The rollers on my top rack in my dish washer were broken and wouldn't stay on every time you pull the rack out it would fall. So I ordered the rack adjuster kit and it had everything I needed to fix it. Works like brand new now not hard to change and put new on took about 15 minutes approximately. D

Just remove from dishwasher the top rack and remove the old rack adjusters and put the new ones on , only 2 screws to each side and you are back in business. Very easy to change out. Put the rack back in slots in dishwasher and that's it.

Replaced the strainer. This keeps the two sprayers clean/clear so they do not clog up. Dishes are cleaner now. Note : if your sprayers are clogged it is a long process to clear out the sprayers. Dishes will not be clean until your sprayers are all cleared.
