KUDE20IXBL6 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

simply line up the new pin with the rectangular slot in the kick panel and metal panel behind, slide the pin in and turn it with a flat blade screw driver.
NOTE: the original pin was black. A black replacement part cost $29 plus shipping! A knock-off pin was only $6 plus shipping. I got the cheap one and colored it with a black Sharpee marker before installation.

Watch your video about my dishwasher symptoms. Move water tube for upper rack to the right and release lower spray arm. Remove 4 clutch head screws from filter cover and remove. Dig out 10 years of undisolved soap and reassemble.

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.

The old filter simply unscrews and the new one screws in.

My husband did the repair. It was very easy. He basically just popped off the old wheels and popped on the new ones.

PULLED BROKEN CLIP OFF AND SQUEEZED NEW ONE IN. I HAD TO USE PLIERS TO SQUEEZE TOGTHER SINCE i AM 77 YEARS OLD AND HANDS ARE NOT THAT STRONG ANY MORE. I HAD ALSO WATCHED THE INTERNET VIDEO TO MAKE SURE I COULD HANDLE THIS CORRECTLY. 10 MINUTES MAX TO UNLOAD TOP RACK AND PUT TOGETHER.

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.

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.

I took the valve off and actually hooked 110 volts to the vale and tried to blow through it and it would not let air pass through it. I replaced the the new valve in about 15 minutes and it works fine

leveled dishwasher, it was leaning forward, raised front 1/2'", to get level.
no More leaks, WOULD LIKE TO RETURN DOOR SEAL. DID NOT USE SEAL.

THANKS,
PETE GODSHALK

Remove the 4 torch head screws that secure the control panel. Unplug it from the door assembly. Remove the 6 torch head screws that secure the front of the door. Unplug the pigtail left from the control and discard it. Plug in the new control panel with the new pigtail provided. Set the new control panel and the front door panel in place and install the top 2 torch head screws in the front door panel to secure both pieces. Install the other 4 torx head screws in the door panel and then install the 4 torx head screws in the control panel. Job done.

These wheel assembly that came on the lower rack of my dishwasher were junk! They started falling off within 6 months. I put them back on to the point that the pin in the center of the wheels would no long stay in place, thus the frustrating situation of the wheels falling off often.

Assembly was easy peasy!

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