KUDS230Y0 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

I had repaired the hose with duck tape several times, and finally was able to convince my husband to look up the model number etc. went on line to see if I could locate a dealer to get the hose, and that was so easy,
Ordered it, it came in 2 days, and my dishwasher works great again.

It was so easy just took off the old hose and snapped in the new one.

Removed by hand the old water tube and pushed the new tube on. It was no big deal. Itook about 3 mins.

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.)

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.

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 pulled out the old hose and pushed in the new one. Took a little muscle, but was glad that it fit. On line site very helpful with description so that it fit perfectly!

Simply popped on new axles and wheels and dishwasher works like new!

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!

pulled off the old and put on the new. Great pictures on website so I got the right part the first time. Thanks!

It was 94 degrees that day so I set the rubber hose outside in the sun to loosen it up, make it more plyable. I then mixed up some soapy water and doused the ends of the hose with the soapy water and slid the hose right onto the fittings.

There was a small hole in the hose which was not discussed in the directions. I assumed the hole should be installed on the down side to let water drain out after the dishwasher is finished. This will reduce the chance of bacteria building in the hose.

I read the installation tips before I started and picked up the soap mix and heating up the hose before installation. Can be accomplished with a hair dryer if it is not 94+ degrees outside!!!

Thanks,

Jim

Removed the old part. It came out with no problem
due to being brittle and cracked. This part was original to my 15 1/2 year old dishwasher.

Ran hot tap water in the sink and soaked the new "Rubber Water Delivery Tube" for about 5 min. I put a little dish washing liquid on dishwasher part where tube was to be slid onto. Including the soaking time,repair took less than 5 1/2 min.

I'm very pleased by the fact that my part arrived in a little over 1 1/2 days.

Was lucky the part was available. I put liquid detergent on both ends of tube, then slid each end onto each sleeve. Works great now!

I removed the old tube. I rubbed vegetable oil on the inside of both ends. The new tube slipped on with no
problem, and that was the end of the repair.
