KUDJ230YAL2 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

Very, very simple. The axles are nylon plastic and snap into the plastic-coated metal grid that forms the lower dishwasher rack. Over time they get brittle and break.
Replacement consists of snapping the old axle out of the rack and snapping the new one in. I replaced some of the wheels at the same time, as we had lost them. The wheels don't seem to wear out, so if you did this repair in time, you could re-use the wheels.
These little axles are EXPENSIVE ($3.50 each!), but for $30 you can replace all eight of them, and your dishwasher rack will work like new again!

I ordered the part and I received it in just 2 days. I took the old rubber water tube off, put a little soap on each end of the new tube and had it in in under 10 minutes. I am a woman in her 60's and I did this myself!

it was a very easy repair thank you

First the water tube arrived two days earlier than what I was expecting. I pulled the old tube off and slipped the new tube on by hand. The dishes in the top rack are now a lot cleaner than they have been for the past couple of months. In the future if I need repair parts this is where I will be coming to get them.

Removed old tube, moistened both ends of new tube with hot water and slid over inlet and outlet holes. Repair done!

I ran the tube under warm water and it was very easy to connect. I would have done it a lot sooner if I had known how easy it would be to find the part and install it.

The hardest thing was getting the old one off and easy snapped the new one on

I removed the roll out top wire rack of the dishwasher, turned it over and pulled the old punctured water supply tube off the force fit connectors on each end. I put a small amount of vaseline lubricant immediately inside the mouth of the new tube at each end. I pressed the ends of the new tube over the force fit connectors and tested them by shaking the pipe. I replaced the rack and fastened it into place.

Used a heat gun (or hair dryer could probably work)to stretch the ends of the hose to slip over areas to connect.

I removed the upper rack from the dishwasher by popping the two rack track stops out of the rack tracks. The old tube came off easily, and the new tube went on very nicely, after lubing each end with a dab of liquid dish soap. I put the rack back on its tracks , popped the track stops back in and my dishwasher was back in business.

screwed it in. Closed the door. Voila, it works!

For several years I endured difficulty in pushing in and pulling out a fully loaded lower dishwasher tray in my KitchenAid Superba dishwasher. The tray would "fall out" out of its "track" and jam requiring me to lift up the whole tray to try to pull it out. Then one of the plastic roller "axles" broke and its wheel fell off. So I went on to Part Select's website to find a replacement. When I got it in the mail I replaced the one that broke. I noticed how much more rigid the wheel then ran on its "track." So I replaced all the roller axles and, lo and behold, the lower tray does not jam anymore. It rolls just like new! I am very satisfied. Chris from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn

Took the tube off and noted that there was a factory drilled hole on the underside that lets water drain. I slipped the new tube over the inlet port and the other end over the rotating washing arm aparatus port and everything worked fine. Very easy and fast repair.

I removed the broken axle with the help of a small screwdriver and replaced it with a new one. Then I installed a new roller, which was easy because all I had to do was push it on with my fingers.

One of the easiest repairs I've ever made on anything and now I'm happy because my wife is happy!

Replaced the tube. It was relatively easy although it did take a small bit of squeezing/reshaping the newer rubber tubing to get it to fit on the outlet (it was a bit snug.)
