66515708890 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

Removed broker washer arm mount with screwdriver and replaced. New parts clipped right on to upper rack, no tools needed. Didn't really need to replace the tube holder but it was brittle so I put it in the order.

Followed instructions as the videos on this page show.

First I removed the upper basket from the dishwasher by taking off the end clips from the right and left hand slides. The clips are removed by prying them gently upward with a screwdriver.

Second I removed the old spray arm assembly by slipping the old tube off of the rotary fitting.

Third I removed the center screw from the rotary fitting which holds the upper spary arm in place. I also removed the small plastic piece (block) which is clipped to the wire basket.

Fourth I installed the new spray arm assembly making sure to orient the plastic spacer block so that the spray arm rotates freely. The spacer block clips on the wire tray and the assembly is held in place with a single screw.

The new assembly includes a one piece extension tube and end funnel so it is really easy to install.

used a screw driver, removed 2 screws, removed broken piece, screwed in new part ....all done :)
took less than 15 minutes to do*

i just wanted to let everyone know..I ordered the part on a monday and received it on wednesday I was amazed...the part fit perfectly ...and was very easy to install myself....ty so much ...

It was very simple, the repair took less than 5 minutes start to finish. I removed the top dish rack, took out two screws and the broken part slipped right off the water feed tube. I slipped the new upper wash assembly on the end of the tube and replaced one screw. My dishwasher is an older model and the new part only has a hole for one screw but I cannot tell any difference in stability or performance. I put the top rack back on and the dishwasher is as good as before.

Used nut driver to remove old spray arm assembly on top rack. Reinstalled the new assembly, clamped the holding assembly onto the rack, tightened the holding assembly--that's it.

I poked the old gasket with a fork tine so I could get a grip on the old gasket as I didn't have pliars, pulled it out in less than 4 seconds, folded the new gasket in half and started center top of the slot the old gasket was in and pushed the new gasket in on each side from the top to the bottom. Very easy. I'd say it took me longer to open the package with my teeth than in doing all of the above.

Watched repair video attached new parts and was done

Used both the Wash Arm Retainer Nut and the Seal. The nut had broken in half and the old seal had cracked, so removed the lower wash arm, which included the top half of the nut, and was able to unscrew the bottom half of the nut from the machine. Put on the seal ring and then put the nut into the wash arm and secured it to the machine. The dishwasher works great--and it is 17 years old!! Thanks, l!!

Followed video. No Problem with installation.

The piece snapped into place in the upper wire shelf, so it was quick and easy to fix. The only glitch was that the part was slightly different from the original, even though the item pictured on the website matched the original part. As a result, the spray arm sits slightly lower and now hits my dinner plates on one side of the lower shelf, so i cannot wash as many plates at one time as I used to. But at least the washer is working again. I will just have to live with the new limitation.

removed old spray arm and hose. You must keep and reuse bracket to attach new spray arm to the upper rack. 20 year old dishwasher now works perfectly. Less than 5 minute install

I watched the Video and it was so easy. I feel I saved my self an 85.00 charge for an appliance repair person.

Unlatch the rail clips on upper rack slides, slide rack off the rails. Flip rack upside down, use a philip screwdriver and remove screw that holds propeller to upper spray arm mount. Remove clamp of broken spray arm mount with philip screw driver. Replace with new upper spray arm mount (different design) and no tools needed. Just snap it in place where old one was. Put propeller over the spray arm mount and reuse screw with washer to tighten. Return rack back in the dishwasher and reattach the rail clips. For the rinse aid cap, the cap broke off. I used a nose plier to remove (unscrew) the remaining piece. Replace with new rinse aid cap. Dishwasher is running normal again.

Polled old rack out, removed water cone from old rack with quarter counter clockwise turn. Install cone in new rack. Slide new rack in washer. Done
