KDI-56A KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

Took off front panel and removed the faulty part, installed the new one and started it up.

Replaced the faucet adapter, works fine

I bought the portable dishwasher on Craigslist, and it didn't have the connector that goes on the kitchen faucet. Ordered it here, got it in a few days, and didn't need any tools - just had to screw it on. Good as gold!

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!

I unsrew the faucet head, and attached th e adapter

replaced the faucet adapter I did not save when I change out the kitchen sink faucet set

Ordered a new Faucet Adapter! Simple

Found the adapter on Parts select through a google search. Unscrewed the existing faucet aerator and srewed in the adapter. The plastic shrink wrap holds the washer and screen in place, so don't open it until you're ready to install. Finger snug does it, only use the pliers to remover the old aerator from the faucet. Normally, I don't use pliers, but both of these parts were round and had vertical serrations to engare the plier teeth.

The previous pump needed to be removed, install new. New pump mounting bracket hit existing mounting bracket from an adjacent part. 1. Wire contacts removed 2. Copper incoming line was disconnected from brass elbow. 3. Hose to pump removed using pliers for wire clamp, and flat head screw driver to prod hose off. The used pump is now in one's hand. The new pump would not fit using existing screw holes. The mounting bracket was moved to the left, using the one pre-existing hole and right hole in mounting bracket. The left hole of the mounting bracket was used as location for another hole to be bored/drilled out. Two drill bits of different sizes were used, along with the same sheet metal screw which was in previous mounting bracket assembly. Pump design has been changed from two wire coils to one wire coil. 1. The hose was re-connected using pliers. 2. Copper compression fitting lined up with brass elbow again. 3. Two Wire contacts were attached; previously there were Three contacts. 4. Second screw was added in newly bored hole. Plenty of room moving to the left. There is one loose wire contact.
