KUDS30IXBL1 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

you need to remove 3 clips which is very easy and straight forward. The more difficult part is removing the adjustment slide, the main part. A few words of instruction with the part would have been very helpful. I kept moving the part around until it snapped out. Realignment to put the new part back in was trial and error. It finally slipped in and reinserting the three clips was easy.

I bought only ajusters #4 and used the old #5,#6,#3,#9.If you think they may break you might whant to order these also.Study which side of rack the part is on that you are about to remove.Dissconnect part #5 from rack and slide down to remove from #4.Slide #6 down to remove from #4. Part #3 has two pins on back side ,squeeze and push to remove from #4. #9 has two pins on either side at bottom,use screw driver to push out sides of part #2 to remove pins from holes.Top will slide down out of slots at the top of #2. Assembly- Start with #5and #6 to help hold adjusters in place,then #3 and #9. I hope this will help you.

1. Remove top rank. Do this by opening the clips at the end of each railing. This allows the rack to slide out. 2. With a screwdriver take apart the rack adjuster. Be careful not to break the adjuster clips. 3. Reassemble new rack adjuster with clips. 4. Hint: Take apart and reassemble each side separately. This way you will always have one assembled side as a reference when putting everything back together.

The part was easy to install. But , you might have to unhook electrical, water, and drain. That is the time problem, part install is easy. All I had was a socket set, 1/4, drive fits. But a nutdriver would have been easier. WATCH the install video, great info!!!!!

It was a little scary pulling the parts apart from each other. I found that placing a screwdriver through the center and pulling the plastic apart. As you do this try and push the other plastic wider with your hands and they will pop apart. Putting them back is a easy .Good Luck

Remove power to the machine. My particular installation did not require physically removing water and drain lines. Remove the dishwasher from the cavity. Put a towel or two down on the floor. Lay the washer on its face on the towels and this orients the motor in the up position on the bottom of the washer. CAREFULLY unplug the motor wiring harness but if possible, leave the heating element connection in place as spade connectors tend to lose their grip with multiple engagements. Remove the single bolt located between the motor and stainless bottom of the cavity that locks the motor in place. Leave it in the cardboard shield, that really helps in reinstalling it. CCW rotation of the motor disengages it from its housing. Work the motor straight up and out of the housing. This was the most difficult part of the entire process due to the metal housing not quite clearing the plastic pump housing where they mate, but its do-able. Nothing should have to be forced. Now you have the motor in hand. Be very attentive how and what order you disassemble. Remove the back of the motor housing to block the armature to remove the impeller. DO NOT NICK THE FIELD WIRING IN THE MOTOR. I believe the threads were left hand but I don't remember the rotation. They do tighten in the direction of the motor rotation though. Carefully pry the seal out of the pump housing with many short lifts as to not mar the housing itself. Added a little dishwashing detergent on the outside of the new seal and carefully pushed it into place with the end of my screwdriver. Don't cut yourself on the metal insert in the center of the seal.Reassemble the impeller to the shaft WITH the spacer that comes with the new impeller kit. Make sure the impeller is tightened down completely to the end of the threads to insure proper clearances when reassembled. Don't force or over tighten. You'll feel a positive stop. Reassemble the motor to the housing Lubricate the housing o ring seal on the outside with a VERY small amount of dishwashing liquid lest you create a suds factory on startup. Replace the holding bolt on the pump housing. Reconnect the motor leads and heater element if removed. Stand the washer back up. There will probably be water around the door area from the pump when the machine is returned to the upright position. Reconnect lines and check under the pump housing for leaks while in operation being careful not to get into moving parts or electrical connections. Good luck.

Followed video on your site rapair was the same as the video

The most direct way to do this job is to completely pull out the dishwasher so you can get to all the parts involved. However, I didn't want to break and make all 3 connections. Having installed it using braided hose for the water line, I had enough give to pull the unit out about halfway. This exposed the pulleys and door hook, but the spring was still in the back (and had actually fallen off the frame and was now lying behind the frame on the floor. So a little back and forth and I was able to retrieve it. I hooked the link on the end and blindly and miraculously hooked the spring into it's hole on the frame. Since I had no room to work with the door open, I had to keep it closed which meant the spring was under full tension. This is where the drum stick came in. I pulled the spring forward with a pliers and shoved the drumstick in the loop on the spring and held the stick against the baseboard while I threaded the string around the pulleys and onto the door hook. I guess I could have tried a long screwdriver, but the drumstick was handy and the bulbous tip prevented the spring from sliding off

Very easy if you are mechanically inclined

Really was repair. Pulled rack out of glides unclipped the broken rack adjustor, clipped in new one, using opposite side as a guide for the clips

First I shut off the power and the water then I disconnected the drain hose. Then I removed the dishwasher from under the counter and turned it up side down. I remover the pump retaining screw turned the pump, removed it. installed the new pump reinstalled the retaining screw. and reinstalled the dishwasher under the counter. I reconnected the drain and water then turned on the power. the dishwasher is working great. Thanks PartSelect for the fast delivery and the right part.

All parts snap together. Following the the rack on the right side, If i can do it anyone can. It was great to save the cost of a repair bill.

First, open the stops at the end of the tracks and remove the upper rack. Use a screwdrive to gently pry off the main clip (with 3 tiny plastic tabs) that attaches the rack adjuster to the rack. Remove the two positioners. It was a little tricky removing the piece that covers the housing of the rack adjuster which rotates into position. I ended up breaking one of the brittle wheels on the rack adjuster on the other side during the repair when I set the rack on its side. Be sure to order rack adjusters for both sides at the same time--don't just replace one side, because the other roller wheel pins that attach the rollers are equally fragile.
