Dave December 25, 2019 for Model Number gu2275xtvy2 The whirlpool gold dish washer leaks from under the middle of the front door. Is there a bottom door seal that can be replaced? What other possible issues is causing the problem? Thanks
1 Answer Hello Dave, there is no lower door seal as it is not needed. If there is a leak under the door in the middle that indicates there is a pressurized steam of water from inside the dishwasher that is being directed at that spot, usually this indicates a cracked or worn part that carries water from the wash pump to the spray arms or feed tube. To check, pull out the lower rack and closely inspect the lower spray arm, its mounting and the connection to the rack-mounted spray arm water feed tube. Read More...
Richard June 09, 2018 for Model Number KUDP02CRBL0 The lower spray arm does not spin freely. When you spin it with the machine off, there’s a clank, clank, clank. When the machine is on the noise is very loud. What is the problem and what parts do I need.
1 Answer Richard, You will want to check to make sure that that hub is not damaged and make sure that the rear feed cap is in place properly. Read More...
Johnnyq April 20, 2016 for Model Number KUDW03CTSS3 I have a kitchenaid dishwasher. The Tech manual part number for the Lower Spray Arm Support/Hub as W10077898. This is a pricey item...$40-$50 I noticed that there is part listed as KITCHENAID KENMORE WHIRLPOOL Dishwasher Lower Spray Arm Hub part number 8268342 It cost around $10 Both parts look identical. Does anyone one know if they are in fact the same?
1 Answer Johnny, While we cannot be completely sure, these 2 parts do appear to be the same part. Read More...
Johnnyq April 20, 2016 for Model Number KUDW03CTSS3 KitchenAid Dishwasher upper spray arm not turning. I cleaned out the sump and screen and chopper assembly. I also cleaned and replaced the check valve sump assembly. I cleaned out the feed tube assembly. There are no blockages in the rear feed arm, valve assembly manifold or upper spray arm assembly. Since cleaning the sump...water pressure from lower spray arm seems great but the middle spray arm still wont spin. I am trying to determine if there may be an issue related to the "Valve Assembly Manifold" which contains two metal/steel balls. it appears to regulate water flow between the "Feed Tube Assembly" and the "Manifold Turbo Zone" The "Manifold Turbo Zone: is when the ProScrub feature is activated for cleaning pots. I cant seem to find any info on the operation of this unit. I was wondering if there is some type of electro magnet that controls the metal balls?
1 Answer Johnny, This issue would most likely be in the mainifold turbo assembly that is causing the issue. There is no magnet for this area but they could be getting stuck and not allow water flow. Read More...
Bob April 03, 2016 for Model Number KitchenAid Dishwasher KUDSO1FLBL3 I need to remove the lower spray arm (4 bladed). is the "hub" that appears to hold this arm in place threaded, or is it a 1/4 or 1/2 turn retainer design?
1 Answer Hello Bob, You will need to hold the center tab and turn the spray arm counterclockwise to remove this part on model KUDS01FLBL3. It will have to be turned about 1 1/2 turns for removal. As a note, do not over-tighten upon re-installation. Read More...

Jawgnat May 10, 2015 for Model Number DU1055XTVB8 I recently replaced the food chopper assembly. But now I am not sure that the lower spray hub arm is working properly or installed properly. My question: When I use a pliers to pull up on the top the lower spray hub arm, should I be able to pull it up a little ways? Because I can.
1 Answer Hello Jawgnat, The spray arm has to be loose to be able to spin. There will always be a bit of slack in the spray arm so it can move freely with the water pressure. If the spray arm is not spinning freely, there has to be a water pressure issue, usually caused by a bad chopper assembly, a separated spray arm, a lost grommet/gasket in the feed tube that feeds water pressure to the center spray arm. You should also make sure no holes are stopped up in the spray arms. Read More...
Melissa December 14, 2014 for Model Number GU2500XTPT0 I recently had some cleaning issues so I took everything apart and cleaned out the old gunked up detergent, etc that was under the lower spray arm and everything. When I put it back together, I can't seem to get the wash arm assembly to attach to the hub properly without the hub popping back up and having it be wobbly when I turn it. Is it ok that it wobbles a bit or do I need to replace part 8268342? Thank you!
1 Answer Melissa, The hub would not be able to wobble, It sounds like the internal rear feed cap may not be all the way down properly which would cause this issue. Double check to make sure that it is and it may be necessary to replace the hub. Read More...
