Dishwasher Dish Rack Adjuster Kit - Left and Right Side Specifications
This rack adjuster kit (Dishrack Adjuster Kit, Adjuster Kit, Dishwasher Rack Adjuster) will adjust the height of the upper rack of your dishwasher. It connects to the dishrack. The kit is constructed of grey plastic and metal, and measures approximately 12 inches wide and 6.5 inches tall. The rack adjuster can break from material fatigue or prolonged high temperature exposure. High temperature exposure can compromise the integrity of the materials. If the rack adjuster breaks, your upper rack may fall down, may be unlevel, or the door may not close. This kit includes the parts to replace the left and right-side rack adjusters and has been upgraded to a more durable metal design (2 adjuster assemblies, 1 left hand and 1 right hand actuator cover, 2 gray adjuster covers, and 2 gray adjuster housings)
Repair Tip: It is recommended to replace both the right and left adjusters at the same time, as they wear at a smiliar rate. You will need the rack adjuster kit if a wheel breaks, or there is an issue with connecting to the rack itself.

Worked as expected
Thrilled with the new design. Wish I had known about it sooner. Able now to clean the dishwasher without worrying about destroying the cheap original plastic parts.

Easy repair
I thought I would try fixing what was damaged since I was going to need a new dishwasher anyway. I was very surprised how easy it was to fix and I saved the expense of a new dishwasher. The old one is working as good as new. Great part and it took 5 minutes to replace

The parts worked fine and look like they will be sturdier than the parts that broke because they are made of sturdier material. The manual was a little hard to follow, but it all worked out. Thanks.

Better than the original parts
Glad to see the upgrade to metal on some of the parts. Hoping this will be the only time this has to be replaced.

Rack adjuster kit was exactly what I needed.
This kit is more robust than the plastic OEM parts. Lack of instruction was a slight concern but found a video of how to install. Most of it is intuitive but wasn’t sure about the rack height adjustment handles, whether they are toward the rear or toward the front. I believe that had I not seen the video, I would have figured it out anyway. I thought the price was very fair for the kit. I’m very pleased I bought this kit. Didn’t take hardly anytime at all to install.

Better than new!
The wheels on my top dishwasher rack have been broken for months. Had I known how easy this was to fix, I wouldn’t have waited so long! The replacement parts are metal, and much sturdier than the original parts.

dishwasher rack broken
I followed the video instructions, they were very clear. Only issue is the screws have a special head. They provide a small tool for it, but it would be easier if the head was just a philips head.

Rack was drooping, falling off wheels.
VIEW THE INSTALLATION VIDEOS. They made it clear and simple...wish every company did them...
Plastic pieces had broken on both the top and bottom racks
The parts select site had an excellent breakdown of what I needed to replace. When I got the pieces, however, it wasn't so apparent how to do it. I actually used YouTube video to show the process.
The trickiest part was actually uninstalling the broken pieces. I had to work backwards through the YouTube video.
The o
... Read morether tricky bit is having a sense of how hard you can push to snap plastic pieces in and out.
Also, watch the whole video! I didn't, and I ran out for a tool (a star driver, I think that's what it's called) that was actually in the bag of screws that came with the assembly.
It seems like Kitchen Aid realizes they have a problem with plastic fatigue, because they have replaced some of the plastic parts with metal.
If you take your time and stay organized this is a very doable repair.
Just took the top rack out - set it on a wide flat surface - and removed the old parts and put in the new....since the pictures to follow were a little faded, it took a minute to figure out which direction things went...after that, it was fairly quick and easy.

Take out old broken parts and install new ones
Followed the instructions from the U Tube video by Matt from Appliance Video for Adjuster Kit W10712394. Matt did an outstanding job describing exactly how to remove the old parts and install the new ones. He speaks slowly and precisely and left no detail behind. Removing and installing the parts went like a breeze! Thank you Matt!

The wheels that roll the top rack were torn off. I put my model number in and your website it is telling me that I need this part # W10712394. But I looked at the pics and everything looks metal but my parts are plastic and look a lot different. Are you sure this is what I should be buying? I really need to fix my dishwasher. Pls help!
Hello Tiff, you are right, the parts in the picture will look different than the parts you are replacing. This kit is newly designed by the manufacturer, and it is the right wheel kit W10712394 for your model. By following the instruction sheet provided it will show you how to install the parts, and should be as good as new. Best of luck with this repair.

Thanks.

When i typed in the model number to my dishwasher on the website, it showed up as unknown. The pieces connecting the top rack to the side rail are broken and the top rack is falling off the track. Which parts can i order to fix this problem?

This is more to confirm what the experts have been reiterating. The new, updated, metal part fits well and is much more robust than the original.Our top and bottom racks had problems with the plastic axles sheering off.The new design uses a solid axle core instead of 3-4 "fingers" holding the wheel on. You will love the update.

For model number KUDS30FXSS9
Hi Roger,
Thank you for your inquiry. This would be the part that you would want for that. The manufacturer redesigned this part so now it comes in a kit with both sides. Good luck with your repair.

Rack wheel clip broken rack keeps falling out i order positioner Part number: ps11750093 is this correct part
For model number KUDE20FBSS0
Hi Francis,
Thank you for your question. If it is your wheel that is broken, you would have to replace your rack adjuster kit. I hope that helps. However if it is only your positioner that is broken, you would only need to replace the positioner. Good luck with your repair.
