DU8900XT6 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

the plastic pin that retains the spring has a head on one end that hits a plastic stop on the door to keep it from coming out. I used a small grinder and made a flat spot on the head diameter to make it easy to slide out. This is easier than trying to pry the door off the pin at the two retaing snaps. I was conderned these pin retainer clips were brittle and would break off.
Once the pin is slid out, it is a matter to hold the new spring holes in line with the pin. rotate pin so flat side you ground is turned up, so pin will not move out that way. Tiij about an hour

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

The rack came with pictorial instructions which were fairly veg, however they were to the point. The wheels snapped into place easily, and the center water transfer tube twisted off the old one and twisted on the new one just fine. It is a very good idea to keep the old one out to look at as a guide. There were no instructions on how to remove the transfer tube, I was lucky to have already worked on these before. After that it fits and works just peachy.

Snapped in new part

I ordered a new rack, snapped the stuff together, and slid the old one out and the new one in. Fit beautifully. Piece of cake and much cheaper than a new dishwasher.

I just installed the new part. There were no tools required. I bought an extra part
I ordered the part on Monday, and it arrivefor the other side in case it breaks.

I took the pin and i slide it through the first hole attached the spring then sldie it through the second hole and snap the cover on

Remove completely the old one and installed the new entire kit.

You slide the pin that holds the door in the first hole. then you slide the spring in next. The you slide the pin through the last hole. After that you gently push the door onto the pin till it snaps into place. And your done.

The repair was simplicity itself. Remover the sprayer arm, removed the torx screws, replaced the seal, and reversed the process of disassembly. When I found out where the dishwasher was leaking from, I called KitchedAid and was ready to replace the overflow float. The part was 42.00 and wouldn't have fixed the problem. When I found this web site and read other peoples experience, I checked the pump seal, and it was obvious that it had blown out. That saved me a Loy of time and money.

Removed cover and broken spring ,installed new spring and cover.Did it all in less than 10 minutes
