Bottom tray wheels would catch on old door gasket making it difficult to remove and insert.
Followed the exellent instructions, the flange kit really solves the problem of lower rack wheel catching on the seal. Superior replacement parts compared to previouse repair two years ago.
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!
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.
Replaced four lower rack on a whirlpool dishwasher.
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.
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.
I pulled the basket out, pulled the cap and connector assembly off with ease, no tools needed, it comes right up, and put the new one on. Put the basket back in and it works great now!
the design of the new roller kit was a little different than the original. took a minute to figure the installation. all went well. the new roller assembly fit the 30 year old dish rack
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.
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.
This repair should have been rated "Easy" but because of a) the age of the dishwasher - 25 years and b) the close quarters to replace the spring, it was a bit of a challenge. If I could have pulled the dishwasher out a few inches, replacing the spring would have been a snap. But because of new flooring on top of existing flooring, that wasn't possible. Also the side cabinets were so close that getting a pair of pliers in there to hook the spring onto the door was tough. Ended up cutting out some cabinet facing that wasn't going to effect the look of things in order to get my hands and tools in there to get the hook end of the spring on the door. After I finally got it on and replaced the kickplate, sat back and had a cold one. Whew!
