JDPSS244LM1 Maytag Dishwasher - Instructions

I called an experienced plumber, who balanced and installed my new dishwasher properly, using the brackets I ordered from Parts Select, after an INEXPERIENCED plumber had tossed the factory-provided mounting brackets out with the shipping carton. Relief!

After pulling the dishwasher out, I was able to determine the leak was occurring around the plastic nuts on the end of the heating element. I removed the heating element and saw that even though there were washers on the ends that protruded through the backside of the machine, they really weren't sealing the holes the element was sticking ... Read more through. Looking at YouTube videos on the installation procedure, I noticed the element being installed had a sort of metal grommet permanently affixed to each end and the rubber washers were between the grommet and the dishwasher body. I ordered the new part and saw this to be when I received the new part. This grommet allowed the washer to seal the hole, once the plastic nuts were installed on the backside of the dishwasher. This seems to have stopped the leak. I don't know how the original part ever worked correctly, since the washers freely sat on the element with nothing to force them up against the body of the dishwasher and seal the holes. It may have been leaking long before I discovered the problem.

The valve has a plastic fitting to attach the the water line with a hose fitting. Was not carful enough with the original and damaged it attaching the water line. Ordered a replacement fitting. While it is possible to replace the water inlet valve without pulling the dishwasher out from the cabinet found it was easier to get at with the m ... Read more achine out. The video does and good job of showing the removal and replacing the valve. Easy job, don't be like me and be careful attaching the water line.

This product comes in a bottle with a brush like Liquid Paper. It goes on incredibly easy. A second coat might be needed. I wanted to prevent rust from setting in so I covered the scratches and dings. The paint is a little brighter since my washer is 10 years old but it still looks great.

I found it best to lay the dishwasher on it's side, this makes it easier to attach a 90 degree hose fitting without cross threading the plastic fitting.

Removed old part and replaced with new part

I simply had to hook up the power cord to the dishwasher so i could plug it into the outlet rather than direct wire the appliance. Everything went very smoothly. Everything needed for installation other than tools was provided. Easy to follow instructions if you know a little about electrical wiring.

Cut DW brackets to size, attached to DW. Bent back tabs, pushed DW into place and installed screws.

removed and installed cords with screw driver

Recently bought a whirlpool dishwasher, the dishwasher was converted to a portable dishwasher and they did not use the cord application power cord so they machine was blowing our breaker, instructions were very simple and installation was easy!

followed directions, a kid could have done it,

It’s great when you have parts that fit and a schematic to go by. I got both from this site. There are three parts that these screws hold in place. Use the schematic to see which way each part is facing. Line all the parts up and then look through the covers. You’ll see pre drilled holes on either side of the cover. Line the screws up to ... Read more the pre drilled holes. Put the first screw in half way then insert the second screw all the way. Come back to the first screw and tighten it all the way. Two screws, two minutes and I was done. Real easy repair, just awkward as you are on your belly on the floor. I used a drill with a socket that fit the screw head.

Inner gasket (Part # PS16221119) was angled in at the corners, so it wouldn't make a seal with the door, resulting in steam leakage and damage to adjacent cabinet door. Simply pulled out old gasket, pushed new one into track and voila, problem solved. New gasket angles out at corners, creating steam-tight seal.

I just popped the new one onto the bottom of the middle rack and it was done. Easiest repair I have EVER done!
