John K. August 01, 2015 for Model Number KUDIO1FLBL5 KitchenAId Dishwasher Top rack on dishwasher not cleaning properly. Took basically everything out of the dishwasher to clean. Removed chopper assembly and noticed the stem from the motor was broken. I may have broken when removing chopper. Can that stem be replaced without having to replace entire motor assembly? I sure hope so! Many thanks
1 Answer Hello John, You will need to order and replace the chopper assembly W10083957V. It was probably the cause of the problem to begin with since this is a common failure that causes the complaint you described. Read More...
Jas May 23, 2015 for Model Number Kitchenaid KUDP01ILBT0 My dishwasher was not cleaning the dishes in the top level. It seems like once I go in a clean the chopper, it works great for a month or so, then I have to go in and clean the chopper again. It collects a lot junk. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Jas, I would replace the chopper assembly W10083957V and start scraping the excess food from the dishes before loading. (Scrape but do not rinse). Read More...
David April 26, 2015 for Model Number DU1055XTSQ3 I have a DU1055XTSQ3 Quiet Partner I dishwasher that has worked well for several years. We began having problems with the dishes not getting clean so I took the food chopper out and it was mangled, like it had hit a screw or something. We ordered 8268383 to replace it and it installed smoothly but it seems to be too short to reach the impeller. The chopper does not turn. I can reach in and turn the impeller and there is some resistance, but the chopper turns freely. It will run fine for a couple of washers, but then the chopper becomes clogged again. Did I get the wrong part or what else could explain it? The shaft on the chopper is only about 5/8" up to the point the teeth of the impeller should be in but it looks like it needs to be at least 3/4" to get to them.
1 Answer David, The chopper assembly for this unit is part number W10083957V. You will want to make sure that the chopper is in the correct position and that the shaft of the pump is not damaged. Read More...
Larry B March 02, 2015 for Model Number GU2400XTPS6 What is making a loud howling noise, I checked chopper, drains well, supply is good. My guess is that the motor is getting ready to die.
1 Answer Hello Larry. Yes, it sounds like the motor is going bad and will need to be replaced on the unit. Read More...
Lorene R February 25, 2015 for Model Number DUB700XX-1 Dishes in upper rack not being cleaned. Husband trying to remove cover over the chopper assembly (the large cover below the sprayer arm), but it has a metal disk in the middle that won't come out, so can't get to the screws below it to take off the cover. he has removed all the outer screws on the cover and the one in the center of the metal disk, but the unit won't budge. This model's assembly seems to be different than any of the videos we've watched for cleaning the chopper assembly.

Stephen W February 20, 2015 for Model Number Kitchenaide I have an 11 year old Kitchenaide dishwasher using chopper part #8268383. Last year I replaced the part but it just clogged up again. The nylon teeth that engages the shaft on the motor appears to be worn out already. Is this typical?
1 Answer Stephen, It is not typical that the teeth but would most likely be caused by too much detergent and prerinsing the dishes. Read More...
Dave February 17, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore Ultra wash Quietguard deluxe Should the chopper turn while the machine is in 'drain' mode? My dishwasher won't drain and I'm wondering if its the circulation motor after cleaning everything. The drain impeller turns while machine is in drain mode but the chopper does not turn although it will turn freely by hand. I put a phone and flashlight inside the machine to record the blade while I engaged 'drain' and the chopper did not turn. I could see the impeller was turning by looking into the pump after removing drain hose.
1 Answer Dave, Yes the chopper assembly should be turning during the drain and if not then then chopper would need to be replaced. Read More...
Ian February 16, 2015 For some time the dishes on the top rack were not getting clean. Then one day the machine would not work. The bottom was full of water and would not drain. I did some investigation and found the chopper blade was broken. Of course I found various particles of food and glass. I even found a rusty screw which I believe belonged to a frying pan and not the machine itself. Anyhow, I replaced the chopper blade and cleaned everything out but the machine wont start. No lights, no power, nothing. I checked the breaker and it is fine. I am at a loss as to what to do next.

Marvin January 24, 2015 for Model Number kitchenaid/whirlpool How can I tell if my chopper assembly # AP3039186 needs to be changed? Thanks.
1 Answer Marvin, In most cases the white plastic that is on the chopper blade would most likely to have broken causing the blade not to work. If this is broken replace the chopper. Read More...
Harold W. January 06, 2015 for Model Number KitchenAid KUDS01DJSW0 I just cleaned the chopper filter to correct a cleaning quality issue. The assembly appears to be intact but the screen was clogged with fibrous food residue. However, it was mentioned in some of the answers that the shaft turning the chopper may be broken and it will require a motor replacement. Is there a way to determine if this shaft is broken?
1 Answer Hello Harold, If the chopper screen assembly is clogged, the blade cannot be intact. You will need to remove it and replace it with W10083957V. Read More...
