the bottom of the dishwasher. The drain valve can be accessed from the bottom front of the dishwasher without pulling the unit out from under the counter. There were 4 screws to remove the 2 bottom metal panels. Next use pliers to loosen and slide back the hose clamp connected to the drain. Have a towel ready and pull the drain hose off the white check valve. The check valve can then be removed by unscrewing it - you may need to use pliers. Put the new one on and everything back together.

Removed cover and broken spring ,installed new spring and cover.Did it all in less than 10 minutes

I simply looked at the remaining spring to see which notch it needed to be attached to. I went in very well using a long needle nose plier. Works great.

I installed the opener spring in the direction it was needed to open the door then installed the pin. I placed the door in the position it goes and took a pair of pliers and squeezed the pin into the pin slot. the spring has to be forced into a tension position. I did this by sliding the spring to one side and forcing it into position, the other side is done the same way. works great
