DU8700XT0 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

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

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

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

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

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 r ... Read more emove 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 c ...

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

I removed the old rollers. This took a while to figure out how to get the old rollers off. Also it was difficult due to the fact that they had been on the basket for a long time. As soon as I figured out how to take them off and put the new ones on, it was fairly easy. The instructions were non -existent which is why it took a while.

Checked fill line. No leak. Checked drain hose, found crack in hose. Ordered the part, replaced.

Removed hose clamps on drain to DM and garbage disposal. Replaced hose and tightened clamps. Checked for leaks. Buttoned up faceplate on bottom of DM.

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.

Piece of cake. Unsnapped the old parts, studied the new ones for a minute to orient myself, and snapped them on. Not quite as simple a twist as the old ones took, but no problem once they were lined up properly. Total time, about 5 minutes or less.

pulled old wheel housing off and replaced with new replacements ones. Straightforward task.

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.

real easy to install. i took off all 4 sets of rollers. i installed the first set improperly and the 2nd,3rd and 4th properly. i then went back and refasten the first one. no tools needed. 15 min.
