DP840SWKX0 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

Disconnected hoses (2) from pump housing. Disconnected pump housing from motor (3 allen screws, not too acessible). Unscrew spray arm from pump housing (this is done by hand; no tools as the "nut" is about 3" diameter and made of plastic) Open up the pump casing and replace impeller and the bearings on each side. The thing that takes some time is to mop the water that comes off at almost each step. There is probably an intelligent way to drain everything first. I did not order the large seal (kind of a large rubber donut, larger than a donut) between the arm and the pump and I shoiuld have as it was difficult to keep the old one from not leaking: Since by hand you cannot tighten the large nut very hard and tools could damage or break it. Applying upward pressure on the pump while tightening did it. (The pump and motor are all mounted on flexible mounts, like the heavy hoses connecting to the pump housing, so that there are no vibration.)

I entered the make and model of the dishwasher into the parts store. The part was located and ordered. Received the part a few days later. Fast, efficient way to go!

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.

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

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

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.

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.

New one snapped right into place.

It took all of 30 minutes from beginning to end remove the old parts and replaced them and run a diagnostic test before I could wash dishes. The parts were exact and Parts Select has always provided the right parts, shipped fast and never disappointed me.

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.

This is a portable dishwasher.. so first I turned power off and connected water line. When I turned the water on I noticed the water would flow into the dishwasher. This is not suppose to happen. This told me it was the flow valve. I disconnected water line, turned power off and removed bottom plate, removed screw holding valve on, removed water hose and output hose and unplugged valve. Then installed new valve. Turned water on to test and water did not flow into unit until cycle started. So simple. Problem solved in 10 minutes.

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..
