Colin May 20, 2013 for Model Number KUDS01FLSS6 Kitchenaid I have a KUDS01FLSS6 Kitchenaid and am trying to extract the water inlet valve, so that I can replace it. The wires are connected with individual plastic connectors to the inlet valve's metal connectors, and I'm having a whale of a time releasing them from the prongs...am I missing something - like a release button or a release wiht a screwdirver blade? These wires just won't come off the metal connectors!
1 Answer Colin, Use a pair of needle nose pliers in about just behind center of terminal and there should be a push clip or you may just have to use force to get it off. Read More...
Casey April 25, 2013 for Model Number GU1500XTLQ2 Water continue to run in the dishwasher. Is this due to the water fill /inlet valve?

Jim H March 01, 2013 for Model Number KUDI01FLSS1 Items on top rack only not coming out clean.Could this be a problem with fill valve ? What should I try before ordering a new inlet system for washer ?
1 Answer Jim, You will want to check the pump impeller to make sure that there is nothing that is clogged that would cause lower water pressure to the upper spray arm. You will also want to check to make sure that the upper spray arm is not clogged or cracked. Check to make sure that water is coming in just below the heating element. If not then water fill is not proper and you will want to replace valve. Read More...
Mark H. February 27, 2013 for Model Number KUDS01DLSS2 Tub is over-flowing. It doesn't seem to be the float switch because I noticed water was still pouring in from the inlet with the door open. Does this mean that the inlet valve is hanging up?
1 Answer Hello Mark. Yes, based on the information you provided, you will need to order and replace the valve on the unit. Read More...
Mick December 29, 2012 for Model Number GU2400XTPT0 Dishwasher has been operating OK until suddenly failing to fill with water. Machine starts and develops warmth and humidity inside suggesting that some hot water is entering though none is visible. Do I need the Valve, Water Inlet or the upper Valve-Inlet, or both?
1 Answer Hello Mick, Check to make sure nothing has gotten under the float making the control think it's full of water. As long as the water hasn't been turned off to the unit, and nothing is holding the float up, it's a safe bet that the water inlet valve WP8531669 has failed to open an is in need of replacement.

Mjf December 18, 2012 for Model Number GU22ooxtsb2 I just ordered a valve for my dishwasher,after i ordered i noticed the electrical connection was different, mine is a single push on clip and the one in the description was a double connection. The one I ordered was AP3178610, Did I order the wrong one?
1 Answer MJF, the water inlet valve AP3178610 is not suggested for your model. According to your model number the replacement valve is part number WPW10158389. Thanks! Read More...
Doug October 06, 2012 for Model Number Whirlpool Dishwasher GU1200 XTL B3 I just ordered a replacement part AP3178610, a water inlet valve. I am hoping to get some installation information. Thanks
1 Answer Hello Doug. Based on the model number, you will remove the toe panel and access the water valve. Unplug the wires going to the valve and turn off the water. Then, remove the water line from the valve and the hose goin to the tub. Remove the screw securing the valve and slide it out of the frame assembly. Install new valve WP8531669 in reverse order.

Karen October 06, 2012 for Model Number GU1500XTKQ0 If the water inlet valve is bad would that keep the impellers from going to wash the dishes? We are getting some water in the washer to start but then it is not getting thrown around to wash the dishes. Any other ideas would be appreciated! Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Karen, If the water inlet valve is bad and the unit isn't filling to a proper fill level, this would indeed cause the spray arms to be deprived of the water pressure necessary to spin them and perform a proper wash. The other two things that could cause the issue is a stopped up screen in the pump and motor assembly, or a pump impeller damaged or wrapped in a piece of debris that inadvertently made its' way into the unit.

Rick K. July 19, 2012 for Model Number WHIRLPOOL GU1500XTKSO Starting tonight the dishwasher will not drain. Murky water in the bottom. It is 10 years old and has always run flawlessly. My wife pointed out the water in the bottom of the washer. I hit the Cancel/Drain button and a "02" showed up on the display. The water didn't drain but I hear a faint humming. Do I need a valve or something? I doubt the drain hose is clogged as it is used once per week, sometimes twice. What do I check 1st, 2nd, 3rd. Thanks!
1 Answer Hello Rick. The first thing you will need to check is the drain hose on the unit and see if it is clogged. Then check in the sump assembly and make sure it is clear as well. If all is clear in the unit, you will need to order and replace the drain pump WP661658 on the unit. Read More...
