Cindy September 07, 2014 for Model Number kudi24se I've got much the same question as Sarah S. did, plus a second one about draining (actually our original problem). The gasket below the arm retainer on my dishwasher is paper thin and flexible. The part you're recommending looks way too thick, and based on yet another person's comment about that nylon bearing, I believe it will prevent the arm from moving if installed. Suggestions re: gasket below the retainer nut? (I don't know whether it was previously fixed in place on the underside of the nut or below it because someone else took the dw apart. Next time we photo document as we go.) And our first problem was actually that the dw hadn't fully drained. Having taken apart the lower wash arm assembly and looked at food screens and drains, we ran it again, and there's still a little water in the bottom, but not much. Apparently, some water is necessary to keep pump seal moist? We didn't get deep enough in to look at the check valve, but if we have further drainage problems, that will be the next thing we examine. Thank you so much, Cindy
1 Answer Cindy, The spray arm bearing will sit down inside the spray arm and will work for your unit. For the draining you will want to check the check ball to make sure that it is moving freely. Read More...
Jason P October 09, 2013 for Model Number Kenmore portable dishwasher I don't know what model it is but I know we bought it from Sears in Sept. of 2001. It is a portable dishwasher with the reversible front panel, Black or White. The lower spray arm asy. has a retaining wing nut. Are these pretty universal or unit specific. Any help would be great. If unit spec., where can I find the model #. Thanks, Jason P.
1 Answer Hello Jason. It is best to try to get the model number and make sure it is the correct part. Here is a link to help you. http://www.appliancepartspros.com/modelnumber_locator.aspx Read More...
Sarah S July 18, 2012 for Model Number KUDS25SHWHO I RECEIVED THE CORRECT (YEA) RETAINER NUT FOR THE WASHER ARM OF MY KITCHEN AID DISHWASHER FROM YOU. THERE IS A …GASGET -?polyurethane ring- just below the main brim of the nut, perhaps for leakage?. Do I need to replace it too? If so, how- where do I find it? The current one is remodeled (melted) with exquisite new form.
1 Answer Sarah, The Radial bearing ring WP9742946 serves two purposes, it acts as a seal, to keep the water in the spray arm and produce a higher rate of force on the water to clean the dishes, and it acts as a "smooth" surface for the sprat arm to turn or rotate on. If it's distorted, it needs to be repalced as well. Thanks Read More...
Annette B. April 25, 2011 The wing on the retainer nut is broken off from the threaded part. I need to get the threaded part out of the opening. How?
1 Answer Hello Annette. You will need to try to use needle nose pliers to hold the nut to unscrew it. You can also try cutting a slot in the top of the nut and using a flat blade screwdriver to unscrew it. Hope this helps. Read More...
