K1078 Hot Water Valve Assembly

So smooth , like new!

Chris on the customer service team at Dishmaster went above and beyond in supporting my order. When my order was missing for a short time he sent another valve set. When the original order turned up I simply returned the second order. The valves are working as expected. I would definitely buy replacement parts for my mother's Dishmaster faucet again in the future.

Upon installation, the faucet stopped leaking. Yay! And maybe a week later it started again. Been slowly increasing ever since. Disappointed after spending a fair chunk of money and time. I am sentimentally attached to my dish master but my husband is trying to talk me into changing to a completely different setup. Booo….

the stems were excellent and easy to install. Great piece of work.

The recent valve stems we rcvd also leaked

When are you going to have the green brush back in stock?

We have had Dishmaster's for over fifty years. Don't know why it takes you so long to send it out a small piece like the valve. It did the job

Wish I had ordered parts sooner is all.

I had the pleasure of working with Chris from Dishmaster, and he was incredibly helpful in resolving a persistent leak I had been dealing with for some time. After walking me through a teardown of the unit, we discovered that remnants from an old grommet were preventing the new valve from forming a proper seal. Chris quickly identified the issue, helped me get the exact parts I needed, and clearly explained how to install everything properly. My only frustration is that I didn’t reach out to him sooner—his guidance made what had been a frustrating problem easy to fix.

Robert and Chris were terrific in helping me solve the problem I had with a leaking faucet assembly.

Service was excellent. Very satisfied

Parts are easy to replace with the included instructions to continue using the family’s preferred faucet.

The written instructions have too many options to be clear. I got a full stem assembly, but why? Was my model out dated? I could have gotten just the washer assembly? If I got the full stem I should only get those instructions. You should reference the YouTube video. It was simple and clear

Excellent service, quality parts, great delivery

The old one stopped leaking. Hey, that was an easy fix!

Worked perfectly.

Had a drip from my cold water. Called Dishmaster and Roger helped me get the parts I needed. Drip is gone!

The Wife and I took the time to install new seats and valves. Unfortunately the seats eventually wear, and no matter how tight you make the handle, it won't stop the leak. Our solution was to pull the unit, remove the seats, and refinish them by passing them over some 500 grit wet and dry atop an old piece of plate glass. This created a magical surface that the new stems love. Using the Dishmaster silicone lube on the threads made it so we can turn on or off the hot/cold faucets with two fingers on the base of the faucet handle! Amazing. Now, we have a dry sink every morning, and there is absolutely no drip, drip, drip.
I believe these faucets are the finest in America and will be purchasing new units in our next home.
These are serviceable and water tight.
Even a child can turn them on or off.

I starting using one of the Dishmaster units in the 1970's and was surprised at how quickly I could clean my dishes.
After living overseas for 10 years, I returned to America and longed for the top of the line kitchen appliances.
Dishmasters were available on Ebay used, so I picked one up and it did not disappoint.

However, now that we are financially stable, and have upgraded our used unit to factory specs I see what the manufacturer had in mind when these units shipped by the thousands in the 50's and 60's.

There are newer more common brands, but I don't see any advantage over the units sold by Dishmaster.

Again, if you are having issues with your rubber washers wearing out after a few months, it is probably the seats and not the seals.
If you replace or recondition your seals, then your sealing rubber washers will wear like iron!

That's my 2 cents.

Order shipped fast, worked like a charm. Cheers!

They work great ! Love my Dishmaster!

The new water valves still leek.
Help

Looking over my billing records, I noticed I had purchased replacement seals for the cold water side in April. That means it was leaking and a new seal set fixed the issue. Now, 6 months later, I changed the valve stem because you needed to crank down on the cold water side to stop the drip. Even purchased the recommended grease. Unfortunately, the cold water tap didn't have that Dishmaster effortless shut off that I'm accustomed to. So I pulled the unit and took a close look at the seat. After removing the seat and sanding it down carefully, the surface was defect-free again. I installed the seat, put the unit back on the kitchen sink, and sure enough, it works like brand new. People who have never used a Dishmaster unit don't understand why we love them! The answer is simple: they are one of the best kitchen devices a person can own.
Remember: your hot and cold water shut off valves should work effortlessly. If you are wearing down your valve stem threads, it may be a defect in the seat surface. Old seats can be sanded using 600 grit wet and dry on a flat surface, or you can buy replacements here on the manufacturer's website.
My Wife is very happy with how it works now, and I am confident that I can make the seats last a whole lot longer than before.
These units make for super quick cleaning of evening dishes immediately after dinner with no hour-long noise from a dishwasher.

Satisfied Dishmaster customer since the 1980's!

I replaced Dishmaster in the summer of 2022 and cold water was start to leak in January of 2023 by dropping water after completely closed. I thought cold water valve was causing that so I bought it and replaced it but it didn't do any good.

That means I have to replace the whole Dishmaster again and it will cost me over $500 including the labor. Please advise......
