DU8550XT2 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

Kit didn't have the center conical piece. Easy to switch tho. I am impressed at the speed of which the part arrived.

I looked online to see a video. Dad to pop lid off soap dispenser. Slide a plastic part to the left n the spring slide off. Video showed how to place prongs on spring . Then had to lift the upper part of spring to lift onto plastic part of soap dispenser. That was it.

Unfortunately it still doesn't work. I asked Ina email to your company for any suggestions, No reply.

installed a new rack

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.

Simply snapped out the old ones and snapped in the new ones. Worked like a charm. Glad you had the parts.

Swapped out the old upper dish rack with a new one. A video made the change simple.

watched a video

the plastic pin that retains the spring has a head on one end that hits a plastic stop on the door to keep it from coming out. I used a small grinder and made a flat spot on the head diameter to make it easy to slide out. This is easier than trying to pry the door off the pin at the two retaing snaps. I was conderned these pin retainer clips were brittle and would break off.
Once the pin is slid out, it is a matter to hold the new spring holes in line with the pin. rotate pin so flat side you ground is turned up, so pin will not move out that way. Tiij about an hour

Looked at existing assembly and snapped on new one, duplicating existing installation.

I called to order two springs and your salespersons were very helpful. The two springs were sent immediately. my husband pulled out our under-the-counter dishwasher and replaced both springs within 30 minutes

after figuring out how to position the door the instructions were good

Snapped in new part

The rack came with pictorial instructions which were fairly veg, however they were to the point. The wheels snapped into place easily, and the center water transfer tube twisted off the old one and twisted on the new one just fine. It is a very good idea to keep the old one out to look at as a guide. There were no instructions on how to remove the transfer tube, I was lucky to have already worked on these before. After that it fits and works just peachy.

This problem was making me NUTS! Every time I pulled the lower rack out, the rack would go off the track, threatening to break every dish, and I would literally have to half-carry the rack to move it in and out. VERY frustrating. No money for a new dishwasher, didn't want to pay for a whole new lower rack ($100). Then I discovered I could simply replace the wheel assemblies for less than $30 and no toold required. Yee-hah! It was literally a SNAP!

I ordered a new rack, snapped the stuff together, and slid the old one out and the new one in. Fit beautifully. Piece of cake and much cheaper than a new dishwasher.
