KUDB220T6 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

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

connected tube to spray arm and attached to back of dish wash machine.

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.

This was sooo easy. The key was the "tip" on this website to lubricate the parts with dish soap. They slid right on. It works perfectly. Most important, I am a Hero with the wife ... that gets special rewards!!

The tube had holes from being used but the dishwasher still works great. I researched this part and it was a great price and really easy to fix. The picture looks different than what the tube looks like in the dishwasher but it is correct. Definitely put soap on the ends to help glide it on. Took me 2 minutes to fix.

simply pieced together the "tube"

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!

Took the old one off then used canola oil to put on the inside of the tube and it went on easy.

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.

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.)

The replacement worked fine, but the website could have been a bit more re-assuring in terms of showing the image of the part. It was not possible on the website to determine whether the piece was going to fit, as the piece as shown was flat/oval on both ends, where the fitting for the water feed is round. The site could have explained that this was flexible material that would form itself to the round feed connection. The measurements of the part should also be given. The price was right, so I bought it anyway, and hoped. As I have said, it DID work fine. You need to clarify the item on the website.

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

slid old tube pieces off slid new hose on

Removed the old tube with the aid of a knife to cut one end off the fitting. Then I lubed each end of the tube with dish washing soap and slipped them on. Done in 10 minutes. Easier to do if the top rack is removed for better access to the hose connections.

The Rubber water hose was missing and the upper wash/rinse blade wouldn't work. I thought no way am I going to be able to get parts for this 1993 dishwasher. Dishwasher was still in great shape, thought I would have to replace the dishwasher for a few hundred dollars. But it only cost me $31 for the 3 parts I needed. I was thrilled! I'm sure glad PartSelect had the missing parts. No tools were needed, I pushed the spray arm receiver onto the rubber water delivery tube. Then just slipped the rubber hose into place, done.
