KUDC24SESS5 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

Very easy to snap in. I would recommend to make them more slippery to snap in. Maybe use a little soap or place them in hot water before you place them on dishwasher tray.

At first I considered replacing the gasket on my own but was not sure If that was the problem. I had a service person come in (at great expense) to tell me it may or may not be the problem but he could order the gasket and replace it. I did it myself.

I removed the old gasket by hand, simply by pulling it out of its track. I sprayed clean water in the track to clean out old soap and debris. I soaked the new part in warm water for a few minutes to soften and lubricate it. I centered the gasket in position and began pushing it into the track with a one inch putty knife, being careful not to damage the rubber. There is a slot along the gasket that will accept a flat tool to push it in. At the corners, I had to use a screwdriver to work around the curves. In a few minutes the gasket was in and no more leaks. It couldn't be easier.

Removed the old mount from the upper rack. Removed the broken stem from the old mount that was attached to the arm. Attached the new mount to the spray arm. Attached the mount and arm to the rack.

I looked up the part on the Internet and checked locally. The part had to be ordered locallybso I placed my order on line. The part came quickly and the instructions were fairly clear. The parts just clipped together which made it vey easy to so and it is nicer than the rack we had before.

Turned off the power to the Dishwasher. Removed 6 Torx screws holding control panel cover. Disconnected the connectors to the control assembly. Removed and replaced the control board. Replaced the thermal fuse and the door switch. Reconnected the connectors. Reassembled the control panel cover. Turned on power and tested the DW. All OK.

Simply followed the instructions that were provided with the part.
Locking the inside vented piece to the outside assembly was difficult because it is located deep along the side of the dishwater (leverage) and I was not sure how much pressure to apply to the part for fear of breaking it. But it did snap into place after several attempts.

Hey parts select, I'm Julia's husband and the repair was a simple remove and replace. Only one screw to hold the manifold together and the mounting hardware that we had to order separately was a snap in piece which was different form the original but went in just fine. You saved me from having to buy a new dishwasher which Julia was more than happy to go shopping for!! Thanks!!

Removed 2 screws that held the old mount and washer arm in place, new mount was very easy to install, it snapped in, only one screw needed, remounted the washer arm and the job was done. I was really impressed with the ease of ordering and how quick it got here (3 days), also the scematics you have online are very helpful. I printed them out since I don't have the owners manual any longer, they're very helpful in matching up and ordering the right part which saves a lot of time, also I like the way you can just search by model number and appliance name to find the right parts, makes the entire process really easy. I know I will continue to shop here when the need arises. It really cuts down on expensive repair costs.

I had replaced the control board a month or two earlier. Then smelled plastic burning. I noticed the Sta-con connecters in the molex plug had burned - that's what took out the control board. The fuse assembly came with new connectors - so you know this is a known problem with the machine. If you're handy you can buy the thermal fuse from Newark for $0.88 and replace it by soldering - but you need to replace the sta-cons. They corrode and the bad connection causes the heat making the thermal trip.

I simply had to hook up the power cord to the dishwasher so i could plug it into the outlet rather than direct wire the appliance. Everything went very smoothly. Everything needed for installation other than tools was provided. Easy to follow instructions if you know a little about electrical wiring.

DEFINITELY 5***** Stars
The piece arrived, and my husband was able to pop out the old flexrow and pop in the new one.....took less than one minute. Voila...back in business again.

We had just made the (big) decision to not renew the warranty. The dish washer is 10 1/2 years old, and we figured we'd cross our fingers...never having a problem with it. A week later the flexrow broke. I called KitchenAide...they would/could send an entire bottom rack for $135.00. I found PartSelect, easily found the diagram and correct part, and for less than $30.00 we ordered it and it arrived at our front door within 48 hours. You can't beat that for quality and fast service.
Thank you PartSelect.

Took the bottom panel off and felt with fingers to replace spring with out pulling dishwasher out from enclosure.
Fairly simple

I went back to the web site to make sure I'd ordered the right part.?? looked at the diagram and then watched your little video.?? He had the part hooked opposite of what was shown. (The arm wouldn't rotate) So I turned it arround. While he was still??. It took me less that 5 min and the dishwasher is working Great.????

1) Removed the two panels below the door.
2) Unscrewed the two screws holding the dishwasher to the upper cabinet facing.
3) Pulled dishwasher out 6-8 inches to gain access to springs located on the side.
4) Removed the broken spring.
5) Attached the new spring.
6) Openned and closed the door to make sure spring was tight enough.
7) Pushed dishwasher back in.
8) Rescrewed cabinet facing screws
9) Rescrewed floor panels.

Only problem was with ordering ... PartSelect part number is different than the FSP-Whirlpool part number. PartSelect should provide a cross-reference table if there is a difference between OEM number and PartSelect number.

Install too less that a minute. Fit perfectly.
