DP1040XTXQ3 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

Repair was easy. After readjusting the dishwasher so that it wasn't leaning forward (it still leaked) I replaced the Door Gasket. Pulled one end out about 2 ft and pushed in the new one as I pulled the old one out and pushed the new one in. Came out and went in easy, just used a big screw driver to slighting push the new gasket in to make sure it fit snug. Fit, Form & Function was all correct. Works like a sharm, no more leaks and door does fit snug when closing. All good.

Repair was simple. Pulled out the old gasket and pushed in the new one.

Ordered Rinse Aid Cap and received the next day. Placed in the dishwasher Rinse Aid Cap position and locked in. A perfect fit.

Checked to see if top spinner was clogged. All ok. Wanted to see if water was flowing from bottom. Checked a video to see how to remove parts to access lower area. Saw the problem immediatley. Clogged Chopper screen due to broken chopper blade. Ordered new chopper assembly and got it in two days. Five minuted to install. Washer works like new.

Estamated time was 15 minutes, it took me about 3 hours because everything was so cake up with detergent. Parts would not move. Video very helpful

Removed set screw from spray arm. Removed old bracket from washer basket. Attached new set screw in new bracket. Attached new bracket to washer basket. Done.

Ordered the gasket on line. Received gasket in 3 days. Removed old gasket by pulling out in one piece. Pressed the new one in with my fingers and it fit perfectly and now have no leaks. Very easy fix.

put new one in

cap was replaced

Old gasket was broken in places and old. Installing the new one was easy- no tools required. Just pull out the old one and press in the new one. Washer still leaks because door does not close all the way- need to figure out how to get it to shut tight. Maybe the latch is loose or worn.

I knew I needed a faucet adapter, but thought I could just go to my local home depot and get the part...not so much. After 3 trips and not getting the part I truly needed I ordered the part from partselect. I received it literally the day after I ordered it, screwed in place with no tools, attached the coupler/hoses to the faucet and washed dishes. I wish I would have ordered the part from partselect before even bother with home depot. I would have saved myself a lot of trouble! Extremely happy! Thank you!

repairman replaced the valve inlet; first website tried to tell me I needed a new pump, but repairman said it would be some type of valve; service rep on phone very helpful,I ordered the correct part,except for having to lay on the floor, he repaired it easily; part came within 24 hours. Worked immediately. No additional tubes or parts needed.

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..

Removed front cover, (8 screws) Removed 4 screws that hold the dispenser in place. Removed and replaced the dispenser, installed front cover and screws. Checked for leaks.

First and most important.. TURN OFF THE POWER! The control is powered constantly (both shock hazard and damage to the new part. Open the door, and remove the screws behind the plastic trim that houses the control (mine had six). carefully pull the trim forward (do not stress the wires). the unit is held in place by 2 or more screws (need small nut driver). remove and the unit lifts free. compare the new unit with the old, there are a couple of parts that need to be transferred. Disassemble the old unit; remove the cover holding the wiring harness (be careful; there are three tabs) push them away from the lock and pivot the cover away from the wires (save it for reassembly) Remove the wire plugs (I used a straight blade for this; pushing from the top. The control is labeled; put each plug according to the color. replace the cover. assemble in reverse order, make sure that any pins from the touch panel fit into the holes in the control. tighten replace the trim and screws, check that the door latch is working properly before closing the door. power up and run a test cycle. Not hard does require attention to detail.
