KUDS30FXSS1 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

Removed broken adjuster by prying open latch tabs. Assembled replacement per instructions. Had to test fit parts due to poor illustrations, compared to other adjuster for correct installation. 2nd side went much quicker

Followed the pictures not hard at all.

followed your very well done video clip exactly.

Took old parts off after removing rack. Installed new track adjusters

Replaced adjustor mechanisms on both sides. Instructions enclosed with the parts kit were pretty much useless - photographs were dark and blurry and not very helpful. Removing the old parts was the most difficult part of the job, and all that the instructions said about that was "remove old parts". I found an excellent video on YouTube by a gentlemen named "Matt" which saved the day; couldn't have done the job without the video.

I took the upper rack out set it on its side and followed the instructions that came with the parts. Then turned it on the other side and repeated the instructions. The nice part about the instructions is they they came with clear photographs of each step in the instructions. You could clearly see how the parts were suppose to fit. No guessing at all. Great job, who ever created them. I will not hesitate to but parts from this website and is saved in my favorites.

Use of black/white pictures made it hard to see part details. Use grayscale insted. Also provide a schematic of the parts involved. The similarity of names made it hard to determine which part was being referred to. used magnifying glass and a lot of trial and error to resolve instalation problems. Second set of rollers went smoother.

Using Phillips screw driver, removed 2 screws at top of unit, slid it out from under counter. Removed and replaced both sides. The hardest part was to keep the blanket on the unit which I solved with duct tape. Slid the unit back in place and works fine. The repair man wanted $29 to come out and $150. To repair

Started the rope onto the top holder, threaded the rope around the rollers and using the pilers pulled the spring forward to attach the other end of the rope.

Too easy to even discuss

You have to go online and watch a video of how to install the replacement part. Ten or so minutes later you are done.You tube makes everything easier.

just move the machine out and replace the string. this site is very reliable and and great company. since the dishmachine door cannot be closed, we first order door strike, ,,,, still doesn't work after installation. and return all parts and order the balance kit, now works fine after. we appreciate your help

I've had to do this repair at least twice before over the last few years so I stand by my original assertion that the door "balance link kit" reflects very poor design. Well, maybe the design would be okay if the materials were not prone to breakage. However, a simpler spring-only mechanism would have been more reliable. The current design uses string embedded in plastic that latches to a hook area for both sides of the door (frame). The string is threaded around a hub and then to a spring that is in turn connected to the chassis at a rather distant point which also adds to the difficulty due to requiring greater access to the dishwasher sides. It would be much better if the repair could be done without necessitating removal of the entire unit from the cabinet cavity first. I noted that this time around there's been a redesign so that the hub is no longer a round fixed knob but now includes a rotatable wheel. So perhaps there'll now be less wear on the strings that with the prior design! -- D.A.D

Ordered a new motor and impeller. Removed old motor when the new part arrived and replaced the part.Very simple repair when placing the dishwasher on its side - must easier than I expected. Great service on part delivery from Partselect! Thank you!

Removed wash arms inside unit, then removed drain pump and disconnected all wires and took out the 3 clips that hold the assembly in the dishwasher. Everything came out pretty easy and I just put everything back the way it came apart. All told probably an hour with dis-assembly and assembly and no leaks. The motor was perfect, thanks.
