John Whisler June 15, 2019 for Model Number KUDS24SE Want to double check before I buy that this dispenser (10616003) is the correct part for this 21-year old KitchenAid KUDS24SE. All indications are that it is, but don't want to make a mistake. Thanks!
1 Answer John Whisler, you are correct, part number WPW10616003 is the correct part for your model. Read More...
Barrynperkins October 21, 2018 for Model Number 9744335 WPW10616003 replaces: 8193920, 9742629, 9744335, W10616003 The old assembly has a door for detergent (dispensed during wash), an open container for detergent (for pre-wash), and separate rinse agent dispenser. I understand that the new assembly does not include a rinse aid sensor. However, it appears to have a compartment for detergent (during wash) and a compartment for rinse aid. In the original part, the instructions had detergent in the covered compartment (wash cycle), and if you wanted, put some in for pre-wash. It appears that the new part doesn't allow for detergent in the pre-wash, just detergent dispensed during the wash. Is this correct? If so, does the new assembly wash as well as the old, since there isn't the ability to put detergent into the pre-wash? Thank you. Barry
1 Answer Barry, Yes the new dispenser will not have the prewash section as it is not needed and the manufacturer has done away with it on the new assembly. Read More...

1 Answer Bob, The part number for the dispenser assembly on this unit will be WPW10616003. Read More...
Bud February 08, 2016 for Model Number KitchenAid KUDS25SHBL1 We need to replace the dispenser on our KitchenAid KUDS25SHBL1. From what I am reading online, the little window for the rinse aid level isn't easy to see. Do you know how many milliliters the new rinse aid compartment holds? Thanks.
1 Answer Bud, Unfortunately we do not have any information that will advise on how much the rinse aid dispenser will hold. Read More...
Ken September 13, 2015 for Model Number w10616003 Just replaced soap dispenser on dishwasher with the substitute part that everyone is selling. Two things. The door on the dispenser how hits the rack because when I open the dishwasher, I can tell it springs open against the door. Is there a fix to that? Also, the rinse aid is a door too and before it was a lidded hole. inside how do I use the dial/filler? there were no instructions at all on that. thanks!
1 Answer Hello Ken. There is no way of preventing it from hitting the rack. Some have bent the wire on the rack a little to clear it. The numbers on the rinse aid dial are for amount of dispensing. The higher the number, the more rinse aid. Read More...
Art W. August 04, 2015 for Model Number KitchenAide Diswasher KUDS525SHBT1 I ordered a new Soap Dispenser AP5780547 for this and it arrived with zero instructions. I got the door off and replaced the dispenser, but the old one had light blue/dark blue plus two Red wires. New has only solenoid connections, use the two blue? Is order important? In the process the door latch assembly came apart and I am struggling with how it goes back together. Is there a diagram somewhere?
1 Answer Hello Art, I believe you will need to only use the two brown wires since this new design uses a ratcheting device that will dispense the detergent one time and the rinse aid the next. If this is not correct, please post a new question with the verified model number from the units' I.D. tag since the one you provided does not come up as a valid model number. Read More...
John October 02, 2014 for Model Number W10616003 The rinse dispenser on the right side has a dial. I assume you just pout the rinse fluid over the dial and stop when you see the rinse when it gets to the top. However, the dial has numbers and the dial knob moves accordingly to point to those numbers. What is this dial for?
1 Answer John, On the rinse aid dispenser the dial is used in conjunction with the numbers for more or less rinse aid to be dispensed based on the number selected. Your owners manual will tell you more about the feature. Read More...
Dex February 07, 2014 for Model Number kenmore 66515972992 The new substitute dispenser (W10616003) does not have a slot for the rinse aid sensor (#9742852). Is the sensor no longer needed so that I can wrap it in electrical tape and disregard? Else if needed, where is it positioned in the new dispenser?
1 Answer Hello Dex! The manufacturer has eliminated using the electrical sensor. There is now a site window to monitor the level of the rinse aid. You can tape up the extra wiring. Thanks. Read More...
Gerald January 30, 2014 Just changed my soap dispenser with part #w10616003. Change over went fine but no instructions were sent on how to fill rinse aid dispenser. This dispenser looks totally different from old one. Thank you for the help.
1 Answer Hello Gerald. Open the dispenser door and pour the rinse aid onto the level indicator. It should turn the window blue to let you know when it is full. Read More...
Sam J November 21, 2013 I just installed the new designed soap dispenser into my kitchaid dishwasher Part # W10616003...the 2 additional wires that are for the rinse aid sensor I was told to just wrap them with electrical tape as they aren't needed. Also I'm not sure of where and how to add the rinse aid. There seems to be a dial inside one of the sides but hard to add the rinse aid there. Am I doing something wrong?
1 Answer Hello Sam. You remove the cap and pour onto the top of that dial to add the rinse aid. Read More...
