Thank you for the informative video. I thought the dishwasher pan failed, but was the inverter motor grommet. It cost me $7 instead of $700 for a new dishwasher.
Wow,
Great job😊
This video and another video of yours saved my dishwasher, twice. The repair guy asked me about 400 for fixing it, my husband said we can buy another one when we have money but I don't want to wash dishes between now and then since everyday I spend almost an hour washing dishes so I decided to fix myself. It's my first time try to fix the DW but because of your great video I was able to fix the leaking problem. I could not get the old gasket off no matter how hard I tried so I just put the new one on top of it and I was able to put the part back and it worked!!! A week later the DW has no water coming in and I did the research, this time I fixed the problem again through your video and I cannot tell you how much I appreciate your help.
That is so cool,
Thanks so much for your feedback and I’m very proud of you being able to fix it yourself
I had a leak for six months but it want enough to investigate until recently. I found your video, ordered from Amazon and just completed the repair. No more leaks! Thank you for providing excellent directions!
One note, I did not need to remove the upper spray assembly and was still able to complete access to the grommet.
My model is a KDFE104HPS0. This was exactly my issue. Bought the grommet at Amazon. Also bought hook tool at Home Depot. You definitely need the hook tool. I am really glad I followed your instructions completely. It took about 10 minutes and cost (grommet and hook tool set) $17. A service call which I scheduled was $135 excluding any parts. This is a winner! Thanks so much!!!
Wow,
That is awesome David😊😊😊
Another grateful viewer here! Between yours and Nutty Cool's video, we were able to fix this problem for around $20, including getting the right tool. We thought we were going to have to replace our six-year-old dishwasher. Luckily we found the leak early and our hard wood floor only sustained minimal damage.
Nicely done😊😊😊
Your video saved me the cost and inconvenience or a service call. Thank you!
Thanks Steve,
You’re welcome 😊
Yes! I fixed my dishwasher by following this video!! The comments were very helpful. My old seal was stuck too and carefully separating it from its seat with a blade and then using needles nose pliers to remove it worked. No more leak! Thank you!
Nice job Elizabeth 😊
You just saved me hundreds of dollars. Thank you.
Thank you for a great video! Fixed my problem. A couple of thoughts/ideas. On another site, I they recommended using silcone grease, supposed
to make the washer last longer. Also, I live in a neighborhood where lots of these dishwashers are installed. Our next door neighbor had this leak but did not notice it until it damaged their floor. They had to replace entire first floor of their home since could not find matching wood any more - this leak cost them tens of thouhsands! As a result, I installed a water sensor under ours, and it detected the leak almost immediately. No damage for us. I highly recommend installing a water sensor before you have this problem, ours saved us!
Great ideas,
Thanks for the info.
This was exactly my issue. Thank you this saved me a lot of money

Great video, thanks so much. Changed the gommet, added teflon around the white plastic and no more leak after 1 year of washing dishes by hand 😂❤👌
Great job Carla❤️😊👍
I'm yet another grateful "customer." Luckily, my dishwasher is exactly the same inside as yours in the video. Every step and all the advice worked exactly as you laid out. I ordered the same little grommet as you did and it fit perfectly. I took the advice of an earlier comment here about using a little rinse aid on the grommet as a lubricant and it popped right in place. Because all the parts involved are plastic, I was hesitant to pull or twist them too hard at first, especially as my dishwasher is now 6 years old and has had constant use. I was afraid that the plastic had become brittle from the water and heat over time. But I followed your instructions on using a flat-head screwdriver to gently push open the clamps. Thanks so much for helping me save hundreds of dollars in repairs.
I love it, thanks so Much for the update😊
Thank you!
You're welcome!
I have a Kitchen-aid DKTM354DSS1. I tried replacing the door gaskets in vain. Then, I found your video and it looked exactly like my problem. Your fix was spot on! I bought the parts from Amazon (using the number on your video). Just want to say THANK YOU. You probably saved me $100's from calling a plumber. I spent
I’m very proud of you Alexander😊😊😊
Super video! I applauded for $5.00 👏👏
Thanks so much😊
Another satisfied customer here. Nice video
Excellent , thank you
Perfect. I had Sears tech come to house for $145 only to tell me I had to buy an entire new pump for $600 b/c they weren't allowed to replace the washer. The tech said they weren't even able to order "just the washer". What? So I did exactly what this video recommended. Bought the washer for 10 bucks off Amazon as well as a hook tool set for 7 bucks. Took me a little fiddling around to take everything apart but was super simple once I got everything apart. Replaced the washer, snapped everything back into place and ran the washer and ZERO LEAKAGE. Thank you for taking the time to film this repair. 17 dollars never better spent!
That is very impressive 😊😊😊😊
Scott, Thanks for the instruction regarding the grommet. My dishwasher isn't 3 years old yet and started leaking gradually over the last 2 months. Now it's happening once a week or so .
