Product Description

Dishwasher Water Feed Tube Specifications

This dishwasher water feed tube, also known as the main conduit assembly, is designed to deliver water from the base of the appliance to the upper spray arm, ensuring thorough cleaning across all rack levels. Constructed from durable materials, it fits securely along the back wall of the dishwasher tub and connects directly to the main water supply. By channeling water upward with consistent pressure, it enables the upper spray arm to rotate and distribute water effectively. A damaged or clogged tube can result in poor cleaning performance, leaks, or unusual operational noise. Replacing this component restores proper water flow and supports optimal dishwasher function. Installation is straightforward and typically requires no special tools.

The manifold my washer plugs into the upper port in the tube. Should there be a plug in the lower port of the tube. Doesn't seem to be washing upper rack very well
For model number KUDE45CVSS2

Hi Randy, Thank you for your question. The manifold would plug into the tube in the back of the dishwasher. If there is no water reaching the dishes in the upper rack, check the water pressure that comes into the dishwasher. Also, sometimes if there are too many dishes in the dishwasher, this can prevent the dishes from being cleaned properly. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

There is a small rubber piece in the water distribution structure at the back which has two round pieces that plug the holes, the top rack tube plugs into one of those, depending on the level it is set at. One of the plugs has broken off. If it is the one the rack plugs in to does it matter, or can I just buy the rubber part?
For model number KUDE70FVSS3

Hello Gerry, thank you for getting in touch. No, the rubber plugs are not available as individual items. You will need to replace the water feed tube, part number PS11746787, to fix it. We hope this helps.
