66213043K112 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

Replaced latch switch with parts-select whirlpool (usa) model (good choice) and unit still wouldn't turn on. I then turned 115 vac power off to unit for 1 minute and then back on and unit worked correctly with no additional problems. .

Removed front panel and screwed old dispenser. Torx screwdriver and tiny nut driver a must!

I removed the screws on the inside of the door. Removed panel from the outside. Disconnected the power wires to the panel. Disconnected the wires to the latch switch. Removed the latch assebly. Put new assembly in place. Connected swtich wire. Connected panel wire. Put panel back on dishwasher door. Installed panel retaining screws. Job Complete!

Installed the rubber grommet and the door was fixed.Wish the product was made to lasts,second time in three years the part had to be replaced.

star bit to take inside door screws out (2 long screws in the top corners) - wife held door to the side - unscrewed dispenser, unplug dispenser power supply - pull out old dispenser - install the new dispenser (there is a gasket flap that goes over the dispenser when you put the new one in place before the screws go in) - it is easier if two people hold the door panel when sliding it over the stops to align the screw holes - very simple.

This was one of the easiest repair jobs I've done. The only reason it took over 15 minutes was because when I put the front cover back on I did not line up one side properly and had to take it off again. No big deal. This replacement part truly is just a plug and play replacement. Awesome!

Electricity to the dishwasher was turned off at the electrical panel. I removed two screws from the bottom plate where the dishwasher meets the floor. I removed another bottom plate that had insulation attached to it that was behind the first plate. I also removed 6 screws from the inside of the dishwasher front panel. The screws are located along the edge of each side of the front panel. Once these screws were removed I was able to remove the front panel that acts as a cover for the outside of the dishwasher. With the front panel removed I noticed there was a bracket holding the soap dispenser in place attached by 6 very small screws. These had to be carefully removed so as not to strip them. With the bracket removed it appeared I could pop out the soap dispenser unit from the dishwasher door. However there were two small metal tabs that kept the soap dispenser in place. These needed to be gently pried up to free the dispenser unit. Before removing the old soap dispenser I unplugged the electrical connector that was attached to it. Once the old soap dispenser was removed I popped the new one in until the little metal tabs clicked it into place. The electrical connector was attached to the new soup dispenser. I re-attached the bracket that held the soap dispenser in place using the 6 teeny tiny screws and attached the front facing cover by putting the 6 edge screws back in. The two panels found near the bottom of the unit were re-attached. Turned the juice back on from the electrical panel and ran the dishwasher as a test. I monitored for leaks and functionality of the new soap dispenser. Repair complete.