That’s pretty early. Time for a new grommet.
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel It's just myself, once a week.. I did notice the lower right L would move and that would be a cause of the leak on that side. I ran my finger along the bottom the door and it was wet. I don't want to call a technician yet. It's only happen during that previous mentioned time frame. Thanks for getting back to me Scott.
you probably just saved me a $500 service call, thank you!!
Super video! I applauded for $10.00 👏👏👏
Thanks so much Arthur😊😊😊
Thank so much for this video. I was able to fix my dishwasher myself. Thanks again👍
Nice job Rose😊
Thanks.
Like the previous comment the grommet/washer came apart during extraction.
The seal has a tiny spring shape into a hoop embedded in the neoprene(?). There is also a thin metal strip around the perimeter covered by the neoprene. If after washer extraction you see metal lining the recess you’ve nor extracted the entire seal. The new one will not slide into place. All that should be visible is the uniform plastic surface of the rest of the housing. It took some work to get a grip on the metal to pull it out. What finally worked was a very small blade inserted between the metal and the housing wall. I was then able to grasp with some fine needle nose pliers and remove. Cleaned out the recess and the rest was as advertised.
Thanks for the video! Helped a lot. One bit of suggestion... I had to coat the seal with some silicone grease in order to stop the leak completely... without the grease, there were still some small drops and dripping coming through.
Good idea Sam👍
Super helpful video. Just like you I needed to remove the conduit to the upper sprayer in order to access the bad grommet. But unlike your case when I pulled in the old grommet, it piecemealed into a bunch of fragments. After a lot of digging around finally got all the fragments out and installed the new grommet. I did reuse the circular metal spring in the new grommet. I notice that you did not
thank you! got it done watching your video!!
Nice job Rachel😊
Thanks for sharing your video make are job easier because I was about to pull the dishwasher out. Thanks again
Nice job Hector
Excellent video. Wander why didn’t you just remove the upper drawer/tray to ease the access to the diverter?
Thanks
That’s a good idea👍
Awesome video ! very well done, great job of explaining step by step thank you.
Thanks so much😊
I thought I'd try the cheapest and easiest fix first and a new grommet fixed the leak. I bought a replacement grommet from eBay and was kind of surprised that it wasn't softer then the one I replaced. It's a hard rubber and not soft and pliable. The grommet might be as old as the dishwasher, but it stopped the leak for now. One issue I had was that I removed both racks to allow more working room. When I tested it for the first time I didn't replace the racks and water gushed out at the lower edge of the front door. Put top rack in and it didn't leak. I don't know why this is this way, all I know is that it's true. I noticed you left the racks in place and worked around them. I should have taken the hint. Thanks again.
Nice job Jim😊👍
Pretty good video. It gave me the tips I needed to complete this simple but needed fix. Keep up the good work, I'll be looking for your vids if any of my other appliances die.
Thanks Paul👍
Great help. The seal is $10 and the part is no longer available from the parts supplier. Two points. One, the old grommet was disintegrating so I removed it in pieces. Two, the new grommet is slightly larger making the cover seal tighter. Initially there was a clicking noise until diverter seated properly. Thanks again.
Great, thank you
Loved your video and did As explained and replaced the grommet but it is still leaking ... any suggestions?
Thanks so much Russ, can you try the same procedure but try with a new seal but install it upside down as compared to last seal👍
thank you so much for the helpful video
You’re welcome 😊
Thank you for asking. I apologize for not letting you know the final outcome. I called in a well-recommended handyman. The new gasket around the door was put in backwords. He turned it around, encouraged me to use the dishwasher a few times during the week. It never leaked again!
Excellent News👍😊
I enjoy your videos sir!
Thanks so much👍😊
Thanks much
You’re welcome👍
How do you loosen the clips in the back? I cannot see in the video as the camera points away.
Hi Scott, very awesome video!
I have a question and was wondering if you are able to answer. I noticed the seal you ordered from Amazon didn’t seem to have the inner spring like the original seal had. I saw it on your kitchen counter top. Now did you install the original spring back or if it necessary to even have the spring?
Thank you
Can you send that same question to my email at: scottthefixitguy@yahoo.com
Wondering the same thing, as I replaced both my seal and diverter motor and still have a leak. I lost my spring so was wondering if it was necessary as well?
I did this repair today.
First things first, I tried prying out the grommet using a screw driver...it didn't budge. Went and got the pick tool and it worked like a charm.
Second, when I pried out the grommet with the pick tool, the grommet jumped out and fell into the hole at the bottom. I tried fishing it out with the pry tool and then with my finger but it kept getting away from me. This led me to curse, yell and get really upset. I took some time off and realized that the hole it fell into shoots water out to feed the sprayer arms etc. With the sprayer arm and white rotating disk thing off, I turned the machine on until the pump started, opened the dishwasher door and, as expected, the lost grommet had shot out and was resting on one of the heat coils. If you lose the grommet down the hole, do the same thing and don't get upset thinking you'll have the take the machine out to fish it out.
