KUDC24SESS4 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

Mine is a Ultra Wash 111
I followed the repair video on your site but my dishwasher was a little different. Not enough that anyone could still understand the video and not get it disassembled. The video shows two ball checks but mine doesn't use them where the videos shows. I put them in anyway because I called Whirlpool, who made my washer, and they assured me that they should be in there. They got sucked through the dump impeller and plugged the discharge tube so I had to disassemble it again and take the ball checks out. Lucky for me nothing got damaged. I then got a hold of someone on your chat line that got me to the correct parts view that shows where the ball check is suppose to go on my washer. During working on my washer I realized the squealing was because the bottom bearing on the motor needed oil. So all and all I'm happy because it runs quiet and it works fine. Thanks Greg

DEFINITELY 5***** Stars
The piece arrived, and my husband was able to pop out the old flexrow and pop in the new one.....took less than one minute. Voila...back in business again.

We had just made the (big) decision to not renew the warranty. The dish washer is 10 1/2 years old, and we figured we'd cross our fingers...never having a problem with it. A week later the flexrow broke. I called KitchenAide...they would/could send an entire bottom rack for $135.00. I found PartSelect, easily found the diagram and correct part, and for less than $30.00 we ordered it and it arrived at our front door within 48 hours. You can't beat that for quality and fast service.
Thank you PartSelect.

Removed the inner door panel and then the circuit board protective cover (which just snaps in). Fuse assembly is readily accessible and just snaps in. The wires are attached with spade lugs using existing wiring. No wiring modificatins needed,

1) Removed the two panels below the door.
2) Unscrewed the two screws holding the dishwasher to the upper cabinet facing.
3) Pulled dishwasher out 6-8 inches to gain access to springs located on the side.
4) Removed the broken spring.
5) Attached the new spring.
6) Openned and closed the door to make sure spring was tight enough.
7) Pushed dishwasher back in.
8) Rescrewed cabinet facing screws
9) Rescrewed floor panels.

Only problem was with ordering ... PartSelect part number is different than the FSP-Whirlpool part number. PartSelect should provide a cross-reference table if there is a difference between OEM number and PartSelect number.

removed two hose clamps and old hose. slid new hose on existing fittings on dishwasher drain and disposal and tightened hose clamps. Turned it on for test run.

Install too less that a minute. Fit perfectly.

Installed pump kit. Was surprised the kit seemed different( some parts changed or deleted. Instructed to discard old parts and follow with new configuration. Reassembled and tried t fin it works fine now. Thank you so much

compared it to old rack. Parts snapped together in 5 minutes. the fit was good. Kit did not include the silverware baskets, or the fold down narrow shelf.

I removed the old wheel assemblies
(4 total holding 2 wheels each) with a slight prying with a screwdriver to
ease it off the rack. After the first one, the rest were a little easier.
The new ones had to "mate" a certain way and then just needed a push of the hand.

Unscrew the top bracket on basket of upper spray arm assembly. Remove entire upper spray arm assembly. Remove old spray arm. Install new spray arm and new supply tube being careful to align the upper bracket with slot on new spray arm and supply tube.

removed old check valve from bottom of dishwasher and replaced with new one. I used channel locks to do this, disconnect hoses and screw out check valve, and put back in opposite order, make sure the dishwasher is empty of water or have a plastic bowl or such to catch water. Take off two front covers on bottom of dishwasher to access check valve ,white with hose attached.

I ordered the upper and lower rack replacements PLUS additional wheels and other attachments because I could not tell from the schematic on the website whether or not the smaller pieces came with the rack.

As it turned out, the racks came ready to install and all it took was a limber nephew to take out the old ones and put in the new. Now I have plenty of spare parts in my own inventory in case the wheels, etc. need replacing.

I feel guilty sending you this repair story because all I did was order the parts on your website and then conned my nephew into making the exchange.

The parts arrived very quickly and in good condition. In fact, the new racks are an improvement over the ones that came with the dishwasher originally. Ms. Susan McNutt was quite helpful in keeping me informed of the status of the part that was back-ordered. It was a pleasure dealing with PartSelect.com.

My husband replaced the entire soap dispenser until in under 30 minutes. I stayed out of the room. :) I didn't hear any swearing, so I assume it went fairly well. Sorry that I can't give you detailed instructions. He didn't need a manual or any type of directions. I guess it was kind of obvious how to do it. Just be sure you turn off the power first.

Removed the washer from the cabinet, although the repair kit could have been replaced without this step. However, it still made it easier. Removed the spray arm assembly and the top cover to the motor. I had to block the motor to keep it from turning while I unscrewed part number 11. The rest was very self explanatory. The "impeller" was seized onto the motor shaft (20 years old) so I had to use a chisel to break what remained off, then clean some corrosion from the shaft. The repair kit worked and the pictorial parts diagram that came with the kit was very clear. Bottom line: "Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!" Great web site for diagnosis and parts diagrams!

The repair was simple except for removing the thread portion of the old retainer nut from the lower housing. I had to remove the lower housing and separate the male threads of the old plastic nut from the female threads in the lower housing. That took 25 minutes since I did not want to ruin the female threads. Once removed, the new parts went into place easily.
