6651598999 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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 new seal and glue. Your company was great. However, the part had changed and did not agree with the installation instructions. After calling the friendly person at your company to determine if I had the right part(it did not have a white stripe on it and did not look like the old part), I followed the instructions and it was easy. No leak-happy family.

Replace previous rack.

I followed the illustrative that accompanied the part and bingo, it was done. The instructional video was perfect....

I watched the video for the installation which was very easy to follow. I received my part kit quickly and was able to remove the old parts and replace with the new parts. Every thing went just like the video had shown. Glasses that usually sit on the top rack came out squeaky clean now.

1. Saw problem - dishes not very clean and hose hanging down.
2. Removed upper tray (hardest part until I found the trick of using needle nose pliers to hold locking tab on clip back while pulling up on clip).
3. Realized problem when I saw large split in hose, so found model number and used PartSelect.
Ordered replacement kit - evidently hose itself not available.
4. about 3 days later - use FedEx ground unless you REALLY need it next day - parts kit arrived.
5. Removed old parts (nut driver required) and installed new parts - keep track of sequence to remove old parts and where they go as there was no installation guide with kit. But it's not rocket science.
Dishwasher now ready for another 10+ years.

Got the replacement part from Part Select which had been redesigned to include the previously 3 separate parts into 1. FIRST I took a picture of how the old parts were connected up to the other parts. I thought I wouldn't need a new upper sprayer arm but I did; which was why it was included. Don't think that you have extra parts (you don't). Using a phillips screwdriver removed the old upper sprayer arm assembly. It just falls off, so be prepared to support the underside with your other hand. Also removed rear support hanger. Once off the parts just go back very easily. Just have to watch where you put the new rear support hanger so it doesn't interfere with the upper sprayer arm. Insert the new screw, give the upper sprayer arm a spin to check clearance and you're done. The thing that took me the longest was finding the phillips screwdriver. And...PS - I'm a 68 yr old Grandma

Removed the top basket and replaced the spray arm kit. Put basket back in. Thanks
