36314779100 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

Repaired by watching the video provided on my computer by this site . This video was a life saver and covered every detail. My thanks to this site !!!

The instructions provided are very good if I had done before. My concern was getting the gasket to sit properly at the bottom where you cannot see. I removed the inside of the door (7 screws) and this made it easier to assure gasket sat properly in the track. may have cost an extra 15 minutes but worth it. If I do again I will take door apart again, however I think this is fixed and should not need attention again.

Order the part through you guys and also ask to see if there could be something else wrong. I got an e-mail back the first buisiness day and you sent me the part that day also. I installed the coil and it's be running good ever since. Thanks for your speedy service and technical support.

Hired my neighbor, who is a plumber.

I used the pump/motor replacement kit. It was a very easy repair and the parts were a direct replacement with no modification necessary. I saved over $300.

Took screws out of door panel to get to the latch and replaced old latch with new one. Super easy

Took end caps off roller guides. Slid old out...slid new in...poped end caps back on...done. Too EASY!

First of all this site is awesome. So helpful in diagnosing and ordering the part. I highly recommend!

So, the solenoid was melted and needed to be replaced. If you're looking from the front of the dishwasher it's on the left side and it has 2 screws and a c ring. I couldn't get the c ring back on, but the piece stays on without it. Works fine now.

DISCONNECT POWER TO THE DW FIRST! First of all, I need to let you know that my DIY skills usually involve calling someone else to do the job! But I found a couple of good videos online that provided some basic information about the remove/replace steps for the timer. What they DIDN'T warn me about was that there is a spring-loaded lever located directly between the timer and the dw door. When I took the timer off, the lever and spring went flying! The lever that fell off is actually a part of the soap dispenser mechanism. It took me a while (45 minutes) to figure out how all of the pieces went back together. There is a small post on the door that one end of the spring attaches to. The other end of the spring attaches to the open end of the white lever - this lever goes between the timer and the door- kind of an important step to make sure you have these pieces when putting the unit back together! As you put the cover back on the dw door, make sure that the white lever and the black soap dispenser lever are connected (you will have to spin the black lever so that it will connect with the white lever). Just make sure to take your time and breathe! This was a little frustrating at first, but if you relax and try to visualize how the pieces fit together, you'll be running dishes again in no time! Good luck!

Removed screws and replaced the part. It couldn't of been earlier. Only problem this kit didn't include a toe kick and we are having a hard time finding it.

Removed the 4 screws on front inspection plate and had easy access to solenoid switch. Unplugged unit and switched out with repair kit. So easy a caveman could do it...

I connected one end of hose to the drain using a hose clamp and screwdriver then connected the other end to the dishwasher using anouther hose clamp and a screwdriver..

I removed 2 screws a wire plug connector and replaced the old part. The total repair including putting the cover plate back on only took about 15 minutes. Also I saved approximately $130.00 by doing this repair my self.

Simply opened the dishwasher door, removed the gasket insert located in the middle inside of the door and replaced with new. Also went ahead and replaced the seal on the inner edge of the inside dishwasher door. Found very simple instructions on Google on how to do make this repair. Very easy!

from the information previous customers had written.
it saved a lot of fustration and time
and best of all the dish washer does not leak.
