Easy as pie!
So easy I could do it! I pulled the old tube off (after having dirty dishes for weeks and not realizing it was because of a hole in the hose. When I told my husband I was going to call a repairman, he suggesting ordering the part on line and doing it ourselves - no reason not to! Piece of cake!

I removed the rubber water tube before ordering the part. After receiving the part it took less than 2 minutes to replace the part. Now the dishes are clean!!

Dishes in top rack were not getting clean
Took off old hose. It practically fell off.
Used a spoon to widen the ends of new hose and twisted on one end, then other end slipped on. Done!

Dishes in top of washer were not getting clean.
Our diskwasher is over 20 years old. The manufacture did not even list the model anymore. Googled - Kitchenaid parts old. Found your site and order the part on Sat. night. It arrived on Wed. Installed as follows that night.
After reading other reviews on how the job went and seeing that people had problems getting the tube to slide on the outlets I decided to take the rack completely apart so as to have unrestricted access to the connections. Would be easier to work the tube on to them.
First I removed the top rack by releasing the two retainers on the upper rack side rails which hold it up. Then I turned it with bottom up and released all of the plastic clips that held the bottom half of the rack in place. If a clip breaks you can use a nylon cable tie to replace it. Then I took out the screw that holds the metal water bar in place and removed it. Then I took out the screw that holds the plastic part that the water bar was mounted on off. Then with the outlet where the tube was to be mounted not connected to anything it was easy to slide the tube on it. I then was able to slide the tube on to the bracket at the back of the rack. Had to use a screw driver to help get the tube over the round outlet. Then worked it on to where it should be. Reassembled the top rack and put it back on the side rails and washed a load. It worked just like it did when it was new. Saved a service call $75.00 and only took about 30 minutes working at a slow pace.
Love it when everything works like it should.

Loved how easy it was to deal with you!

Very satisfying to fix it so easily.
Wondered why we waited so long!

Rubber water tube to upper rack had begun to decompose

The dishwasher did not do its job well.
It was simple. I simply replaced the old water tube with the new one you sent, and it works like new. Piece of cake.

hole in the tube, wear and tear on it
I removed the old tube--I had taped over the hole. I didn't quite have the hand strength to fit over the ends and push the new tube into place. So, my husband did that at both ends without a problem. I'm relying on PartSelect for when I need parts for my 13 year-old appliances.

the rubber tube was falling apart
In my case the rubber tube was so worn that it came off very easily. I removed the tube, then with a little cooking oil, I lubricated the new hose and easily slipped it into place. Now my dishwasher works great! I ordered the part received it and repaired it for less than $20.00 and in less than 15 minutes.

The rubber tube for the top rack was rotted in half, not allowing the dishes to properly be cleaned.
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.

Cracked water delivery tube
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.)

Hose kept slipping off - stretched out of shape from use and age.
Used a heat gun (or hair dryer could probably work)to stretch the ends of the hose to slip over areas to connect.

The tube on the top split
Our old Kitchenaid Dishwasher was not getting the glasses on the top shelf clean. I looked and found the tube running to the washer arm under the top basket was split.
I replaced the tube. First I put dish soap in the ends of the new tube, so they slipped onto the other parts with only moderate force.
Now the dishwasher is making the glasses in the top basket clean again.
Regards,
Bob
