DU1245XTSB1 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

The hardest thing in installing the pump was pulling the dishwasher from under the counter. Once that was done and the mess with drain hoses and supply hoses was cleaned up, all it took was undoing one bolt to turn and remove the motor by turning in counter clockwise. the seal comes with the new motor and don't forget to reconnect the wire harness to the new motor on re-assembly.

I did the repair excately like the video said that came with a reply after my order

1.opened the door removed the two anchoring screws at the top of the dishwasher. 2.slid out the machine, layed it on its side on a towel for water spill. 3.unplugged the old motor. 4. used 1/4 inch ratchet with 6 inch extension and 3/8 inch socket, removed the mounting bolt. 5. twisted the motor clockwise approx. 1/4 turn and removed the old motor with impeller. 7. repeated reverse method to install.

Removed torx screws from rear of door. Openned door assembly and replaced board...very easy...about twenty minutes total. It's working fine and we're looking for years of additional service.

At first I was just going to buy the top rack overhead spinner. I then noticed that the sprayer arm ports that supply water in one of two positions was fatigued and not closing when not in use. So I just bought the whole kit and caboodle for a couple bucks more. Installing it was just plain easy.

I cut the breaker and disconnected the in and out water lines, then removed the washer. Once on its side, I took it apart until I found what was broken. The chopper unit had broken and parts were sucked into the pump. After going online and finding/ordering all the parts, I cleaned everything and put it back together so as not to lose anything. When the parts came in,it was an easy job to replace the broken parts and have it back in use. The repair would have cost over $350 and my parts bill was less than $90. Thanks

Took out old dishwasher rack and replaced with new.

Cleaned area around food chopper. Replaced food chopper.

Removed the screws under the counter, retracted the leveling bolt jacks, turned off power to unit, turned off water supply to unit and made sure that all the water was out of the unit. Disconnect supply and drain lines. slide out unit from under counter and put protection over the door then lay it over onto the door. unplug the motor remove the screw that holds the motor in place, turn the motor counterclock wise, wiggle the motor in a side to side motion and it will come right out.(GLOVES ARE RECOMENDED FOR THIS OPERATION). Use cooking spray or olive oil on the O-ring. line up the arrow on the pump housing with the arrow on the pump motor and put the unit back together in the reverse order. Test the unit with a operation of a quick rinse to check of leaks. This is a very easy repair.

Removed unit from counter. Replaced element.

I remodeled my kitchen with new cabinets. In order to better utilize cabinet space, I located the dishwasher away from the sink, which means that I had to have a longer drain hose. The store I purchased the dishwasher from didn't have a longer hose, so I went online and found it on this website. Thanks for the quick shipment. I ordered it using standard delivery and received it in less than three days. I have book marked this website for future use.

The first check was for any circuit breakers that tripped. Upon finding the circuit breakers intact, I removed the front panel from the dishwasher and verified power was up to the panel, which is was. I removed the kick panel and located documentation for schematics and troubleshooting. This led me to the bi-metal switch (non-resettable). After turning off the power, I checked the continuity across the switch and found it was open. Then I provided a short across the switch and turned the power on to verify panel was working properly, which is was. This verified the bi-metal (thermal switch) was the issue. I then ordered the switch and installed it per the instructions. While looking for the switch, I did run across another post suggesting the additional wire leads with the kit should be included since they act as a heat sink. With the new switch installed along with the additional wire leads, the dishwasher is working fine.

1.] I ordered the wrong part and I altered the contacts to make it work, it did'nt. 2.] Found out the right part # and could'nt hook it up cause I cut off the connection to adapt the first part. 3.] So I had to order an entire wire harness to get a small selenoid connecter. I made the connection and it still did'nt work. 4.] Ordered a control panel and when it came it was the wrong one. 5.] The company sent a new right control panel and BINGO! 6.] Say good night Gracie.