Good ifea😂👍
Hi. I replaced the grommet as you showed and my leak was fixed. However, since then I hear clicks when the dishwasher runs and it doesn't clean dishes very well. I am wondering if the grommet is too tight (or too deeply seated) and preventing the diverter from spinning the way it should? Should I have greased the grommet and shaft, or maybe used something like WD-40? Excellent video BTW.
Thanks, this really helpful. When i was removing the grommet a tiny circular spring popped out of somewhere. Do you know where that goes? I noticed it on the counter top in your video, but you didn't mention it.
It is part of the grommet.
You replied that the spring is part of the grommet, does that mean it is something I should put back into the new grommet or are you saying it is a piece included inside of the new grommet?
Wow, that worked 🤣. I was about to just buy a new dishwasher
Thanks so much Mike😊👍
Hi Scott. Amina again. I found a youtube showing me how to remove the lower spray arm. The housing under this is a bit different from that in your video. I'll keep working at it. 74 and still going . . .
Nice job Amina, did that work?
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel Hi Scott. Saw that the leak was coming from the right and left sides of the door rather than underneath. Replaced the door/seal gasket and the plastic gasket for the bottom of the door. A friend made sure the dishwasher was level. Checked the screws on the door to make sure they are tight. Still leaking right and left. I'm flummoxed! Not sure what to do next.
It might be over filling.
How high does the water get when it fills?
@@scottflint7297 Hi Scott. The water seems to be collecting in the back of the dishwasher. The machine seems level and the water still leaks from the front.
I think you have a leaky fill valve. It’s letting too much water come in and that’s why it leaks past the seal.
Pretty easy to replace. They cost about 30.00.
So I replaced my diverter seal and the leak to my dishwasher is now worse. Could it be the diverter motor itself that is faulty?
Yikes,
Might be good to do it again with a new seal.
Worked as shown and fixed the leak. However, dropped the socket and it disappeared down into the diverter. Cannot feel it anymore. What issues is this going to cause? How can I get out if needed? Thanks…
I wonder if you can remove the diverter motor from underneath the dishwasher to get it out?
Hey Scott! How do I know if this particular seal is what's causing my leak? Sorry if you said that and I missed it...
It’s highly likely✨
where to purchase the seal from and thanks for good video.
As soon as I hook it up to faucet and turn on water it runs out,I dont have it turned on yet just door is closed and locked,just started that after our hard freeze,
Q: There was an "O RING" on top of the grommet. See it setting on top of your countertop. Should it be placed on top of the grommet?
You should just put in the new grommet 👍
Hi Scott. I'm having difficulty removing the lower spray arm from the dishwasher. Pulling up doesn't seem to release it. Its model number KUDC10FXSS5. I called Kitchen Aid and they won't give out that information. Many thanks!
What did you end up doing?
saved me a massive repair bill
Excellent, thanks David😊
Do you think it’s coming from the edges of the door?
It seems as though you did not install the metal ring that goes inside the grommet?
Hi Michael,
That metal ring is part of the old seal and should be removed.
The new seal comes with its own metal ring to help expand the seal outwardly.
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel My old metal ring won’t come out.Where can I buy that hook that you used to take old grommet out.Thanks
At 3:31 there's a metal circular spring next to the new grommet. Where does that go?
That’s from the old seal.
You need to pull that out before installing the new one.
That is what I've done, I replaced the rubber seal, but it is still leaking. And it only stopped after I replaced the deverter motor as well.
Very good,
Thanks Anton
Thanks for letting me know. I might have to do the same
Mine seems to be leaking above where the grommet seats. So, its not the grommet. Water is getting in between the top of the metal rod (that spins) and the stationary plastic rod that contains the metal. Hence, replacement of the entire diverter. I guess it wears out in there. I do have a question as to where to buy the metal clip that sits in the grommet?
Mines leaking when the dishwasher is off. 🤔
Hi John,
You most likely have a fill valve that is not fully closing when the machine is off allowing some water to leak through.
I would replace the fill valve to cure the problem.
My KitchenAid dishwasher started leaking.... Appliance store repairman told me I needed a new $400 motor???
You can just replace the seal in the video for 10.00 and save 390.00👍
@@ScottTheFixItGuyChannel I did not understand how he could determine if I needed a whole motor assembly in less than 5 minutes
Yep, I bet the motor is fine. Just needs that new seal👍
@@FastFreeFixes Yes,but is that seal even available separately for the kitchen aid model KDTE204GPS0 ?
I heard the only way you could get a seal was to buy a aftermarket seal their quality was so-so
The aftermarket seal shown in the description is good👍
