DU4KV-CAN Magic Chef Dishwasher - Instructions

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.

Remove lower cover, 4 Phillips screws. Remove bracket with float switch, two hex head screws in the rear. After removal pull switch wires, two in plastic housings. Remove float switch, one small Phillips head screw. Remove float switch lever, one Phillips head screw. Clean the bracket and lever. Replace the lever and lube with silicone. Replace the float switch, (new one) and replace wires. Reinstall install bracket with original hex head screws. Replace lower cover. Done.

The time to hook up the spring was a minute or two. I simply attached the linkage to the door and then attached the spring to the linkage.The extra time in the repair was re-attaching the cover.

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 .

Replaced cup lid spring first no luck then replaced detergent cup motor problem fixed complete part replacement took less then 30 min.

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.

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

Order the part from Parts Select...received the part the next day...very easy and affordable. Will definitely use Parts Select again.

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.

Thank you

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.

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.
