6651598999 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

Cleaned area, applied sealant and laid the sealant in. Unfortunately, it did not work. Still leaks. Going to the maytag store to get another and try again.

Removed spray bar by removing the plastic finger thumb screw and replace as shown by you web page. Very simple.

The first part we had ordered was incorrect. When we called the company, the person was very helpful, and understanding. The correct part was reordered and easily installed, after the old gasket was removed. The gasket area was cleaned and installation was as simple as the video. Thank You

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 ...

Removed top rack from dishwasher, removed broken clips - 2 out of three were snapped, and replaced them with FOUR - spaced more regularly to take the stress since this is the second time 2 out of the 3 had snapped. Simple job; rack swings well now, folds easily and clips securely upright.

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.

First I removed the nut holding down the lower washarm in place. I then lifted up the lower washarm where it's held in place by the nut. I replaced the two new parts: The lower sprayarm seal that seats underneath the lower washarm and the washarm bearing ring that seats on the top of the lower washarm just underneath the nut. A schematic parts list diagram can be downloaded on the KitchenAid website. The wobbling motion of the lower washarm still seems to have the same amount of play as it had before I replaced the two parts. The lower washarm itself is in fine shape including the nut. I even attempted several other different ways to install the seal and bearing ring, yet the washarm still wobbles when I manually spin it. I called KitchenAid to find out if wobbling of the lower washarm was normal. Unfortunately, the person I spoke to didn't seem to me to knowledgable enough in this area.

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!!

The clip configuration combined with how the tine bar was suppose to snap in and out of the clip was actually quite confusing but once I was able to figure out how to slip the clip onto the tine bar the repair took less than 10 seconds.

2 minutes

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
