Excellent tip. Unfortunately there is no opening in the side of the door (rear) of my 2016 Sorento. I had to pull the door panel, which isn't all that hard anyway.
To access the bolt (for the REAR door handle) he references in the video, you have to take off the inner door panel. Give a firm tug on the bottom of the door panel (use the pocket built into door), then once all the clips are free, the only thing holding the panel on is that it is hanging on the top edge. Lift up to get it off the ledge, and then the screw can be found.
Thank you so much for this video! Mine popped in a parking lot. A guy was walking by and casually said, “There goes $400…” 😏 Thanks for not only saving me money but the hassle of the stupid Kia dealership! ❤
Do you have a video for replacement of the FRONT door handle? Every video shows rear door which is much simpler than the front. Everyone says they don't know why video's show removal of the interior door panel. Well, that's because the front door handle has a lock and is very different than the rear. I'm trying to avoid removing the door panel as well, but don't see any way to get to the FRONT door handle and lock assembly without removing the panel.
This is why we need to see dislikes. Put the large handle part in first before the locking piece. Dude knows he messed up and cuts video before putting in second piece.
Perfect! Thank you kindly for this informative video. I purchased a after market handle off Amazon for 9.99 and will be replacing the broken one tomorrow.
I had this problem and found a fix. Resetting the breaker or unplugging the dishwasher doesn't do the trick in certain scenarios. Here is an explanation on what causes this problem. This dishwasher and other models are designed without chopper blades for the drain pump. The drain filter that catches food matter is supposed to catch all food. If you pull the the filter out to clean it and food remains at the bottom of the dishwasher in the filter compartment, make sure to clean out that compartment as well. My wife by accident thought the dishwasher was clogged, so she took the filter out mid cycle and tried to drain it without the filter. This in turn sucked all the food into the pump compartment and clogged the system. This in turn prevents draining and causes the dishwash to flash the sanitize light and end the wash prematurely. I removed the front plate under the dishwasher, disconnected the drain hose from the pump, (water will come out, so be careful to unplug the power and also have a flat tray with rags there). I then lifted the clips and removed the pump to reveal a compartment full of rice. Once done cleaning all that, I reassembled the dishwasher pump and hose and put everything back to normal. The dishwasher is running like new now, and it sounds much better as well. No more humming or grinding sounds. I hope this helps people out there. NEVER RUN THE DISHWASHER WITHOUT THE FILTER, AND NEVER REMOVE THE FILTER MIDCYCLE. Keep the filter AND the bottom of the the filter compartment clean before reinstalling the filter.
screw literally doesn't budge. got a "gold" piece attached to end of it, which looks like its from the cap... such a simple repair that is driving me nuts... any suggestions.
@@mikep5182 Had the same problem (gold piece stuck on the outside which made the screw not budge at all) Almost gave up before seeing your comment- will try a 10mm socket! Thanks for posting this!
So my door handle broke on the inside when I “popped” the handle back inside. The screw wasn’t lined up well with the small piece and this method seemed like it would make it work.
Would have worked great but my screw doesn't line up with the new cap 🙄... This is why I buy American vehicles. Last Kia POS my wife will own. Careful, our sunroof just exploded the other day too.
You made it so easy for me to change it. I used to work on my own cars in the 80' & 90's but these newer vehicles No Way. But you saved me from taking it to my body shop mechanic. Awesome!!!!
Did you use a Philips head screwdriver to remove the screw because on my 2013 Kia Rio, it's clear the screw wasn't designed specifically for it to be removed by a Philips head screwdriver.
Local Kia Dealership told me it would take an hour for labor and cost $115 and that doesn't include the cost of the part (which they said was $24). I found the part online for $16 so I will be trying this myself.
From a 2012 Sorento owner, many thanks for this video! It helped a lot of us out! As was suggested by others on here, you probably want to re-shoot it showing that (1) You need to replace the long chrome handle piece first before putting the shorter cap on; and (2) You can (should) use a 10mm socket to slowly back the screw out and re-tighten it, when and if it won't come out using a phillips-head screwdriver (or drill bit). Again, though, VERY useful video, and you earned a sub for it.
