Dishmaster had the needed parts to keep our faucet in good condition.
Thanks for the review and your orders, Dale!

It took 1 hour and multiple attempts to install this correctly mostly due to incomplete and unclear instructions. Diagrams are of POOR quality. Instructions should have EMPHASIZED that small parts may remain within the faucet, may be difficult to see and must be removed (there was a mention of this). Instructions did not mention what to do with the metal nut that holds the parts together. Instructions are of a that quality one would expect from a less than professional operation.
Hi Marie,
Thank you for letting us know of the issues you had. I've reviewed the instructions this morning and we're making some updates that will hopefully make them more clear. Please don't hesitate to reach out if you need any assistance in the future. ~ Chris
works perfect
The installation instructions were easy to follow and the new diverter works like a charm.
The parts came as ordered with accurate instructions. I was able tonreplace my diverted rod effectively and now the water flow to the Dishmaster wand is diverted when the faucet turns off.
The Dish Master diverter assembly took care of my issue with the diverter assembly sticking on the on position all the time requiring that I push it down, or the off position, to ensure that water wouldn't spray all over the counter. With the new diverter assembly, all works well as intended, when you shut the water off, the diverter assembly automatically returns to the off position.
I highly recommend the Dish Master faucet system with soup dispenser and washer wand.
Very happy that I can buy all the parts to keep my Dishmaster working like new. The diverter valve assembly is easy to replace and the replacement parts are high quality. I’m a Dishmaster fan for life!
The replacement diverted works great and the instructions were complete and easy to understand.

You guys are great. I got just what I ordered and it works fine now. Keep it up.
Replacement part works perfectly. Pricing is eye-watering.
You could have saved $33 by ordering just the K0228 kit. Both are not necessary.
Changed out the diverter valve and still had and intermittent seep out the brush. Increased the pressure on the shutoff valve handles and that took care of the problem. The control handles will shut off the flow out of the faucet with slightly less pressure (torque) but still allow a tiny seep out of the diverter. Lesson learned.
It may be that the surface the diverter valve presses against has a build up of lime and is not allowing the seal to seat properly. Please see these instructions: https://dishmasterfaucet.com/pages/ts27-water-flows-from-the-spout-and-the-wand-at-the-same-time
The replacement is much better than the original part

Exact part needed and easy to install
Very pleased
My diverter assembly would not turn off when I shut off the water. My Dishmaster is still under warranty, so I called customer service. They gave me instructions on how to repair it which did not work. Another call to customer service and they sent me out a new diverter assembly. Worked perfectly, super easy to install. Great customer service form Dishmaster!
I bought the diverter valve in case I had problems after greasing the diverter on our dishmaster which is several months old. Applying plumbers grease to the unit solved the problem for about 2-3 week but it is going bad again. I have not replaced the valve as yet..
I had diverter valve problems with our previous dishmaster as well, I did replace the diverter valve and it lasted about 4 months. I then replaced the unit.
I have had dismasters for over 50 years and have never had diverter problems like this.

We're sorry you're having trouble. The diverter must be clean and lubricated. Never use WD40.

The new diverter is doing a good job. The tutorials are a great help too. I called & spoke to the staff. They were all very helpful & friendly, the way service use to be. A big Thanks to all of you.
i put a spacer between knob and spring to increase spring pressure. works great now. i love my dishmaster
If this should happen again, examine the face of the insert. If it has an accumulation of lime or other mineral deposits they must be removed. Do not scratch the surface. Use a towel to remove the standing water around the insert. Replace the water with white vinegar and allow it to sit until the deposits are dissolved. Do not scratch the surface.

like the rest of the parts it fit great and thank you for keeping the parts around
This part came quickly and was exactly what I needed to get my diverter knob working again. The YouTube videos and videos on the website are an added plus!
