Problem
Cross threading on the original part's plastic pipe threads...
Tools
hand tightening is best! Use a little bit of plier torque for a 1/4 turn to finish connection
Repair & Advice
A difficult to reach water inlet connection with plastic threads (thanks Kitchenaid!). Awkwardly trying to connect, I stripped the threads in the plastic connection. The replacement part came quickly (thanks Parts Dr!) and I hand-torqued it before the installation of the dishwasher into the cabinetry.
