KDPM804KBS1 KitchenAid 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!

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.

Checked drain hose and it was clear without kinks. I shut of the electrical breaker. Verified no power to washer. Removed the lower trim panel. Lowered the adjustable feet to allow me to slide my unit out. Disconnected drain hose from unit. Pulled unit from cabinet. My drain pump is located on the right bottom side when facing the door of ... Read more the unit. I did not need to lay the unit on its side and have enough power cable to not have to disconnect it while still pulling the unit all the way out of the cabinet. The pump is easily accessed from the right side hidden behind insulation. Disconnected power wire from pump. Pressed down locking latch and turned pump counter clockwise removed then replaced in opposite order. I have run 3 load’s before posting this and as of now my dishwasher is functioning perfectly.

Relatively simple. Unhook electrical, water supply, and hose from drain air gap. Unscrew two screws that hold in the dishwasher and pull it out slowly making sure you do not damage the insulation.

Have a couple of towels nearby because when you tip the dishwasher on it's side some water will spill out.

Insert the new pump and put everything back in reverse order.
Make sure the dishwasher is level horizontally and vertically.

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.

The old tine row came out easily and the new one was easy to pop into place. I was pleased that it was so easy to order a replacement part.

Removed old part and replaced with new part

At first I thought I needed a new bottom rack for my dishwasher. Out of curiosity, I watched the installation video and realized that the Tine Row installed separately and that was the only part I needed. I am appreciative of being able to access that video and the money I saved. Installation took seconds to complete.

Removed broken tin row. Replaced with new tine row. Tokk less than 1 minute.

There was no tools involved the part popped right into place. I received the part within two days from the date placed. It was great.

followed directions, a kid could have done it,

Just replaced it in the notches that held the rusted tine.

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.

Pulled the dishwasher out from under counter - removing 2 screws accessible on sides of dishwasher - these screws hold dishwasher under counter. Drain pump accessible right side bottom. Disconnect wiring clip - grab pump turn counter clockwise 1/4 turn and pull out of housing. Then reverse this process for installation

quick and easy,tine-row just snapped right in! Took about 15 seconds!
