Ed February 15, 2024 for Model Number kudp01fl336 The white upper wash arm fell off. I have it, but the parts to fix it to the upper water outlet are missing, presumably gone down the drain
1 Answer Ed, there would be two connecting pins that are only available with the upper wash arm 8193504 that would be used to secure it to the water outlet. Read More...
Dana January 13, 2022 for Model Number KUDR01TJWH0 Kitchenaid older dishwasher. The upper spray arm fell off. Can we still use the dishwasher while waiting for the part/repair to be done? Thank-you
1 Answer Hello Dana, The dishwasher will not wash properly with the upper spray arm 8193504 missing. All of the water pressure would be lost from the missing part and the other spray arms will be non-effective. The water supply tube WPW10077863 should be replaced also. Read More...
Marc December 08, 2017 for Model Number KUDS01DJ Can’t figure out how to release upper rack. Just 2 end caps on end of tracks that look like they can be released with a small screw driver pushing in the tabs. Nothing like your video
1 Answer Mark, When you pull the track out there will be a slot on the side that you would push the clip with a flat blade screwdriver and then pull out on the rack stop. This should allow the upper rack to come out. Read More...
Mf August 20, 2017 Do you sell ONLY the retainer pins / clips? The current sprayer arm is in good shape and doesn't need replacing. Only the retaining pin is broken.
1 Answer MF, We would need to have the model number of the unit to be able to advise for sure but in most cases the pin only comes with the spray arm. Read More...
Joan E. May 22, 2017 for Model Number KitchenAid KUDM01TJBLO Hi. I found the upper spray arm and retainer pin (the longer plastic piece) resting in the upper dishwasher rack. Turns out that the smaller plastic piece (nut?) was still sitting in the feed tub. I reattached the spray arm, but it seems quite loose and wobbly. Also, when I reattached it, there was no audible snap between the pin and the nut. While nothing on the "nut" appears broken, it's possible that something snapped off. Do you think I need new attachments? Could you send a close-up photo of the nut? Thanks.
1 Answer Joan, Unfortunately we do not have a up close photo of the nut we can send. It does sound like you would need a new upper wash arm if it is not snapping into place. Read More...
Don February 20, 2017 for Model Number part# 8268298 Is this the kit with the plastic button to connect the arm
Tim D September 12, 2016 for Model Number KUDM01TJBL0 Regarding removal of the upper dish tray, the videos show a plastic clip that has a button on the front that you press in and the clip removes. In my specific unit, there is no button on the front for removal. There are two plastic clips that hold the tray from falling out when you pull it to empty dishes, but not the clip with a button as shown. There looks like a small area on the top of the rail where I could push down a small plastic retainer-looking thing with a very small screwdriver and then pull the plastic piece forward for removal. Is that the proper way to remove these retaining plastic pieces? I'd hate to break them.
1 Answer Tim, In the center of the rail on the inner part there is a little tab that would would have to release with a small screwdriver. Then you would slide the stop out. Read More...
Stan February 28, 2015 I'm not getting any water to the upper rack of my of my dishwasher. I took it apart and cleaned all the holes out in the upper sprayer but it still doesn't work. The bottom rack cleans and dries just fine, it's easy to disassemble should I start by replacing the upper spray arm?
1 Answer Stan, The upper spray arm isn't the likely issue, especially since you've checked and cleaned it. The next check needs to be at the water supply. First check and make sure the float and switch operate, raise and lower the float to make sure it moves freely and you can hear the switch "click". Then start the dishwasher on a regular wash cycle, allow the dishwasher to fill and wash for a few minutes (5 mins.) then unlatch the door and remove the lower rack. The water level in the bottom of the tub should be at most 1/4 inch below the element it should be closer or touching the element, if not there's not enough water in the dishwasher to properly distribute the water and produce enough pressure to operate the spray arms(s) and clean the dishes on all levels.

Joel October 06, 2013 I have a KitchenAid dishwasher with a broken upper arm sprayer 8268298. If I order the new upper arm, will all the parts needed for installation come with the part??
1 Answer Joel, Yes, the upper spray arm will have to push in nut to attach the spray arm. Read More...
Joel October 03, 2013 for Model Number KUDM01TJ I have a KitchenAid dishwasher Model Number KUDM01TJ. The upper spray arm, 8268298, has come off. What do I need to order to re-attach this arm. I do not have any of the associated rings or pins. How easy is this to re-attach? Are there any detailed instructions or videos that show the installation process?
1 Answer Hello Joel, The new spray arm 8193504 comes with the retainers to install it with. It installs from the inside of the machine so you won't have to pull it out or anything. You should look around in the bottom of the unit for the smalle retainers so they won't get into the impeller. Read More...
