DU1055XTVS1 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

This doesn't get easier; pull off the old leaky gasket, open package of new gasket, and replace gasket. Done! Good as new and no need for a service call by an expensive repair service.

You need star bits! Removed top three screws on the pump housing, removed two screws from the tubing to the upper wash arm, moved the lower part of this tubing to the right to reveal a hidden screw. Pulled all out and removed screw and a cover to get to the chopper assy cover one screw and a little pressure from a flat screwdriver because the plastic pieces were held together with dried detergent. Pulled out old , which was covered with plastic,which broke unit, and restricted water intake. Replaced all in reverse order,O.K. now!

it about 30 min to replase this part it was easy as pie.

I unscrewed two plastic covers to get to the chopper. I found out that the blade fell off and could not be put back in place. As a result the filter behind it was all clogged. I replaced the whole thing with the new one and put the plastic covers back in place. The dishwasher works like a charm. The hard part was that the screws have proprietary heads, so it is hard to screw/unscrew them with a regular screwdriver. Other than that the exercise is trivial.

At first I thought that it was the feed tube but after some more thought I started diging and found the chopper broken cleaned the screen and got water to top tray so I ordered the chopper assembly and now it works fine

I took a screw driver and pushed it in the groove nice and tight. It worked out well but I would liked to have had some instructions. Then I cut the bottom excess off the seal.

Removed one philips head screw. Installed new part,reinserted screw.

Replaced heating element and high limit thermostat. Was suppose to fix the problem but did not. Replaced the control board and works now. All of these are easy to replace.

I loooked up the main problems associated with that model which is provided on the website and ended up ordering a heating element and a thermostat. I replaced both parts it took me about 30 minutes. The dishwasher is working again and my wife is very happy. Thanks guys!!!

1. Pulled out the old gasket (very easy. slid right out).

2. Carefully noted how it went in (so I could put the new one in correctly)

3. Measured the length of the new gasket. Unnecessarily worried that the new gasket appeared to be 2" shorter than the old one.

4. Cleaned the track and the general area around the dishwasher that rarely gets clean. Took 15 minutes.

5. Inserted the new seal, making certain it was fully inserted all along the track. It was a perfect fit.

6. Patted myself on the back and bragged to my wife that the job was done.

7. Life is good.

Remove the Racks. Unscrew the lower wash arm with the plastic thumb screw in the middle, set aside. Remove the water chase to the upper wash arm by unclipping the metal keepers at the back of washer and at the top.
Spin remaining water chase clockwise and lift out. Remove torx screws-4 of them. lift out lower assembly. remove one more screw that holds chopper cover in. remove chopper cover. replace /clean chopper assembly screen and any other debris in bottom of washer. install..reverse removal instructions.

no instructions came unfortunately, but it wasn't too difficult reverse engineering. took the upper rack out, disassembled it and put the new rack together using the old screws (since there were no screws either with the replacement rack). There are some extra parts I don't know quite what to do with - some type of additional separators, but the rack works fine without them.

Unscrew, replace, reacted

removed 2 trays and parts and 4 screws

removed parts and the ordered the parts. It was very easy to order parts from Partselect. I unscrewed a few screws and the disassembly was a breeze. I then revresed my steps and the new parts were instlalled no problem. Now on the the motor replacement. Thanks Partselect.com
