KDTM704ESS3 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

Unplugged dishwasher and turned off water supply. Removed bottom panel. Put rag under valve and unscrewed water inlet. Used ratchet and socket to remove screw from valve. Disconnected wires. Disconnected outlet. Installed new valve opposite of disassembly. Turned water back on. Plugged in and checked for leaks. Test ran.

I watched the provided video and followed the very easy installation instructions. It was awesome.

I followed the video and even though my dishwasher was slightly different from the one shown, everything worked well. I was lucky that I had enough clearance to pull the dishwasher away from the countertop far enough to make the repair, without having to remove any dishwasher wiring below. I replaced both side tracks, even though only the left side was broken.

Same procedure as described elsewhere. Very good idea to replace both left and right tracks at the same time since the majority of the repair effort is to simply remove and replace the dishwasher unit from the cabinet.

Upper basket removed because I could not take half the retainers

I hired a dishwasher repairman!! Perfect.

It has brackets that slipped right into the box. The hardest part was reattach the entire box to the side of my dishwasher.
I do feel anyone could do this repair

Slid out dishwasher removed 2 screws put new slide in an tighten screws. Pushed back in rescrewed to counter and was done.

Turned off water supply to the unit. Removed plastic cover at bottom front. I only had to disconnect the copper water line to slide the unit about 1/3 of the way out. I then was able to reach the wires, disconnect them and use a stubby box/open end wrench (5/8? don't remember for sure) to remove the plastic nuts. I then opened the door, removed the bottom basket and slipped the element right out. Installation of new part was reverse.

I just looked at the matching piece on the other side of the rack and used it as a guide to install the new part.

I replaced the holder that connects the top dishwasher rack on the drawer slide. I took it apart carefully so I could remember how to assemble everything back. I did have trouble for a few minutes to get it clipped and I checked the opposite side. After I pondered it for a few moments and did a couple of trial runs at it, it magically slid into the slot, the other did, too, and it was good to go. So very, very pleased!

The 2 parts snap together .

It is easy to change out the part. It seems though the part does not freely spin like it should. Does not seem to be warped but does not free spin.
Maybe the new part does not match??

Was easy to do but would recommend getting the 4 bolts that hold both racks in. The ones on the left side had rusted and hard to remove and reuse

Took out the middle rack. Flipped it over to get a better angle
And popped it back on. Spun it to make sure it would spin. Put the rack back in. Works like a charm.
