DU850SWPU2 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

Replacing the pin with the spring is a little tricky, it was hard to hold it. And the little plastic pin breaks real easy too, its hard to get the lid to snap in place without breaking the pin.

I needed to cut 1/4inch off the panel and unscrew the side piece which held it in place....
insert the new piece and put back the 3 screws. Done!

Just snap it in

Placed paddle switch in housing cover and snapped it in place onto housing

I grabbed the lower right end of the gasket with my Leatherman Tool pliers and pulled out the old gasket.
I installed the new gasket. No cleaning was necessary.
It took less than five minutes. It now works like new.
I ordered the part with standard delivery and it was here in just a couple of days. Very easy fix.

the plastic pin that retains the spring has a head on one end that hits a plastic stop on the door to keep it from coming out. I used a small grinder and made a flat spot on the head diameter to make it easy to slide out. This is easier than trying to pry the door off the pin at the two retaing snaps. I was conderned these pin retainer clips were brittle and would break off.
Once the pin is slid out, it is a matter to hold the new spring holes in line with the pin. rotate pin so flat side you ground is turned up, so pin will not move out that way. Tiij about an hour

The whole job took less than 5 minutes...no tools were needed The diagnosis was right on the money

Looked at how the other was installed oh and bought 2 for when the other one fails. Great customer service!!!!

Swapped out the old upper dish rack with a new one. A video made the change simple.

Unscrewed old access panel from dishwasher. Took out insulation and glued to new access panel. Took off bottom panel and placed on new front access panel. New panel fit perfectly on front of dishwasher. Hard part was getting the bottom panel to stay on new front access panel, but hammered it in place protecting the new access panel with Styrofoam cushion. Took about 45 minutes from start to finish. Used DW-40 around screw holes, because of age of dishwasher and rust setting up over years (22 years old).

Pulled out the old with needle nose pliers. Pushed in new door seal with fingers.

It was a very simple repair. I removed the old door seal out of the track and installed the new seal.

Got parts breakdown online, took pump assy apart, ordered new parts, replaced bad parts, put pump assy and dishwasher back together, piece of cake, no problems.

Snap the old lid off, remove the pin & spring & install new Pin & Spring. Very easy. Thanks To Parts Select got the right parts.

When the new part arrived I had to swap over the bottom metal plate that secures the bottom of the cover and also had to swap over the decorative front plate and top edge. The part worked wonderfully the job was very easy. The only thing I forgot to check on was the color of the part. I needed white and I ordered black, but that also was no big deal as the covers from the old part was white and covered it up. I will be using Partselect in the future and would recommend them to friends.
