I felt that the parts I ordered and received should have been free or at least less costly.
I was going to replace the pin valve that releases soap from the reservoir but decided to check with Dishmaster Faucet first. Roger, had a brilliant suggestion for me. For only a few more dollars, I could replace the entire assembly. I received the assembly and installed it using some of the expert advice Roger gave me. The installation went silky smooth!
I highly recommend Dishmaster Faucet to anyone who intends to self-repair their Dishmaster. I was 10 years old when my Mom got her first Dishmaster and I have never been without one since—50+ years!
Thanks to Roger and all the helpful personnel at Dishmaster Faucet.
Bought valves for cust who decided to change the faucet. It was easy to return the valves.
I grew up with a Dishmaster, so when I got married I had to have one. Just bought a new home and got the latest version. Absolutely love it! Spout is high enough to not interfere with anything I put under it. Valves working super smooth! Just love it.
Unfortunately these chrome hole covers do not even come close to meeting the quality of the Dishmaster faucet. Very disappointing. I ordered 2 and with very little torque the stud pulled out of the bottom of the cover. These look like they were just acquired from Home Depot. Also unfortunate a white hole cover wasn’t available. I ended up going to Lowes and purchased 2 white hole covers that actually worked and look a lot better.
Dishmaster been in our families since 1950's.

still sticks in the on position and soaks the kitchen when you turn the faucet on after usage
I had a dishmasterfor over 40 years. Love the new black face. Just wanted a newer look. Very easy to maintain. Love,love it.
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.
The three (3) items ordered showed up in my US Postal Service delivery on Saturday, October 24, 2020, just when I hoped they would; all in a single package. The two black brushes, silicone grease, and gleaming new chrome spout (without any Cr plating flaws), were packed well and in perfect condition! After applying silicone grease to the O-Ring on the spout's center swivel barrel, and assembling that to the valve manifold; the threaded lock ring engaged the threads immediately. The spout went right on (didn't have to 'wrench' anything on); just snugging up the mounting ring finger-tight! No leaks any more from the spring-loaded, pull-up, diverter rod or the spout swivel area, just as I expected. The spout couldn't have fit any better if I'd made it on a metal lathe and silver brazed it up myself along with the spring-loaded and double o-ring sealed diverter rod and attached black PLS knob. I guess PERFECT WILL JUST HAVE TO DO! Thank you all again. Had the Dishmaster working like new in twenty-minutes.
N.B. - I did notice in the text somewhere on your helpful website on the care required when assembling the R & L vacuum-metallized, molded, PLS hot and cold valve knobs onto their respective valve stems; and that they should be pushed on to their brass stems, engaging what was described in the text as "the knurling." I believe the word you wanted to use would be the brass stem's "splines" (which I think is better than the even the word 'fluted'). The procedure is to rotate the faucet lever CW or CCW such that the water flow is completely shut off (no drips) at the spout, and just before the handle's rotation 'stop' is reached (and not end up over-tightening the valve) placing excessive squeeze on its rubber seal. Knurling is that cross-hatched 'grippy' surface finish treatment rolled onto the brass lock rings using a tool held in the tool post of a metal lath. Lock rings are used to mount the faceplate to the manifold at the H & C valves and PLS housing; and to mount the spout swivel barrel. A very small cutter or endmill would likely be used to make the splines on the knob-end of each valve stem.
On initial inspection the faucet seemed fine, but now that I am using the DishMaster the Chrome housing is not as good of quality as the first one I purchased, and the sprayer does not have an even spray. It is as if the holes were not drilled thoroughly. The welds on the faucet arm are not as nice as before. Also, the brushes are not the same quality as my first ones. I absolutely love using the DishMaster faucet. Too bad my second purchase was not as nice.
As always, brushes arrived safely and in a timely manner. My family has been using Dishmaster's since the 50's. Loyal user.
Have had this Dishmaster 40 yrs. Parts are easily obtained, instructions for installation good. Don't miss a dishwasher at all.
I have an older unit (~18 years old) that started dripping in the wife's garage sink. The repair kit and cap solved the problem. Easy to install and worked perfect.
