KUDA220TWH5 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

I removed the old hose, I lightly coated the id of the new tube with vasoline, both ends, and then heated the oblong end with the hair dryer to soften it and it slid on with litte force. The round end installed without heating.

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.

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!

Finally listened to advice of others online and decided to replace inlet valve. Btw, the problem is NOT the inlet screen. It was completely clean in my case. Issue is with internal seals that swell over time and restrict flow leading to low water level.

Unplugged unit, removed lower front panel (two screws on outside upper corners), undid compression fitting on inlet supply line, removed two screws holding valve bracket to frame, disconnected electrical connections to valve, used pliers to compress hose clamp to remove valve outlet hose, used adjustable wrench and some elbow grease to remove small inlet elbow (its on tight!) from valve inlet, put teflon tape on elbow threads to reinstall on new valve, reverse removal instructions to put everything back. All done! MUCH cleaner dishes!

Loved how easy it was to deal with you!
Part was clearly pictured and came immediately!
Very satisfying to fix it so easily.
Wondered why we waited so long!

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

I pulled off the remains of the old tube and simply slipped the new hose on by hand. Easy as pie!

removed old hose slid the new one on. Easy one minute job.

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 simple. I simply replaced the old water tube with the new one you sent, and it works like new. Piece of cake.

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 tube slid off and I used some liquid soap to spread on the end of each tube and I slid the new tube back on with ease and the upper rack of dishes now get cleaned/rinsed.

Took old one off and put new one on, about a 4 minute job.
The part was about 1/3 of the cost if I had bought it local.

Slipped old one off slid new one on . Took about one minute. Held well and is washing so much better now.

Took the part to the rental house and took the old water delivery tube off by hand and installed the new water delivery tube by hand , it took less than 10 minutes and exactly the right part.
