KUDC10IXWH4 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

Well after trouble shooting several components , the fill valve, the check valve , the pump motor all it turned out to be is the supply line to the dishwasher. I had installed one of those lines with an anti flood check valve in the line. Thinking it was a smart idea so if I were not home it would keep from flooding my basement etc. even when you remove the line and run it into a bucket you still get flow. But unknown to myself a majority of your appliances do not work well with these lines because when the solenoid opens it causes a surge and the check valve tries to restrict the flow. After soapy of these surges the valve sticks . When I replaced the line with a standard supply line it solved the problem. So for about $15.00 you could save yourself a lot of headaches and money by replacing that first. I'm not saying it will be the solution but start there first even if your getting water flow through that line. By the way the manufacturer of those lines at least the one I bought less than 5 montages ago do not mention that on their package and by the time you come to that conclusion you may have spent a lot of money trying to fix your machine. I had three techs that couldn't figure it out. Also the machine I have is a kitchen aid but its a common problem on a lot of brands including washing machines for clothes.

The dishwasher had to be pulled from under the countertop and the face at the base of the dishwasher required removal. The new piece was attached to the door spring, routed through the wheels and attached to the front attach point of the dishwasher. The face was reinstalled and unit was pushed back to under the countertop.

There were actually slots cut in the side to place a screw driver to strentch the spring to attach it to the cord and plastic end. But the spring would not stretch far enough so took the intiative and drilled another hole to place screw driver and pry the spring far enough to attach the replacement piece. After that it was done. Fairly easy as you have the other side of the appliance to look at and can tell how the hidge on the side that needed repair should go. Very very easy after hole was drilled in frame.

I simply disconnected the power line to the dishwasher and pulled it out enough to install the mounting brackets. The installation manual that came with the dishwasher described how to install the brackets and I simply followed directions.

1) turn off electrical power (at main breaker box), 2) remove both upper and lower racks, 3) place towel over the inside bottom of dishwasher (to catch any parts that might fall), 4) remove the Philips screw from the top of the feed tube (the plastic part onto which the spinner attaches), 5) pull down slightly on the feed tube and remove the plastic rivet, 6) insert a new plastic rivet (head up) into the hole of the feed tube, 7) Position the new spinner under the feed tube and then snap the spinner and plastic rivet together, 8) reinstall the Philips screw into the top of the feed tube, 9) remove the towel and put racks back into dishwasher, 10) turn power back on.

open dishwasher remove lower rack roll in new lower rack

I took out the roller trays, removed upper wash plumbing, and lower drain cover parts. I found out Scotchbrite clogged and damaged the screen and blade. R&R'ed both parts and now the dishwasher is like new again

Followed the video it was real easy

First turn off power to the dishwasher at the circuit breaker! Check the door panel screws they were star screws which I was able to remove with an allen wrench(more difficult). Follow the instruction included in the Fuse package. Follow and understand each step before doing the task and it will go smoothly.

Pulled the dishwasher out to remove the broken link; attached the link to the spring; attached the spring to the frame; treaded the link around the lower part of the pulley; attached the link to the door; and treaded the link around the upper part of the pulley while pulling on the spring.

Bought a replacement spinner which came with the litte round connector piece. The connector piece had worn down (the spinner probably got caught on a tall glass or pot). Anyway, for ease of access, you remove the bottom and top racks, unscrew two screws (one on the top and one on the back of the dishwasher that holds the water piping). Then pull the water piping assembly down from the top until you can remove the round connecting piece. The tip of mine was worn off which is why the spinner would not stay on. Once you replace the round connector piece, snap the spinner into it, put the screws back in and you are done. Very easy fix for about $22 including S&H.

I followed the instructions from the partselect video and replaced the damaged door balance part. I ended up having to adjust the plastic wheel piece because the new strings were shorter than the original but luckily there was another screw hole to accommodate the shorter strings. I did replace both sides. Overall, this was a very easy repair thanks to partselect and now my door works great. I will definitely be using this site in the future!

Disconnected the water and drain lines, pulled the washer out of the cabinet cavity. At that point, the work area was fully exposed. Then just a matter of removing the old assembly and replacing with the new. Stretching the spring so the other end of the cable could be attached to the door was the only part of the project that took a little bit of effort. It took more time to disconnect the water lines and pull out the washer than replacing the broken parts on each side of the door.

Pulled dishwasher out went down looked at problems ,saw both springs out of place and disconnected from door. Rewatched your video . Went to work one problem I did not realize the door had to be down to hook cable plastic attachment to door . Looked at video again saw door had to be down hooked up done !

I simply followed the instructions on Youtube video. They couldn't have made it any easier.
