DU4J-C Magic Chef Dishwasher - Instructions

With watching Video on line it was fairly simply, my son knew exactly what to do, it took him about 20 minutes from start to completion and when tested, dishwasher ran great. We have used it six times and have not had a problem. I would highly recommend this part if you are having the same problem. The video was very good.

They just snapped in to place. Once I realized where they went. They are not the exact rollers needed but will do until I get the right ones. The rack will not come out as far as it should because of the difference. Other than that....easy.

From other comments on this site, I learned that 2 people fixed the problem with a new door gasket; 3 fixed the problem by replacing the dispenser latch. I tried the gasket and it helped some (obviously needed replacement anyway) but then learned that the rubber boot around the soap dispenser latch was torn into two pieces. Replaced it and good-to-go.

After checking out the mechanism, I realized that the wax motor which operates the dispenser was no longer working. I conatacted Part select and on the second day, on a Saturday, Fedex delivered the little wax motor. I simply separated the front panel with the inside panel with 7 screws and a 1/4 inch nut driver. I slipped out the old wax motor, unclipped the two wires and slipped in the new motor. Attached the wires and put the panels back togehter. Voila, the dispenser works perfectly.
Total time, 15 minutes.

I removed the inside panel. This exposed the rear of the control panel. I carefully replaced the defective switch. Only one was bad but of course i replaced both.

I pulled the unit out its bay and saw that one spring was missing. I looked up the parts online and ordered replacement springs and linkages. Using the existing spring and linkage as models, I easily installed the new parts. I ordered spare parts in case the other linkage broke.

Removed 2 each screws from counter top. Pulled washer out 1'. Installed springs and linkage by hand with door closed. Push washer back reinstalled 2 screws.

Used your web site was able to identify correct part very quickly. Received the replacement part in 2 days.
Removed broken part with screw gun only took 20 minutes. Was very please with ease of site and quick delivery.
Thank you

Turned off the water. Disconnected the water supply line. Extracted 2 screws holding the dishwasher. Pulled out the dishwasher. Changed out the nylon spring link. Pushed the dishwasher back into place. Reattached the water line. Turned the water back on.

Spring linkage and postage about $15.00.
Savings on service call and parts about $175.00. What a deal. Thank you PartSelect.

I took off the pump cover, removed the broken part. The support was broken at the threaded area so I needed to remove both pieces. Then I just used the diagram to see how all the pieces fit back together. I always take a picture too just in case I don't remember how it should go back.

Super easy repair.

I removed the gasket from around the dishwasher. Cleans the grove of any dirt, mold or other debris. I started the gasket replacement at the top center of dishwasher by folding the gasket in half to find the center and inserting that center point into the grove just below the latch.i then inserted the rest of gasket with my thumb into the remaking grove first to the right corner then to the left. No told were needed leak was gone

Took off the lower front plastic piece and unscrewed the side panel to snap the new part in place then attached the spring to it.

USED A STAR SCREWDRIVER TO REMOVE THE LOWER SCREEN THEN REMOVED THE SUPPORT NUT BY HAND REPLACED THE LOWER SPRAY ARM & SCREEN WORK BETTER THAN EVER.THE ONLY NEGATIVE WAS THE PART TOOK 10 DAYS TO ARRIVE .

Just slide the old upper dishrack forward to the end. The stops on either slide must be removed . Only difficulty was getting the plastic stops to open up. We used a thin metal knivre to wedge into the opening.
