WU4500Y0 Roper Dishwasher - Instructions

Both springs (8066018 and 3368999) were replaced as recommended in your troubleshooting guide, but did not resolve the problem. Finally the Dual Motor, 3374501, was replaced. During the above, the plastic face of the door fell off, which created a nuisance task before proceeding to fix the original problem. However, while replacing the motor, I realized the purpose of the two, T-shaped studs sticking out of the motor. It is absolutely necessary that these sit inside the slots which engages the sliding plastic cover, which is spring loaded, in order to engage the release of the soap dispenser door. It was truly a learning experience, but I got it done.

I looked online to see a video. Dad to pop lid off soap dispenser. Slide a plastic part to the left n the spring slide off. Video showed how to place prongs on spring . Then had to lift the upper part of spring to lift onto plastic part of soap dispenser. That was it.

Unfortunately it still doesn't work. I asked Ina email to your company for any suggestions, No reply.

New gasket did not fix problem. Cleaned air vent cover for steam to exit. Gasket not the problem but new one looks good. thank you

follow the video, no problem, however, its still not draining after the cycle is finish now I don't know what to do.

The lower dish rack rolls directly out of the dishwasher without problem - there is no permanent attachment. The new rack comes as a kit, which includes the 4 required dish rack wheels (Part # 6 in the diagram). One part (only) from the original dish rack needs to be removed and re-installed on the new rack - the upper spray arm tower (Part #5 in the diagram). That is easily removed from the original rack with a 1/8 counterclockwise turn, to disengage the 'feet', and installed on the new rack with a 1/8 clockwise turn. The kit is designed to allow for use on multiple models, so there are 'extra' parts left over, after it is used for the DU8500XX-2 dishwasher. These can be discarded.

I USED A PLUMBER

Kit didn't have the center conical piece. Easy to switch tho. I am impressed at the speed of which the part arrived.

After cleaning the filter located on top left of door(used a screw driver to pry out) and following the install gasket video problem solved.

Removed and replaced leaking water inlet valve, 10 minutes and saved me a hundred in plumber fees.

The whole job took less than 5 minutes...no tools were needed The diagnosis was right on the money

door gasket old the vent was pluged up full of black slime cleaned out and door stopped leaking

Swapped out the old upper dish rack with a new one. A video made the change simple.

I grabbed the lower right end of the gasket with my Leatherman Tool pliers and pulled out the old gasket.
I installed the new gasket. No cleaning was necessary.
It took less than five minutes. It now works like new.
I ordered the part with standard delivery and it was here in just a couple of days. Very easy fix.

I needed to cut 1/4inch off the panel and unscrew the side piece which held it in place....
insert the new piece and put back the 3 screws. Done!

Pulled out the old with needle nose pliers. Pushed in new door seal with fingers.
