All Installation Instructions for Whirlpool Dishwasher DP8700XTN0

broken roller wheels

Loading and unloading the dishwasher can be a pain if the rollers are not aligned or falling off. This part was easy to install even though it didn't exactly match the original (very old) dishwasher parts.

Looked at right side of dishwasher to see how it was attached and did the same. Spring was slightly shorter than the original and the loops are not a sturdy. Will see how long it last.

Latch had broken on detergent dispenser cover

Remove retainer that holds door color slide in front of door & then remove the slide. Remove cardboard backing, remove electric latch release, remove latch & replace with new one. Open door & slide out the cup dispenser cover pin & spring & replace with new ones. This was all straight-forward & simple.

Both outside door handles turned very beige

Everything worked perfectly---thanks to the suggestion of your call center agent. She suggested that since the replacement door handles were no longer available, I should consider repainting them--it worked like a charm. Please tell her she was a life saver. We rent that house in Fl and my returning tenants had complained about the discoloring refer handles. Thank you

leaking badly & not cleaning dishes

You need a properly sized hex (Allen) wrench to get the screws out. Basically simple: remover bottom roller tray, unscrew large plastic holding bolt, remove lower spray arm, unscrew bolts (be sure the wrench is sized right or you might strip the heads), and replace gasket; then reverse procedure. Chances are if the gasket was bad, it will be very obvious (out of circular slot and stretched).
