KUDA22SWWH1 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

It was 94 degrees that day so I set the rubber hose outside in the sun to loosen it up, make it more plyable. I then mixed up some soapy water and doused the ends of the hose with the soapy water and slid the hose right onto the fittings.

There was a small hole in the hose which was not discussed in the directions. I assumed the hole should be installed on the down side to let water drain out after the dishwasher is finished. This will reduce the chance of bacteria building in the hose.

I read the installation tips before I started and picked up the soap mix and heating up the hose before installation. Can be accomplished with a hair dryer if it is not 94+ degrees outside!!!

Thanks,

Jim

I removed the upper rack from the dishwasher by popping the two rack track stops out of the rack tracks. The old tube came off easily, and the new tube went on very nicely, after lubing each end with a dab of liquid dish soap. I put the rack back on its tracks , popped the track stops back in and my dishwasher was back in business.

After checking for blockages in the drain line and finding none, I disassembled the wash wand assembly and discovered a gasket that had really deteriorated. Since there was nothing else apparently wrong, I took a chance and went shopping for the gasket. None of my local stores could provided me one so I searched on line and found it at Partselect. It had to be special ordered and that took a while, but when it arrived, I put the new gasket in and had a perfect dishwasher again for less than 15 bucks. The schematic I was able to print from your website was invaluable.

I was trying to avoid having to buy a new dishwasher before the holidays. I went on YouTube and found the dirty dishes may mean bad water inlet valve. So, I used my meter to see if the valve was bad and sure enough it was. I ordered the part from Part Select. Once I received the part I removed the old one. Be sure to put a towel down to catch the excess water. The bracket that came with the new prt was a different configuration, but i swapped the new with old and it worked. I addition to the valve being bad the dishwasher upper and lower arms were somewhat clogged. I looked online again and followed YouTube instructions to clean. The dishwasher is cleaning like it is new. I would recommend to anyone doing work on their dishwasher to use part select and thoroughly clean the upper and lower arm.

Removed the old tube with the aid of a knife to cut one end off the fitting. Then I lubed each end of the tube with dish washing soap and slipped them on. Done in 10 minutes. Easier to do if the top rack is removed for better access to the hose connections.

All I had to do was remove the damaged hose and replace it with the new hose. It took all of 5 minutes. The dishwasher is working like new!

I placed the hose on one side after placing one end in boiling water. I placed the other end in the hot water and pushed it on.

took old tube of and heaten new tube to soften it. put some plumber grease on ends and slipped it on. longest time was boiling the water.

I simply removed the broken wheel brackets and snapped new ones on. then the wheel just sliped on. It took some good hand strength.

While replacing the water valve I broke the float switch. Ordered the switch....it was here in 2 days. Great service! Will use this company again....I hope not all that much. lol
I am a retired Sears service tech, but not a dishwaher tech.
Love Parts Select!
Thanks guys,

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

Removed the door cover and replaced the bi-metal.

put new switch and new gasket on old float stem with old nut. but it still overflows about 1/2 cup of water through stem

It went great Using your web site help out. Thank You Paul.

The recpacement tube is an oval, to match the oval rear connector on the basket. You need to push the sides in first so that you can force/slide it onto the round connection in front. After you get that on, the rest (oval tube on to oval connector)takes all of 3-5 seconds. (Happy face)
