DU840SWKQ0 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

Getting the dishwasher out was easy. Getting to the impeller was easy. Getting the impeller off of the motor shaft was the difficult part. I had to use my Dremel tool with lots of cutoff wheels to cut the impeller off of the motor shaft a little piece at a time. It appeared to be rust on the motor shaft that was causing the impeller to not come off. There is not much room for the Dremel so be careful not to nick the pump housing or cut into the motor shaft. Keep the vacuum close by to clean out the plastic impeller shavings. Clean the rust off the shaft with steel wool, fine sandpaper etc. Assembly was easy once everything was cleaned up.

I searched for the 18x5x5 insulation.,ordered it from Part Select. Waited. Company sent wrong part. Called, they gave me a refund, reordered, promised 2 day free shipping. Waited more than a week, paid for 2 day shipping. Received same, wrong part. Still don't have repair done. Looking elsewhere for part.

Both springs (8066018 and 3368999) were replaced as recommended in your troubleshooting guide, but did not resolve the problem. Finally the Dual Motor, 3374501, was replaced. During the above, the plastic face of the door fell off, which created a nuisance task before proceeding to fix the original problem. However, while replacing the motor, I realized the purpose of the two, T-shaped studs sticking out of the motor. It is absolutely necessary that these sit inside the slots which engages the sliding plastic cover, which is spring loaded, in order to engage the release of the soap dispenser door. It was truly a learning experience, but I got it done.

Only thing worth saying is that it was a perfect type and fit. Simply lifted the old one out and set the new one in place.
I was pleasantly surprised that it was identical to the old one.

had to replace the insides of a leaky pump

New one snapped right into place.

I looked online to see a video. Dad to pop lid off soap dispenser. Slide a plastic part to the left n the spring slide off. Video showed how to place prongs on spring . Then had to lift the upper part of spring to lift onto plastic part of soap dispenser. That was it.

Unfortunately it still doesn't work. I asked Ina email to your company for any suggestions, No reply.

No tools required except possibly a small screwdriver to help remove stop in end of rack; part easily installed by hand and stop re-inserted. Finished in several minutes. Thanks!

Reassembled lower access covers using the new screws purchased from parts direct, perfect fit replacement. Hardest part remembering how they fit Dishwasher.

Crazy Glued it together until we received the new part, but it fell off again. My husband installed the new piece and said it only took him about 2 minutes. You just take off the end cap and pop in the new piece and adjust to match the one on the other side of the rack. He said it was extremely easy and no tools required.

I just snapped the old one off and snapped the new one on..

Ordered part, recieved part package, opened package, inserted screw cap rinse aid tank cover, twisted to close. Job completed. Time required about 15 seconds from opening package. Service was excellent and accurate. Thank you.

After cleaning the filter located on top left of door(used a screw driver to pry out) and following the install gasket video problem solved.

I USED A PLUMBER

As described with instructions, removed original "bearing," installed replacement, removed original spring, installed replacement springs. Not difficult.
