DU850SWPQ2 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

Followed the helpful instructional video that is included in the installation instructions here on this site. Had to drill out impeller to remove it due to 20 yr. old dishwasher w/ signs of hard water attack on the motor drive shaft. New part installation was quick, once the old impeller was completely removed and internal housing was cleaned.

Before installing new parts, make sure to flush out & clean internal pump housing to remove any loose debris and/or signs of rust, and carefully clean motor shaft & seal seat surface.

Also found heavy limescale buildup and soap residue on pump seal grommet & seal surface on the upper lip of the pump housing. Grommet is discontinued, but it cleaned up well along w/ seal surfaces, after soaking in white vinegar and employing a light scrub along the circumference of the seal (Not radially or perpendicular to the seal surface).

The repair went well with the major problem being I replaced the drain hose without removing the dishwasher from it's position. Due to this I removed the drain end with out being able to see the hose and put it back on by feel. Over all I was back up and running with in 30 minutes and everything has worked very well so far.

WATCHED THE VIDEO FOR 2 MINUTES. REPLACED THE 3 PARTS IN LESS THAN A MINUTE. THANKS FOR THE VIDEOS.

I ordered a dishwasher soap dispenser "lid assembly". When it arrived, it was not an assembly at all but only a lid. I had to reorder a pin and spring, When i finally had every thing, it was an easy repair.

Pulled the old gasket out with needle nose pliers, cleaned the slot for the gasket, installed the new gasket, needed no tools. This repair took 5 min.

The old gasket around the door pulled out easily but was pretty nasty. While cleaning the channel out, kept finding more gunk that had built up. I decided to go ahead and take off the Inner Door. Used Torx driver to take off the screws. Found a tremendous amount of gunk built up. Was well worth taking the extra time to clean it all out. Replaced the Inner Door and put new gasket in channel. No more leaking!

Removed seal from door with flat head screwdriver, replaced with new seal. Actually took longer to get out of the box rather than to fix!

It just snapped in placed. Very easy.

It is a small plastic piece which serves as a stop on the right side of the upper rack. It is the correct part because it is identical to the left one of the same type. I tried clamping down with a pair of pliers but I am afraid of breaking it. With shipping this two inch piece of plastic cost $20, so I do not want to crack it. I am at a loss as to how to sit in in place.

Snap new track stop into place. Took a few minutes to figure out top/bottom and inside/outside, but no issues

Just click in, you can basically do it with your eyes closed

Recently bought a whirlpool dishwasher, the dishwasher was converted to a portable dishwasher and they did not use the cord application power cord so they machine was blowing our breaker, instructions were very simple and installation was easy!

Very easy to remove the broken one and just clip in the new one.

Followed instructions as the videos on this page show.
