665KUDS23HBAL0 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

Took out drawer. Replaced broken/missing wheels and axles. Used pliers to snap them together.

broke off the remaining roller axles, pushed the new roller axles into place, then snapped the little wheels onto new axles. I FELT LIKE WONDER-WOMAN, FIXING MY OWN DISHWASHER!!!

Watched "Steve" install the drain and wash impeller kit and then I did it.

My husband took the dishwasher apart three times, it was a little frustrating, but was worth the $50 part because it made his wife, very, very happy! A dishwasher operating is on the top 5 list of favorite electronic items in our house.

The repair was simplicity itself. Remover the sprayer arm, removed the torx screws, replaced the seal, and reversed the process of disassembly. When I found out where the dishwasher was leaking from, I called KitchedAid and was ready to replace the overflow float. The part was 42.00 and wouldn't have fixed the problem. When I found this web site and read other peoples experience, I checked the pump seal, and it was obvious that it had blown out. That saved me a Loy of time and money.

scraped out old, poped in new

I popped all the new parts in place and all is well.

Simple replacement with new part

You need a properly sized hex (Allen) wrench to get the screws out. Basically simple: remover bottom roller tray, unscrew large plastic holding bolt, remove lower spray arm, unscrew bolts (be sure the wrench is sized right or you might strip the heads), and replace gasket; then reverse procedure. Chances are if the gasket was bad, it will be very obvious (out of circular slot and stretched).

Push off - Push on new plastic Part. Very stiff. Used a wooden spoon handle!!! Job done!

Turn off the breaker to the dishwasher - there will be water very near the motor and other electrical components. I first scooped and towelled all the water out of the bottom of the dishwasher. The drain valve can be accessed from the bottom front of the dishwasher without pulling the unit out from under the counter. There were 4 screws to remove the 2 bottom metal panels. Next use pliers to loosen and slide back the hose clamp connected to the drain. Have a towel ready and pull the drain hose off the white check valve. The check valve can then be removed by unscrewing it - you may need to use pliers. Put the new one on and everything back together.

Sorry to say that all I did was screw the cap on in about 3 seconds. Not a repair.

I had called an appliance repairman...I gave him the model #- he called me back in 2 seconds and said it was too old.. no parts available.. wanted to charge me $100 to come and look.I found parts select online. the part came in one day... and my handy man/put the new bracket on.. the dishwasher was put in new in 1991 and still works like a charm..thanks thanks

At first I looked at the screen on the inlet to clean it out, but though dirty that wasn't it. I ran the dishwasher thru its cleaning cycle, adding water by hand whenever it was called for and it worked fine so I eliminated the master control as a problem. I then checked the overflow relay to make sure that it hadn't permanently opened by shorting it during a fill up cycle and that didn't work. I then ordered a new inlet valve cause that seemed like the most likely culprit. Simply disconnected the inlet pipe with a wrench and unscrewed the valve and put the new one in. Works like a top. Great dishwasher - Great site for ordering parts.

I tried going online to get some diagnostic help and never found a site that had a step by step help plan. I then did a little reading on different sites, to eliminate and perhaps diagnose my problem I use epoxy to glue the impeller(which spun freely) to the screw and it held long enough for me to see how it worked. I surfed sites to find the least expensive drain and wash impeller kit. One site had a cheaper price but I chose Parts Select because of the shipping so the end result was the best results for me. I am not sure but the estimated time was 1.7 or 1.8 days delivery that I did not believe would happen. When I received the parts and did the repair my final time from ordering was less than a day and a half. I could not have done the job myself without the video because the parts were very different. My biggest obstacle, other than my ignorance, was some sort of chemical on the screw that would not allow me to loosen it. I used a dremel to cut the head off and then a torch to heat the stub so I could remove it. After I received the kit I saw a chemical on the screw threads so online research told me heat loosens the chemical. My dishwasher is around 25 years old,I have worked on it three times now and replacing the impeller was the most difficult task to date. Should it last and develop another problem I will go to parts select first and start my quest.
