65715755791 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

Bought a house and with it can an old whirlpool dishwasher in where the soap dispenser lid would latch, as the latch itself was gone. Ordered the latch from part select and used the installation video to switch the latch out. Only problem I came across was that the torx screws at top of he door were free spinning. Ended up using a flat head for leverage to finally get the screws out. Everything works perfectly for once.

Popped the old wheel mounts off with a screwdriver & put the new ones on.I was so proud of myself.I'm over 60 & a woman.The only thing my husband had to do was turn the rack around because I had it in backwards.It was so easy & incredibly fast service. My dishwasher is over 10 years old & I thought I would never still find parts but there they were.I will always use these people & will recommend them to everyone.Thanks so much.Sharon.

Watched your video and replaced seal in approx. 5 minutes, probably less. Still leaked so I looked at your page for solutions, found out where the air vent was and pried it open, very disgusting mess. With screw driver and long tweezers dug out what I could then poured a mixture of bleach and water in the vent. Totally cleaned it, very white, vent cover went into a bucket of bleach and hot water and it cleaned very well. Put vent cover back on and did a load of dishes, works fine. Thank you for having such a great website, if I ever need help again I will be back. It's a shame someone didn't tell you about cleaning the air vent when you bought the dishwasher.

Removed and installed new door gasket which I found to be a simple task. Ran dishwasher and it still leaked. I then looked at other repairs submitted by your customers with the same problem. One had mentioned removing the lower spray arm and checking the screws around the pump. Sure enough, 2 screws were nearly ready to fall out and all others were loose. Tightened those, reinstalled spray arm, ran the dishwasher and no leaks. A big "Thanks" to you and also to other customers for sharing both their problem and how they were able to fix it. It sure saved me some money!!

Pulled out old gasket with needle nosed pliers, cleaned groove, installed new gasket just like the video provided on website. Took less than 10 minutes.

pulled out the old seal and put in the new, fixed the leak!

Watched the video and did the repair it was easy.

The hardest part was locating the leak. After consulting the other repair suggestions, I concluded that the gasket was a little more worn on one side than the other so I ordered the gasket. The evening before the gasket arrived (quick delivery from partselect.com) I decided to shim out the old gasket with some old door insulation. It made the door harder to close but it didn't leak any more. When the gasket arrived I replaced the old with the new. It leaked more than ever. After reading more repair instructions, I decided to take apart the door vent and check it. It was packed solid with gunk. After a good cleaning, I put everything back together. No leaks! I tried every repair listed except the door vent. Guess steam is a good gunk conduit LOL. I supposed I didn't really need the new door gasket but I can tell the door has a tighter seal now. Here's a tip to watch for. If the door doesn't leak right away after the washer starts, take the door apart and look at the vent. It can look just fine from the outside and that's deceiving. Someone else mentioned the 'leak' timing that finally got my attention and lead to the 'fix.'

easy to remove the old gasket but did not solve the problem door leaks from the bottom and water remains on bottom of machine

Opened the door removed old seal and put the new one in. The only hard part was getting the new seal out of the package. It took about 1 minute to do. Very easy.

I just followed the video, and it now works perfectly! Thanks SOOO much! great site, great info.

Shut off water supplyand removed front cover below door. Remove flexable water line (wrench set), valve and bracket (nutdriver), and input hose (pliers). Installed flexable line on valve, replaced input hose on valve, then installed valve and bracket. Found screen on input to valve almost completely blocked with buildup of materail. Replaced front cover. result, bright, clean dished.

screw it in then hook up the hose.
