KUDS03STBL0 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

Easy to replace this drain hose, but being the section that attaches to the pump, the dishwasher had to be removed from under the counter. Most of the time spent was disconnecting the supply, drain and electric then removing the dishwasher. Once out, the drain hose replacement should take 5 minutes or less. Very straightforward. Please remember to shut off electricity and water supply to the dishwasher before starting this project!

Removed screws from under counter supports with Phillips head. With small flat head screwdriver removed the bottom plate, adjusted the support feet upwards . Very gently pulled out dishwasher from cabinet , about 2-2.5 feet exposing lower sides and springs and old balance parts. With a nut driver 5/16 removed first side old part keeping nut screw, placed the dual wheel part keyhole notch into the hole and positioned the bottom and loosely secured the lower portion back into the hole with the nut screw.Then with the cord replaced the narrow part over the metal holder the way the old one was. Carefully feed the cord over /under as before , tighten the nut screw into place take the ring end and and hook it on to the spring that is very tight and hard to pull into place. This was the hardest step as I needed help because of the heavy duty spring. My 7yo granddaughter hooked the ring as I need both hands on the spring. I checked the part for being screwed in correctly , then repeated on the other side. Carefully pushed the appliance back into cabinet making sure any cord, hoses had not been pinched, adjusted the front support legs back into place , secured the upper braces, replaced the lower plate and it is perfect! It works better than after I had a handy man do this a few years ago. I am a 64 yo woman!

simply replaced with new basket! The replaced basket was way more efficient that the old one! It has drop down covers so that I can place my silverware in it without puddling water on certain utensils, such as gravy ladels, etc. Now, I am really glad my old one broke!

My son Eric, read the directions and followed every instruction. Job was complete in less than 15 min. I filled dishwasher and set it to clean. Worked perfect and dishes came out sparkling. Thank you for you service. My ordered part was here overnight and instructions were easy and clear. Rebecca

Start by removing the dishwasher from cabinet. Oh, don't forget to turn off water supply and also don't forget to install a plug on garbage disposer so when your other half uses the sink while you are outside you don't end up with a leak! Both supplied hoses installed easily, the third which I used semi flexible clear tubing with clamps deemed more difficult to bend, so I soaked the hose in very hot water to make it more pliable thus making the bends easily. I then had to wait until I was sure I captured the culprit before re-installing the unit.Your sales person was very informative and knowledgable and helped immensely!

To Prevent This Problem: Make Sure Your Utensils And Items You Are Washing DO NOT Rub Against The Door Seal When Pulling Out The Bottom Rack To Emptying The Dish Washer... The Original Door seal is held in place in a metal channel. To remove it you just carefully pull out the old seal. It is recommended that prior to installing the new seal you clean the channel and then put silicon sealant in the channel and install the new seal. Be nice and neat and just cut off the Silicon Tube Nozzle so about a 1/8 in bead of silicon comes out of the tube and goes into the channel. Make sure the channel is filled with silicon evenly (you get more than enough in the tube). Push in the seal so that it seats properly, and most importantly so that the ends of the seal extend past the ends of the channel. (I don't know why the manufacturer can't provide a new seal that is 3 inches longer than required, instead of 1 inch longer than required. Its easy to cut off the excess.)... Of course it takes 24 hours for silicon to fully cure and the curing process should be accomplished with the dishwasher door Closed and Latched. (Instructions are included in the repair kit) ...

Many thanks for the repair instructions. My dishwasher has a black plastic cover over the control board but it was easily removed. I did take a photo of the board before I started to use as a reference in putting thing back correctly. Being 70 and never having done anything of this type I was nervous but the machine was broken anyway so what harm could I do. It WORKS...

I watched the video on the web site and made the very simple repair. It was so easy that almost anyone could do it. Also, the parts arrived 2 days after I ordered them. The whole process was very easy and saved the cost of a service call.

Follow instructional video from Part Select. Dishwasher is working nicely now. Many thanks. I must add that repair company wanted $480 for parts and labor to replace this and that, including motor. I declined and spent $46 for valve and S&H from Part Select and fixed it myself.

Removed the old valve after disconnecting the drain, water line and electric connection to get to the spot of the leak. Valve was easy to reinstall to power and filler tube, as were the hard connection to power and the drain, but when it came to aligning the copper water line to the valve with a compression fitting under the machine, it was impossible to get the alignment correct with the fine threads on the compression fitting. I loosened the valve from the frame and then was easily able to thread the compression fitting to the valve and then put the holding screw on the valve back in place. That knowledge would have saved me half the installation time and a lot of frustration trying to get the compression fitting to thread!

exactly as your great video suggested.thanks

So simple... Removed old basket & dropped the new one in. Perfect fit.

Read comments on-line here. Then removed both drawers, removed one screw from top filler tube. Gently pulled tube down just enough to remove small "button", after first putting a cloth over entire bottom of dishwasher to catch it if it, or screw, fell. Button goes in "pointy side" down. Squeezed new spinner onto button until it "popped" on. Replaced top screw, drawers and ran a load. Worked perfectly. Button was worn out. Would be nice if only button could be purchased.

Turn off power at breaker. Mine on same breaker as disposal. Removed the twelve torx head screws from inside of door (see the video on replacing the bi-metal fuse). Removed fuse from board, then removed spade connectors to test fuse with multimeter. Blown. Board is snapped in place. Remove the two plugs from the front side of board, the four plugs from the bottom and the ribbon cable. Used a screwdriver to gently bend clips holding board in place at the ribbon cable end of the board and lift out. Examination showed burned area around pin P4, the door neutral pin. Installed new board, re-connected all wires and ribbon cable. Installed new bi-metal fuse just like in video, reassembled door. Turned breaker on, ran normal cycle. Perfect. Wife thinks I'm a genius. Partselect saved me hundreds.
