Dv September 04, 2020 for Model Number KitchenAid Superba I have ordered a replacement air inlet. I am wondering if the meantime I can silicone that area as the breaker keeps tripping during use. Just wondering what the air inlet purpose serves and whether or not using caulking temporarily would cause any damages.
1 Answer We cannot advise you on this matter as it would be outside the manufacturers specifications and it is unknown if it could harm you or the appliance. Read More...
Susan August 08, 2020 for Model Number KUDS01ILBL2 I'm trying to replace a damaged air inlet to stop leaking. Are there any tricks to remove the outer door? My model has styrofoam glued to the outer door. I got the outer door pulled away from the foam which is now still firmly attached to the inner door but there is a lip on the bottom of the outer door that wraps over the foam so when I pull up to be able to clear the grooves the door sets in the foam prevents it from moving up the inch needed to clear the grooves. I see other comments that say it takes force (which worked for pulling away from the foam) but haven't found how to address this problem. Thanks for your help.
1 Answer Susan, the top of the panel would need to be pulled forward while trying to lift it up so that the top can clear the facia, allowing the front panel to clear the mounting tabs at the bottom. Read More...
Rubbertoe July 02, 2020 for Model Number KUDI01ILBS2 My dish washer is leaking from the corners. I wonder if this could be an issue with the AP6012280 Air Inlet or AP6327300 Gasket. I noticed that the Gasket is slightly chewed at both ends of the gasket as the excess of the Gasket seems to be pushed down by the air inlet every time the door is closed. So my question is, which could be the likely issue? if the gasket has excess at each end, are the excess supposed to cut off or are they supposed to be pressed down by the air inlet? Thanks
1 Answer Rubbertoe, The gasket will have excess that is pushed down by the air inlet. For this issue look for a gasket on the bottom of the door and this would be the most likely cause for the leaking. The air inlet on this model will have the gasket on it and would be part number WP8268937. Read More...
Tom January 28, 2019 for Model Number Kuds01fkpao I have multiple drips from the bottom of the dishwasher door, no split or broken interior parts or drain issues. Is part number Wp8268937 the likely culprit?
1 Answer Tom, Yes the air inlet WP8268937 will be the most likely cause for this leaking issue. Read More...
Ray January 31, 2018 for Model Number KUDIO1TJBLO My dishwasher spills water out over the front of the bottom pan at the beginning of the cycle. I put a gopro in there to watch the cycle start. I observed that after the water has filled and the pump begins, it sucks the water down and then there is a surge, which is what is causing the water to spill over the front. I have replaced the door seal. I have checked the float and the water shut off valve and they are both working properly. I have checked the spray wands for cracks or clogged ports and found none. The dishwasher isn’t over filling and has the proper amount of water in it. This surge of water only happens at the initial startup and doesn’t happen any other time during the wash cycle. My thought is that the plastic air inlet (part number AP6012280) relaxes after the initial fill of warm water and makes a stronger seal and I are thinking about replacing this part. Has anyone else had this problem? Or any idea how to fix this problem?
1 Answer Ray, The water sucking down would be normal as the pump starts and will want to check to make sure that there are no initial obstructions in the pump assembly. If this checks ok then the air inlet may be causing the issue. Read More...
Tom December 11, 2017 for Model Number KUDS30IVBS4 I have model KUDS30IVBS4 and it has a leak from door. I think it is the lower door seal. I just watched a video Lower Door Seal WPW10497235. But your site says I should order part AP6014866 air inlet. Is the air inlet the same as the lower door seal? are these two different parts?....would part WPW10497235 work on my dishwasher? and if I need to order AP6014866 does it install the same as WPW10497235??? thanks!!!!
1 Answer Tom, Yes the air inlet will have the lower seal on it and would be the part needed to replace. Read More...
Brigitte November 19, 2017 for Model Number KUDS01DJSS0 My dishwasher has water pouring out from the front right side of the door. I've allready taken the whole dishwasher apart and cleaned it. There is a part that has a long crack in it and I'm assuming that is my problem. Just want to make sure I've found the right part on this web site. It is all along the bottom of the door and into the tub. I think it might be the air inlet...what do you think? Thanks!
1 Answer Brigitte, Yes the air inlet WP8268937 will be the part that you are wanting to replace on the unit for the leaking. Read More...
Fox Trot May 24, 2016 for Model Number KUDS01FL I have determined a leak from the door (not tubing/valves), but haven't yet determined where in or around the door. At times the water comes out of the bottom of the door with a little pressure/squirting. Some questions I read suggest it is the dispenser gasket. Would you agree and is this where you would start? Or, would you start with the standard door seal. Thank you!
1 Answer Fox trot, First remove and check the lower spray arm, hub and bearing. Make sure there aren't any cracks in the spray arm seams, or debris in the venturi holes, check to make sure the hub and bearing aren't worn excessively or damaged. Any of these possibilities would direct the water at the bottom of the door and cause it to leak. Then check and make sure the dishwasher is level and secured to the cabinet properly and all four feet are setting on the floor solidly. Then remove the door front panel and check the air vent WP8268937 to make sure it isn't cracked or damaged. Read More...
Carl November 05, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore 665.1648.2300 Water is pouring from the bottom right to middle of the door while in operation, What is odd is the water appears to be coming from the door itself. The door insulation is wet and when the door is returned to the closed position,water pours from the bottom of the door down the sheet metal face. The arms are metal, clear of clogs and no cracks. I just replaced the Air Vent at the bottom of the door hoping to correct the problem, but it did not. The seal for the door appear to be in good shape but it is the original. Any ideas why or should I just re-designate it to the category of future fish habitat.
1 Answer Carl, You will want to check the gasket around the dispenser assembly that could be leaking and causing this issue. It would be the most likely cause for the leaking. Read More...
Justin A. October 20, 2015 for Model Number 665.16053400 Is there a gasket that goes under the air inlet? part number AP3085279... I am still getting water seeping into the front panel of the door. It looks like the inner tub gasket part number AP3672571 only covers the sides and top and not the bottom near where the water is leaking past the new air inlet i just installed. Thanks, Justin
1 Answer Justin, No, there is not a gasket under the air inlet. If water is getting into the door panel you'll need to make sure the dishwasher is level in both directions, The dishwasher isn't over filling and then check the lower spray arm for debris and split seams, and the water tube and hub for excess wear, water can be redirected at the bottom of the door and leak along the door.
