KUDR2 KitchenAid - Instructions

Removed the rest of the broken retainer plug. Part number was on the top of the plug. Went to Partselect.com looked up the part and ordered it. The right part (important) arrived in a few days. I put the arm back in place, screwed in the new retainer plug and we were back in business. Cost of part about $5.00. Price of not having to ... Read more share in cleaning the dishes, priceless. Any future problems with any of my appliances, this is the first place I'll look for the needed part.

Removed one screw to get the spray arm off the rack, one other screw to disassembly the spray arm assembly. Replaced worn and damaged parts. Installation was reverse order of disassembly.

I was hesitant at buying the Matag made replacement, especially since it was one piece as compared to my 10-year old 3 piece assembly, and my dishwasher is KitchenAid.

Pretty simple. Hardest part was working the end clips of the slide to remove top rack. You simply need to squeeze the plastic clip in to slide it out. Once the top rack is out, it was an obvious philips head screw removal and new part replacement.

1-remove upper rack by removing holding clips.

2-remove old assembly from Rack

3-cut old ring guide to accomodate new style (one solid plastic piece) and reglue after accomodating new assembly

4-re-install upper rack

DONE

first I removed lower basket. then removed lower sprayer attached to pump housing by unscrewing the cap by hand. the I removed the pump cover . there were six alan screw two of them were missing causing the failure of the seal spraying solution at the door. replaced the pumpseal working backwards until everthing was replaced.

I wish I knew a couple of things before doing this repair. 1) As you take off the panel, remove slowly and pay close attention to how the latching mechanism and spring works, 2) The mylar cover over all of the buttons (the panel that say s "Kitchenaid Superba, on, off, etc) does not come with the panel and costs $45 more. I was determin ... Read more ed to save it. I used a flat Xactor blade to separate it from the broken control panel. As careful as I tried to be, I cut it a few times. Had I known I was dealing with a contact cement, I would have known to get it started and slowly peel it off. It will readhere to the new control panel without new adhesive. I replaced the vinyl waterproof cover for the circuit board, and installed the latching mechanism and spring. I positioned the new panel and screwed in the four screws. It works fine.

This was my third attempt at fixing the problem. First I tried the bushing under the lower spray arm. This worked for me a few years ago but not this time. I then replaced the door gasket with no luck. I just discovered another bushing that has worn paper thin between the lower spray arm and the nut that holds it. I ordered it and ho ... Read more pefully that will do the trick. I read that if the spray arm wobbles it creates waves in the tub that slop over the edge.

Just removed the old seal and followed the instructions that came with the new one. Since the old one didn't have any adhesive on it ,I didn't use the adhesice on the new one. Problem solved!

I originally ordered the wrong version of the rollers, but the repair department walked me through the proper procedure.

We only needed to clamp on the holder attachment to the rack and secure it with a pair of pliers. Then snap on the wheels and viola!

End of happy story.

Removed old phillips head screws /w washers from spray arm kit and mounting bracket. (You'll need to keep one screw/washer set.) Attached new mounting bracket and screwed securely. Attached spray arm with new screw/washer and I was good to go. Piece of cake!

Did not have to do any repair, the parts for the dishwasher come with all the necessary parts and no tools were necessary. the wheels were snapped into place for the lower rack and the upper rack should needed to be place in the sliders. The Middle arm holder is not necessary as it comes standard.

Followed the other repair instructions on this site to replace the fuse assembly. I could not have figured this out without the drawings and user descriptions. Thanks!

replaced spray arm, but this did not resolve the problem. The troubleshooting guid (inside kick panel) indicated the check valve may be stuck. We had quite a bit of lime build up, so I suspected the loose deposits may be stuck. I removed all of the deposits, disassembled the lower unit.
Removed lower spray arm, removed spry tube. ... Read more The tube is two pieces. first the upper portion must be removed (two screws-place towel on base of tub to preven screws from falling into the chopper area), and then the lower portion simply rotates clockwise 1/8 of a turn. The attachment for lower spray arm has a small plastic bearing, careful not to drop it.
The dishwaser then had to be pulled out and turned on the side. I removed the entire lower unit by removing the white tabs (3). Careful, because the unit is now free to drop into the tub. Next I removed the pump. This is tricky as you have to remove the aluminimum bracket to get to the mountin bolt. The bolt turns out easily w/socket and extension. The pump motor is then rotated counter clockwise, and pulled from the pump. Takes a little force as the gasket makes for a tight fit.
I then removed the choper / pump unit from the basin. The build up behind the chopper screen was extensive, so I had to remove the screen and then the chopper cover. After cleaning, the check valve was unplugged and I reassembled the unit.

Dishwasher works great now.
