KPDI620T6 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

The installation video is excellent. What should have been a simple fix proved to be difficult for me. Perhaps a function of not enough hand strength to "snap" the axles in place. After trying to use a screwdriver to pry open a side enough to slide on and soaking in hot water to make the axles more pliable -- neither of which worked -- I turned the rack on its side, inserted the axle in the opening and then stepped on it. Voila! That worked beautifully and the next two were easy using the "stand-on-it" method. For anyone with a similar issue as far as hand strength, I recommend this method.

Sorry to say that all I did was screw the cap on in about 3 seconds. Not a repair.

Watched "PartSelect" video showing how to remove the old tube and install the new one. Also read what others said about warming the tube with a hair dryer to make the rubber more flexible -- as you had to stretch the rubber to get it to go over the plastic parts that it attached to. I ordered the part around 3 PM and received it around 10:30 AM the next day. Excellent service!

Remove old tube and slip new one in its place. Tube is flexible enough to do this easily. Make sure the side of the tube with the small hole faces down.

slipped the part on by hand

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