WU5650X2 Roper Dishwasher - Instructions

Put the new part on

Removed and installed new door gasket which I found to be a simple task. Ran dishwasher and it still leaked. I then looked at other repairs submitted by your customers with the same problem. One had mentioned removing the lower spray arm and checking the screws around the pump. Sure enough, 2 screws were nearly ready to fall out and all others were loose. Tightened those, reinstalled spray arm, ran the dishwasher and no leaks. A big "Thanks" to you and also to other customers for sharing both their problem and how they were able to fix it. It sure saved me some money!!

Pulled out old gasket with needle nosed pliers, cleaned groove, installed new gasket just like the video provided on website. Took less than 10 minutes.

Got on the computer, located your site and read the repair stories.Thought, I can do this. Ordered the impeller and seal kit. I followed the same procedures as your other customers, however, when I turned it on for a test it still leaked. Went out looked for a new dishwasher, for $389.00. After talking to my wife,(been married over 60 years)decided to try one more time. Went through the same steps. Loosen the plastic ring remove The revolving spraying arm, tipped on the front to get to the bottom. mopped up the water,disconected water, electric, and hoses. Pulled the motor and pump unit, disassembled the pump unit,then I realized I had installed the rubber and plastic bearing backwards. The rubber to rubber wore out real fast. Ordered a new seal kit (no impeller) Put it all back together and it works just like it did 19 years ago. Total cost less than $60.00. It is a good feeling when your able to fix somthing like this, especially ehen your a fat 83 year old. I would like to meet the person that changed this in a half hour.

pulled out the old seal and put in the new, fixed the leak!

Watched the video and did the repair it was easy.

Replacing the cup latch and dispenser cover was pretty easy. First, I removed the inside cover of the door of the dishwasher. Then I carefully removed the plastic covers/slides on the door, removed the broken cup latch and then inserted the new one. Replaced the plastic covers/slides, the reinstalled the inside cover on the dishwasher. Next, I removed the dispenser cover and installed the new one. It snaps off/on, by the way. It only looks like it slides on/off.

I am a 64 year old female and replacing the broken Access Panel was fairly easy for me to do without help. The hardest part was separating the metal bottom part from the broken plastic part in the old access panel. I had to break the plastic away from the metal section using pliars. That took me almost 10 minutes. Slip the decorative plastic facing out of the old piece and into the new one. Attaching the metal piece into the new panel was a "snap". The bottom screws do not need to be removed. Just loosen a bit and slide the new unit onto them. Then using a nut driver screw in the two top screws and then tighten the two lower screws. Now the unit looks like new.

The hardest part was locating the leak. After consulting the other repair suggestions, I concluded that the gasket was a little more worn on one side than the other so I ordered the gasket. The evening before the gasket arrived (quick delivery from partselect.com) I decided to shim out the old gasket with some old door insulation. It made the door harder to close but it didn't leak any more. When the gasket arrived I replaced the old with the new. It leaked more than ever. After reading more repair instructions, I decided to take apart the door vent and check it. It was packed solid with gunk. After a good cleaning, I put everything back together. No leaks! I tried every repair listed except the door vent. Guess steam is a good gunk conduit LOL. I supposed I didn't really need the new door gasket but I can tell the door has a tighter seal now. Here's a tip to watch for. If the door doesn't leak right away after the washer starts, take the door apart and look at the vent. It can look just fine from the outside and that's deceiving. Someone else mentioned the 'leak' timing that finally got my attention and lead to the 'fix.'

Lower panel was easy to replace. Had to apart the trim on the old one and glue. No problems at all. Glad to be able to gets the part to fix. One of the plastic edges that holds the screw broke.

I watched the video that you had on line and the repair was done in a snap. The shipping was fast also.

I pulled off the rubber strip that held in the front panel, removed the old one and put in the new one, then put the rubber strip back on. The access panel I just pulled off the top strip, replacing the old panel with the new and put the top strip back on. Couldn't have been any easier.

I paid a repairman over $100 to tell me he could find nothing wrong with my leaking dishwasher (it didn't leak when he ran it). I narrowed down the problem to a missing water deflector, but decided to replace the door gasket as well. It took less than 5 minutes to do the job. The only tool I used was a pair of needle-nose pliers to grasp the old door gasket and get it coming out of the groove. Thanks PARTSELECT for super-fast shipping and a website that is easy to navigate. I'll be coming back, 'cause all of my appliances are getting some age on them!

The video was of great help. One area that gave me grief was placing the small part with points under the plastic mechanism in the door. I tried to push the points into the open slot. After watching the movie a few more times I was trying to put the part in backwards. A little more explanation at this point in the video would have been a tremendous help. Otherwise, thank you for the video.

Bought a house and with it can an old whirlpool dishwasher in where the soap dispenser lid would latch, as the latch itself was gone. Ordered the latch from part select and used the installation video to switch the latch out. Only problem I came across was that the torx screws at top of he door were free spinning. Ended up using a flat head for leverage to finally get the screws out. Everything works perfectly for once.
