KUDE45CVSS0 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

Removed broken tin row. Replaced with new tine row. Tokk less than 1 minute.

The air just unscrews with one twist and the new arm twist right back on. No tools needs. Saved me $100 service call.

I had a common issue on many dishwashers, the final drain cycle was not draining but the pump was trying to turn. Also, the drain pipe was clean. This issue caused a burning smell, like a circuit board heating up. Half plastic smell, half electrical. I bought a replacement pump, followed the pump replacement video instructions from PartsSelect, and it was replaced in under 15 minutes without any tools.

Without the rinse cap appliance was not rinsing properly, partselect made it easy to find necessary information to find part. Had it within a couple of days, replaced the cap within seconds and works just like before.

I followed another story for the same repair. Worked great.

Took off the old wheels and placed them on the new rack - fast and easy if you watch the video.

Partselect provided me with tracking information for my order, they also provided an installation video. So when I replaced the door seal it was a few minutes to remove the old seal and about five minutes to put in the new one and it was all done.Thanks to Parts select it was a piece a cake

Following the video was quick and easy. Without the video it would have been slow and painful.

pulled the dishwasher out (took the most time-1 hour) and 30 min. to install new door balance kit and springs. Replace both sides while the unit was out.

Pulled washer out far enough to put 2x4’s under front feet. Removed front panel, I clipped wire connector and unplugged it. Pushed plastic locking lever in and twisted unit counterclockwise. Wiped inner rim and reversed above procedure to assemble.

removed kick panel with screwdriver, 90 degree turn of screw. Put towel under drain pump. Disconnect drain hose by loosening spring clip with pliers to provide access to pump. released spring clip on old motor while turning counterclockwise to separate pump from drain reservoir. inspect drain reservoir from inside machine to remove any foreign objects. Installed new pump by indexing attachment flanges to notches in reservoir and turning pump clockwise until locking tab makes audible click. reattach drain hose insuring hose is contacting "stop" ribs on drain hose pipe. Run wash cycle on machine to insure there are no leaks. Re-attached kick panel.

remover the nut inside of the dishwasher under the float took bottom plate off open the plastic housing installed new the new float switch plug in the wires snip in the new housing put the unit back in the hole put nut back on and put the bottom plate back on easy as pie

Due to the way I installed the appliance originally it was not necessary to disconnect supply water nor the drain connections. When the cord broke the spring came out of the point of connection to the appliance. It some "finagelling" to reattach the spring.After some "select vocabulary" it hooked into the correct spot and the rest was history.

Repaired according to the video attached to the part I ordered. The problem is that though the replacement part look like the one I was replacing, once installed I realized the electrical connector on the replacement part did not match the cable connector from the dishwasher control panel. I called support to find out my options and got a message that because of the scary Covid-19 issue, nobody was available to tell me what my options are. So I have a nice, new, installed replacement part that won't work because of different electrical connectors. I'm happy though that the governors and politicians don't have to worry about things like this. They continue to receive their paychecks and can simply order new appliances rather than try to fix 18 year-old equipment like the rest of us.

The first try didn't go well. The door didn't stay locked because the new seal was preventing it.
I pulled it back off for the second try and first I let it soak in the hot water for a few minutes to soften the rubber. Then I lubricated it with Vaseline and now the seal got in the grove easily and completely. I believe that that step was critical to ensure 100% success rate. After that everything was fine, the door locked properly, and, of course, there was no more leaking.
