DP8700XTN3 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

follow instructions, unscrew old part, screw in new part, worked like new

It took longer to take the 2 screws out than it did to put spring on.

Since there were no printed instructions, we looked at the photo schematic.
Reassembly using the photo was easy by putting the old rack alongside the new one and adjusting the new rack spacing to match the old one.
We also had new wheels which snapped on.
We were delighted to repair and replace this good, older dishwasher rather than purchase a new one!

One day after placing my order, replacement wheels arrived. I used a screwdriver to pop each (4 total) old set of tandem wheels off the basket basket and poped each new set on.

Removed old wheels, unclipped. Clipped in new wheels.

All pieces just snap off and the new one just snap right back in place.

Remeber take a little time to do your repair correctly.

It is cheaper to repair an appliance than it is to replace.

simple, simple, simple ! popped off the old ones, snapped on the new ones. Thanks !

I snapped the old ones off & snapped on the new ones. It couldn't have been easier!

i used a screwdriver to pry off the old wheels then snapped on the new ones.
This was the easiest repair I have ever made on an appliance.

installed a new rack

I prayed old wheel assembly’s off with the claw end of a claw hammer. Carefully snapped on the new assembly’s which were a little tricky to align. Went well, took about 15 min.

Snapped on the rollers, removed the center part from the old rack that sprays the water and snapped it on the new one. We then bent the back row down so it would acomodate my larger items. My old rack had that feature. You could either have the rack up or down. Now l
ooks beautiful and works perfectly.
Could have used some directions though.

Reassembled lower access covers using the new screws purchased from parts direct, perfect fit replacement. Hardest part remembering how they fit Dishwasher.

Nozzle cap rubber housing was split and cracked. It simply unscrews. The replacement was a matter of screwing the new nozzle cap on. My wife was trusted with this installation. Believe me, this indicates how easy it was.

The brackets that held the original wheels were still on the rack. They were easily pulled off the rack. The new assembly did not look like the original part. It was not difficult to see how they fit onto the rack. The only caution is to press the top part of the new assembly onto the frame before snapping the rest of the new piece into place.
