Jim April 14, 2018 for Model Number KDTE334DSS1 Hello, My dishwasher is less than 3 years old and I found this valve leaking which caused damage to my cabinets and wood flooring. My water pressure is at where the city says it is normal. Is this something I need to change every 2 years to reduce a leak? On the water inlet valve, why is it made with a flip top instead of 1 piece, the small lock tabs and the lid still allow water to leak from here as well as the 2 square holes that allow for water to leak. It seems to be a possible flaw in the design of the part. The only reason I could see a flip top is for clearing a restriction but wouldn't there a restriction in the filter 1st. Just doesn't seem like the best design possible. And if you look into the top the cap before flipping it into the body, there are 2 open areas( part of the maze set up ) that actually can push the water to the 2 square air inlets causing a leak. Why not eliminate that maze or change how the maze is direct into the center instead of the air bleed holes. That would reduce the leak.
1 Answer Jim, This inlet assembly is not a normal component that would leak. If the part developed a leak then it would just need to be replaced. Read More...
Mary March 06, 2017 for Model Number DU1145XTPB3 Dishwasher is not getting water. Replaced the water inlet valve. Pressure good. Water supply to valve good. You can hear the valve open for about 5 seconds then it stops with no water getting into machine. Even put what I thought to be the bad valve back on it did the same thing. Any suggestions?
1 Answer Hello Mary. You will need to check and see if the float switch is good on the unit. If so, then you will need to order and replace the control board WP8564547 on the unit. Read More...
Wilbur January 12, 2017 for Model Number 665.13122K701 D.W. leaks on the left side. The fill selinoid valve is not leakinking, spray arms are OK and just replaced the door seal. Any suggestions? Leak is intermittent, during DWing cycles.
1 Answer Wilbur, Remove the lower rack and check the left side of the tub. Make sure there's nothing blocking the water inlet opening, check and make sure the water inlet nut is tight. Then partially remove the dishwasher and check the water inlet WPW10195536 and hose for cracks, water deposits or water marks running down the tub. Also check and tighten the rack wheel and mount assembly screws, they can loosen up with time and create a small leak. Read More...
Ak September 30, 2016 for Model Number wdt780saem1 My fill tube (black corrugated) has pinholes in it that are allowing water to leak down and rot floor only when filling tub (city water connection seems fine). The black tube w10878507 seems to need to go through this fill valve assembly before connecting the fill to the tub outlet, but I don't know how to take it off to remove the old hose and replace with a new one.
1 Answer AK, In order to replace the fill hose you will need to pull the unit out from installation. There will be a clamp on the valve end and on the fill supply end that you will use channel locks to release and then disconnect the hose and install the new one. Read More...
Robin March 16, 2016 for Model Number WDF530PAYB3 Water not emptying at end of cycle. Have to hit cancel button 3 or 4 times to force it to empty.
1 Answer Hello Robin. Check all the filters and the drain hose for clogs. If all is clear then you will need to order and replace the drain pump WPW10348269 on the unit. Read More...
Stephan May 30, 2015 for Model Number Kenmore Dishwasher 665.17372301 Hello, On the water inlet, part # 8531325, there are 2 square holes on each side of this part, on the thin sides, just below the cap. I'm not talking about these 2 little hole to clamp the cap. Why is there 2 holes there? The water gets out from there while in the water fill cycle. I wanted to replace it but the new part has these 2 square holes too. Is my water pressure too high? I don't know what to do to avoid the water drops.
1 Answer Stephan, The slots on the sides of the assembly are aeration openings, these allow air to mix with the water during the fill cycle. Yes, you will need to check the water pressure to the dishwasher. You'll need to check the inside of the inlet for deposits that may have accumulated on the inside of the housing. If all's OK, replace the water inlet valve WP8531669. Read More...
Eric March 30, 2015 for Model Number KUDP01FLBL2 I think my water inlet is leaking (p/n 8531325), the insulation around it is wet and the hoses all seem to be in good shape. Do I also need to order the gasket (number 4 on the drawing)? Where can I find that part number?
1 Answer Hello Eric, You will need to order part number WP8531323 for the model number you listed. Read More...
Dean January 11, 2015 for Model Number WDF310PAAS4 Dishwasher will not fill with water ,powers up. I'm not sure what to replace door lock, float, or water inlet valve?
1 Answer Hello Dean. You will need to check the float and float switch. If good and there is power to the water valve, but not filling with water, you will need to replace the valve on the unit. You can test this with a multi-meter TJMA-DMT3. Here is a link on how to use a multi-meter. http://forum.appliancepartspros.com/oven-repair-including-ranges-cooktops/4810-how-check-continuity-ohmmeter.html Read More...
Doug December 25, 2014 for Model Number DU1300XTVQ0 Our washer has been leaking and I pulled it out from the cabinet to see where the leak is at. While the machine was running, I notice small drops of water coming from the green pigtail connector that is attached to the water inlet valve. Can the valve be leaking that causing it to drip from that connector? Or would you suggest further diagnosis even though didnt see any other leaks.........Appreciate and thank you for a reply.......
1 Answer Doug, This would most likely be the water valve leaking that is causing the drip from the connector. You would want to replace the water valve part number WPW10195536. Read More...
Craig December 04, 2014 for Model Number 665.17602301 Water leaks out the top of the inlet valve (p/n 8531325) during the fill cycle. I can't see any cracks, etc., it just shoots out the small openings near the top of the valve around where the top hinge catch is. The washer was left outside during freezing weather but I can't see anything inside the valve when opening the top that would allow water to remain and be frozen.
1 Answer Craig, If the water is leaking from the top of the valve then the water valve would need to be replaced. There is a little water that would stay in the valve but the seals are what would be the issue. Read More...
