Eric March 01, 2021 for Model Number MDB8949SBM1 Recently the dishwasher stopped cleaning. There is water in the unit it just doesn’t clean. I have taken apart the unit and cleaned the filter, but noticed that the spray arm bearing broke and was in chewed up by the dishwasher. What does that part do, and would it be the cause of my problems or should I be looking elsewhere to fix it?
1 Answer Eric, Based on the information provided your wash arm needs to turn freely and the bearing helps it to do so. Also for washability issues you must have a good flow and spray action, you must have a good detergent and the water in the tub of the machine must be above 120°F. Lack of any of these will result in poor washability. Read More...
Jaso February 08, 2021 for Model Number KUDS35FXSS5 My dishwasher is not cleaning the second rack glasses etc. very well. I noticed that the middle sprayer arm binds on the supply manifold and so does not spin around. Additionally, the manifold hanger in the back is broken, and is no longer available. Is there a work around?
1 Answer Jaso, unfortunately, as the manufacturer has discontinued the middle spray arm bracket WPW10082832 and is no longer available, we would not be able to recommend an alternative. In regards to the spray arm binding, there may be debris around the spray arm seal WP8268433 that is causing the resistance, and disassembling the spray arm from the supply tube WPW10323424 would be necessary to identify the cause of the bind.

Carl December 15, 2019 for Model Number DU1145XTPBA QUIET PARTNER II Hello, I have a Whirlpool DU1145XTPBA QUIET PARTNER II that makes an awful lot of noise during what appears to be the wash cycle. When it fist starts sounds ok then gets loud and runs that way until it is finished. I tried stopping the washing cycle to see if problems during draining etc and the washer drains withouts any excessive noise. Would faulty washers or seals cause this problem? Thanks in advance for any advice you can provide.
Nat R May 20, 2017 for Model Number 66515912001 The dishes placed on the top rack on my dishwasher are no longer getting clean. Any suggestions on a troubleshooting procedure. The spray arm bearing is no longer serviceable. Will that cause this failure?
1 Answer Nat, You will want to check the pump assembly to make sure that there is nothing clogged in the pump and check to make sure that the impeller is not damaged. Also check to make sure that the water is filling just below the heating element when it fills. Read More...
John D January 02, 2017 for Model Number du1100xtp Hello, my lower spray arm is loose and wobbly , I'm thinking it's the bearing, please advise.
1 Answer John, The spray arm is held in by a lower spray arm hub WP8268342 and you will want to make sure that it is tight on the hub. Also make sure that the internal cap rear feed is locked into place properly. There will be some wobble to the spray arm. Read More...
Jerry October 23, 2016 After replacing the lower spray arm hub and bearing. the washer seemed to work, but water now stays in the bottonm of the dish washer. Its a Whirlpool Model # DU1055XTVS8 Quiet Partner II, what would it be, and how would I fix it. Thank you Jerry
1 Answer Hello Jerry. Check and make sure there is no clogs in the unit and the hoses are clear. If so, you will need to replace the drain pump on the unit. Read More...
Nancy February 28, 2015 for Model Number KUDS301XNHI Usually if I try to turn on the dishwasher it just won't go on, if it does happen to go on it runs for a few seconds then goes to drain. It never completes a cycle and never goes into the dry mode.
1 Answer Hello Nancy. Based on the information you provided, it sounds like the control panel is bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Paul February 11, 2014 for Model Number Kitchenaid The top rack of my dishwasher is height adjustable. The middle sprayer arm fits into one of two holes in the feed tube. The holes in the feed tube have rubber flaps that block the water from leaking out of the hole that is not engaged by the sprayer arm. The top rubber flaps has torn away and the top rack did not clean properly. I reversed the two gaskets so that the top hole is blocked and positioned the rack so that the bottom hole accepts the sprayer arm and now the top rack cleans properly. Do you sell these rubber parts separately, or do I have to buy the entire feed tube assembly?
