KUDM01TJBL0 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

Removed top cover on door ( 6 Screwsw ) Removed cover over electronic board. Tested fuse with tester and had no current flowing through fuse. Easy test!!! Video was a big help. Replaced fuse and washer ran great and still is.

Very easy repair. Just used a cordless drill driver to remove the nut on each pulley, replaced them and that was it. One of the easiest repairs I have ever done. Had to pull the dishwasher our far enough to reach the pulley on each side. Part only goes in one way so you can't screw that up. :^) Tip: Used a lockgrip plier to pull on the spring while I attached the cord to it. Not required but made it easier.

I had to unscrew the float valve and just screwed the other one on and that was it! I saved my self like $300 for someone to come in.

Removed the 4 screws holding the front top face of the dishwasher. Removed the old handle and spring, snapped the new handle in place hooked the spring to the handle and clip on the dishwasher, put the face back in place and reinstalled the screws. Less than 10 mins.

We used the rollers and utensil basket from the old basket and in less than 30 minutes the new basket was ready and installed.

My handman did repair

I checked on line and found evidence that my problem most likely was the failure of the circulation Pump Motor. I ordered the motor from Parts Select. When it arrived, a small section of the housing was damaged. I called for a replacement. The customer service agent was very helpful and the replacement arrived in less than 24 hours. I followed the video provided on YouTube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjRxJy2IUE8 and the one on PartSelect. Both videos helps provide greater clarity for the whole job. The hardest part of the replacement was disconnecting and reconnecting the water supply line. These were my steps. 1. I turned off the electrical power and water supply. 2. I removed the screws holding the dishwasher to the counter top. 3. I removed the two screws holding the bottom access panel. 4. I moved the dishwasher out about one foot and disconnected the water supply line. (Fortunately I didn't have to disconnect the power supply and drain hose because there was enough slack in these lines.) 5. I moved the dishwasher all the way out from the counter and moved it over on the its side. 6. I removed the bolt holding the motor and the motor shield. 7. I removed the connector supplying power to the motor and removed the motor. 8. I removed the inside screen, cleaned and replaced it. I also wiped the other surfaced with a clean rag to ensure a proper seal for the motor. 9. I also applied vasaline to the rubber grommet on the motor to ensure against leaks. 9. I aligned the arrows on the new motor housing and impeller housing and installed the motor as shown in the videos. 10. I reinstalled the motor shield and retaining bolt. 11. I reconnected the water supply, stood the dishwasher upright, turned on the water supply and found I needed to tighten the water supply connection a little more to stop a minor leak. 12. I ran the dishwasher through a rinse cycle to ensure it worked properly and that there were no leaks around the newly installed motor. 13. I reinstalled the dishwasher under the counter top, reinstalled the screws holding it to the counter top and replaced the lower access panel. While this took me a few hours, it was well worth the effort because a repair person wanted $500 to do the job. Thus, I saved well over $300 after paying for the motor. Good Luck with your repair job.

Removed lower spinner and bracket tube in rear of washer. Unscrewed the four screws that hold the pump cover. removed pump cover then unscrewed the two screws that cover the water intake port of the pump. One cover is hard to lift out. The best way is to use an L shaped tool like an Allen wrench and lift it out. Once thats out you see the filter with the cutter blades. Be careful those blades are sharp and will cut you. Removed old filter and installed new one. Make sure you line up the edges. Its not completely round but instead has small cutouts on each side that help it fit tight in the lower piece. Once you get yours you'll see what I mean. Take your time fitting the cover back on as the filter tends to move a bit and it can be difficult to line it up.

I learned the hard way not to remove the screws from the lower side of the door. But by removing the wrong ones first I am now confident that I can replace the outer door face as well as all the components on the inside of the door. Keep small children away from your bits as my 2 yr granddaughter took all the bits out of the case and dropped them into the door. It was extremely easy to replace the part as soon as I figured out there was a small spring on either side of the part. Because my arthritic fingers couldn't stretch it properly a needle nose was quite helpful. My daughter was going to remove the outer part of the door again to retrieve all the bits but when the door was closed they thankfully fell out of the bottom. Since I wasn't sure if I needed both the actuator and/or the door handle I ordered both. I kept the actuator for a "just in case".

Removed two screws that hold the dishwasher in place with screwdriver. Pulled dishwasher out, connected balance kit to hook on door, ran cable through pulley system, hooked cable to one end of spring, and used pliers to stretch spring to hook it in its hole. Slide dishwasher back into position and replaced the two screws.

Repaired before, several years ago. Your on-line video was useful none-the-less. I appreciated it.

removed front pannel , replaced the fuse

I unfortunatly removed the whole base assembly to replace this motor. I wasn't sure what the original cause was. After watching your video I would have followed it and it would have been easier. All went well with not leaks and now we can sleep with the dishwasher on. Thanks

Removed the dishwasher from under the counter, disconnected the copper water tubing, placed it upside down, removed the old pump and replaced with new. The only iffy situation is making sure the copper tubing doesn't kink when removing the dishwasher and putting it back into the cabinet. Very simple, my husband can fix anything. Your video was very helpful as well.

Per the instructional video on your website. It was accurate and presented clearly.
