K0228 Diverter Seals

Dishmaster provided great quick service with quality products as always. When you can catch one of their sales ,it is even better!

Had a pretty significant leak due to our extremely hard water and this simple fix stopped it immediately. We Love Dishmaster. We have had one in our house since 1954, the original installation and a few years ago we upgraded to the Imperial four in Black. I love it! Is so mid century modern and beatuiful.

I replaced the 2 tiny black rubber custom orings and it stopped sticking open when off.🤞

The set of seals was easy to replace and solved the issue of very stiff spout movement. I am happy with it
I do have one additional issue that has come up since, I suspect I did something wrong during my repair. The diverter does not always disengage when I turn off the water now and occasionally it does not easily engage when I pull it up and may take 3 or 4 tries. I think I must have gotten grease somewhere it is not supposed to be or I missed something. But that is not the fault of the repair kit.

Thank to everyone everything is awesome as usual I have had a Dishmaster in my house sense I was a child I'm now 64 so what does thst tell you about Dishmaster and it's still working just needs parts at times no problem with that one thing what happened to the candy you get with your shipment ??

I was disappointed, because I changed the seals in our Dishmaster 2000 and I still have the problem where the diverter does not go back down after shutting off the water. Do you have any suggestions on how to remedy this problem?

I have had my Faucet for many years. I have rebuilt it, repaired it, and updated it. It looks good in my old kitchen. The customer service is great and shipping is quick. Granted, repair parts seem to be expensive but that is to be expected as I'm sure they're not manufacturing tens of thousands at a time. I'm fine with that.

I purchased the 4" taller spout. I wish I had done that years ago. It makes things so much easier when cleaning or filling stock pots. I would like to say it was just this year that I got it but time flies and I think it was last year. I'm not going to take the time to look right now.

Anyway, the diverter was not dropping when the water was turned off. I took it apart to clean. Sometimes this needs to be done just from interaction with the water. I have soft water on the hot side but regular water on the cold.

Upon removal of the diverter, I noticed that one of the small seals at the top was slightly deformed, causing the rod to bind. I suspect that the part was misformed at production rather than improper installation as it isn't too difficult to put the seals in place. I opted to reverse the installation and use some plumbing lubricant. It worked briefly but is not dropping again.

What I'm not happy about is what I have to purchase to repair this. To get the piece at the top of the spring on the rod, I have to buy the diverter assembly which includes the o-ring for the spout to body. It does not include the two seals at the top of the diverter. To get the two seals at the top I have to purchase them with the 0-ring and the lower seal that also come with the diverter assembly. Changing the diverter without replacing those seals at the same time is ludicrous. So, in essence, I have to spend $53 plus tax and shipping to replace a faulty seal. By purchasing both kits with the redundant parts, it allows me to do the job properly so I don't have to do it again. In this case it is a extra $36.40 to get the part at the top of the diverter rod. Also, I will have good duplicate parts, new and used, left over. I will probably never need them. The whole spout is barely $40 more. Why doesn't that part come with the seal kit?

Parts were delivered as quoted.
All is good

The new seals did the job of fixing a leaky diverter and a sticky diverter issue. Cost effective fix. Highly recommend changing seals when the diverter leaks and sticks in the on position.

Great customer service and incredibly reliable faucet that hasn’t had to have any repairs until 12 years! Only needed some fresh washers. Very well made faucet!

Has improved function

When I use the diverter for washing dishes, etc., the long faucet spout still drips. The reason I bought the replacement washer kit was to correct that leak. At first, it stopped the leak but within a day the problem reoccurred. Does the entire diverter assembly need to be replaced?

Had the new seals that came with the unit, but they leaked, so I ordered more. It still leaks. I'm $900 in on plumbing bills to fix the leaks so far. Love the unit, but cannot get it to stop leaking around the O rings.

This product worked great to repair our Dishmaster2000. We love Dishmaster because everything is replaceable. You don’t have to replace the entire faucet just for one little part. Also great instructions.

Thank you Dishmaster

20 year old Solaric works like new and no longer leaking. Thank you Dishmaster.

Received the right product at a good price. Didn't have to turn off the water for our Model 2000, now the leak has stopped and the faucet swivels good as new...even though it's 15 years old.

The part fit and stopped the leak. For those not familiar with faucets it would be helpful if the instructions told HOW to remove the old parts.

My diverter was sticking in the up position. Replacing these seals restored the faucet back to normal operation. Be sure to use silicone lubricant when assembling this product.

I always use OEM parts on whatever I work on and this was no exception. Of course they looked exact and worked perfectly!

Excellent Product. Great service.

Was able to quickly restore my faucet to new condition with this kit. Just a note, if you have less than normal flow from the faucet, debris can be caught in the inner ports. Requires unscrewing a brass piece at the bottom and flushing.

It now works like it is supposed to.

The OEM parts work the best!

Always have EVERYTHING you need if you own a Dishmaster faucet! Never a backorder and promptly shipped! THANKS GUYS!!!

Fixed my problem.

For over a year we had a problem with the our diverter knob sticking in the up position. In other words, after we pulled the diverter knob up in order to have water come out the wand, after turning the water off, the diverter knob would not drop. This problem continued even after removing the diverter assembly and lubricating it with plumber's grease several times. After installing new diverter seals the problem has been solved. We've been using the new seals now for about 3 weeks and it has dropped every time after turning off the water.

Rodger is the best it is very nice to have a company want to make you happy instead of hassle you Dishmaster is the Best
