Did not use the new parts. After removing the spray arm, found a screw out of place. Put the seal ring back in place and the screw back in the hole. Machine works like new.
Lower dishwasher rack was deteriorating (extensive rust) and needed to be replaced
The lower dish rack rolls directly out of the dishwasher without problem - there is no permanent attachment. The new rack comes as a kit, which includes the 4 required dish rack wheels (Part # 6 in the diagram). One part (only) from the original dish rack needs to be removed and re-installed on the new rack - the upper spray arm tower (Part #5 in the diagram). That is easily removed from the original rack with a 1/8 counterclockwise turn, to disengage the 'feet', and installed on the new rack with a 1/8 clockwise turn. The kit is designed to allow for use on multiple models, so there are 'extra' parts left over, after it is used for the DU8500XX-2 dishwasher. These can be discarded.
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.
Remodeling a house and front panel on dishwasher was bent and needed replaced. I just measured panel and ordered without a model or part number. Was so lucky the panel fit perfect.
Just took old panel off and went side to side and then slide panel under front trim. Of course it was easier because the bottom door trim was off and now I have to find that replacement part. Not having any luck with that!
No tools required except possibly a small screwdriver to help remove stop in end of rack; part easily installed by hand and stop re-inserted. Finished in several minutes. Thanks!
my old lower dishwasher rack was rusted out and some parts broken.
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.
Ordered part, recieved part package, opened package, inserted screw cap rinse aid tank cover, twisted to close. Job completed. Time required about 15 seconds from opening package. Service was excellent and accurate. Thank you.
As described with instructions, removed original "bearing," installed replacement, removed original spring, installed replacement springs. Not difficult.
Lost Screws from lower access covers for my Dishwasher
Reassembled lower access covers using the new screws purchased from parts direct, perfect fit replacement. Hardest part remembering how they fit Dishwasher.
P piece of the adjuster rack was deteriorated and broke off
Crazy Glued it together until we received the new part, but it fell off again. My husband installed the new piece and said it only took him about 2 minutes. You just take off the end cap and pop in the new piece and adjust to match the one on the other side of the rack. He said it was extremely easy and no tools required.
THE LOWER RACK WAS CORRODING IN SPOTS AND WAS RUSTING
THERE WERE NO INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED, COULDN'T FIGURE 0UT HOW TO INSTALL THE NEW ROLLERS ON THE NEW RACK FINALLY INSTALLED THE OLD ROLLERS ON THE NEW RACK AND THEY WERE MUCH EASIER TO INSTALL I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THE NEW ROLLERS WERE THE SAME AS THE OLD ROLLERS EXCEPT FOR THE COST.
