KUDI21DS3 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

One of the axles broke off, requiring no removal. The other wheel broke off, but the axle remained. That required squeezing (pliers) to push out. Replacement was easy; just put wheel onto axle and push axle through mounting space. Total: 5 minute job.

Very easily!! I am 19 years old and repaired the dishwasher for my grandmother in about 15 minutes. Great products.

After checking for blockages in the drain line and finding none, I disassembled the wash wand assembly and discovered a gasket that had really deteriorated. Since there was nothing else apparently wrong, I took a chance and went shopping for the gasket. None of my local stores could provided me one so I searched on line and found it at Partselect. It had to be special ordered and that took a while, but when it arrived, I put the new gasket in and had a perfect dishwasher again for less than 15 bucks. The schematic I was able to print from your website was invaluable.

I was trying to avoid having to buy a new dishwasher before the holidays. I went on YouTube and found the dirty dishes may mean bad water inlet valve. So, I used my meter to see if the valve was bad and sure enough it was. I ordered the part from Part Select. Once I received the part I removed the old one. Be sure to put a towel down to catch the excess water. The bracket that came with the new prt was a different configuration, but i swapped the new with old and it worked. I addition to the valve being bad the dishwasher upper and lower arms were somewhat clogged. I looked online again and followed YouTube instructions to clean. The dishwasher is cleaning like it is new. I would recommend to anyone doing work on their dishwasher to use part select and thoroughly clean the upper and lower arm.

Old roller wheels and axles were broken and already falling off. I simply replaced the roller axles and snapped on the new roller wheels.

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

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

Warm rollers and holders in warm water for 2 min each slide on all done

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!

While replacing the water valve I broke the float switch. Ordered the switch....it was here in 2 days. Great service! Will use this company again....I hope not all that much. lol
I am a retired Sears service tech, but not a dishwaher tech.
Love Parts Select!
Thanks guys,

I simply removed the broken wheel brackets and snapped new ones on. then the wheel just sliped on. It took some good hand strength.

Removed the door cover and replaced the bi-metal.

put new switch and new gasket on old float stem with old nut. but it still overflows about 1/2 cup of water through stem

The installation video is excellent. What should have been a simple fix proved to be difficult for me. Perhaps a function of not enough hand strength to "snap" the axles in place. After trying to use a screwdriver to pry open a side enough to slide on and soaking in hot water to make the axles more pliable -- neither of which worked -- I turned the rack on its side, inserted the axle in the opening and then stepped on it. Voila! That worked beautifully and the next two were easy using the "stand-on-it" method. For anyone with a similar issue as far as hand strength, I recommend this method.

Simple replacement with new part
