KDTM704EBS1 KitchenAid Dishwasher - Instructions

Pulled dishwasher out of compartment, removed all parts underneath. removed inner parts, removed pump assembly. Installed new pump assembly and grommet. Reassembled in reverse order, test ran and unit was operating normal and no leaks.

Per suggestions from other reviews, I looked for You Tube videos for replacing this part. The video I used was completely necessary, but moved way too fast, so required lots of stopping, rewinding and starting again. But I managed to get the old rack adjuster removed and the new one installed without too much trouble.
Then I tried installing it in the pull-out rail. The front connector on the new adjuster would not fit into the appropriate slot. Initially I thought maybe the part was defective, but determined that the dimensions were as accurate as my eye and tape measure could evaluate. Finally, I settled on the expedient of filing away at least 1/16" from one edge of the slot so that the connector would drop into place.
Not sure why this discrepancy existed but the problem appears to be resolved.

Remove power source, then remove old power cord.Run new power cord through existing opening ang attach to existing power box on bottom o f dishwasher. Install electrical leads and device ground. Reinstall cabinet bottom. Check out operation by running a cycle. All ok!

Easy. Part just snapped in and took all of about a minute. Now the top rack doe snot slide back and forth.

Pushed to be into place

followed directions, a kid could have done it,

Removing and installing the new part was fairly simple. We removed the water hose first since it is the easiest to see. We then removed the screw holding the part to the metal frame. We slid out the part out of the holder to remove the black hose and electric plug (it is like the old phone jacks). After it was completely off we plugged in the electric to the new part which was very easy since it can only go in one way. We slid the new part in place and attached the black hose. We attached the piece to the frame with the one screw and last we attached the gold (garden hose) connection. We turned on the water to look for any leaks then turned the power on and ran it through a partial rinse to be sure there were no leaks.

Pulled the dishwasher out and took the two door balance links off and put the new ones on and attached to the spring. It was very quick and easy

1st pull dishwasher out. attach the new cable to the spring. reinstall the spring on the frame. Use pliers to pull slack in the cable to attach the cable to the door. The hardest thing about the install was putting the screws in the side of the dishwasher to the cabinets.

remove the bottom plate with a nut driver and back off on the front leg adjusters. Slide out the dishwasher approx 8-10 inches and remove the broken link. The new one goes on easily. Look at the opposite side if in doubt as to how to attach. Slide the unit back in and tighten the leg adjusters until the unit is secure. reattach the lower front panel which hides the leg adjusters, etc. You're done!

I just looked at the matching piece on the other side of the rack and used it as a guide to install the new part.

Pulled dishwasher from under the counter and replaced the plastic part with the new part and attached the new cord to the door spring and to the replacement plastic part. replaced the dishwasher under the counter and replaced the kick plate. All Done.

I watched the provided video and followed the very easy installation instructions. It was awesome.

I replaced the holder that connects the top dishwasher rack on the drawer slide. I took it apart carefully so I could remember how to assemble everything back. I did have trouble for a few minutes to get it clipped and I checked the opposite side. After I pondered it for a few moments and did a couple of trial runs at it, it magically slid into the slot, the other did, too, and it was good to go. So very, very pleased!

Started with some disassembly of the door to observe the electronics first. Hoped to find a fuse I could replace. No luck. Found the circuit board underneath just above the floor behind the kick plate. Ordered the new circuit board from part select.
Regular shipping means we had to hand wash for several days. Didn't want to take off the door or remove the unit from the cabinet which made the replacement process a bit tight. Removed one nut to move the power junction box out of the way, and two more to lower the metal box that supports the circuit panel. Learned that I could have removed it by sliding it to the left about an inch, but couldn't see how it was attached. Plug and play circuit board had about 8 connections. Disconnected the old one, reconnected the new one and snapped it into place. Put the metal support box back in, then slid the panel into support then to the right until it locked. Put the power junction box back and then the kick plate. Turned on the breaker. Fixed. Paid about $160 for the part i think. Glad they had the part I needed for this unit. If I had to do it again, would need just about 5 minutes to complete now that I know the steps. Pretty simple.
Also tightened the door handle from behind while I had it all apart. Loose handle had been annoying. Unit works like new.
