Original part was broken
Probably from hanging on a tall item as the upper rack was pulled out. One of the retaining tabs was broken and the rotating arm would not stay in place.

Dishwasher Not Cleaning Correctly
Hey I hope this helps someone. . I was quite frustrated with out little dishwasher. It almost seemed that the dishes would come out dirtier than when they went in. Turns out we have hard water and it did a number on the parts of the dishwasher. Luckily, the parts were cheap enough that I thought I would give em a try. Between that an

d something called "dishwasher magic" I had success! One thing I wished I did differently was that I should have purchased two (2) wash arm retainer clips. . . I re-used an old one but it would have been nice to have all new parts inside. Needless to say, our dishes now are super clean. I have 6 young kids so our dishwasher gets a real workout. I may have to purchase a water softener down the road but for now we'll roll the dice. Hope this helps!

Dishwasher wasn't cleaning well, especially top rack
I wanted to get the dishwasher cleaning better and thought that maybe the accumulator needed to be replaced. I figured that I'd swap out all the spray arms as well, just for good measure.
I needed Torx screwdrivers (T15 and T20, I think - not 100% sure on that) and patience because there's really quite a lot of screws to get t ... Read more he accumulator out. Finally got to it and it didn't look damaged, but replaced it anyway.
The spray arms are easy - they just snap in except for the lowest one, that had a plastic nut. I ordered a replacement nut just in case I broke this one (you know how that goes) taking it off. Well, it took pliers, but it came off ok.
In the end, my dishwasher is happy and cleans much better now.

Dishes were coming out dirty... cloudy and white.
I know that I have very hard water, but am reluctant to get a softener. I hope that changing the "guts" of the water delivery to my dishwasher will help...already replaced the filters which helped too... so far, it's a little better.

The spinning wash arm above the glass rack broke off
The part broke off a while ago, and I did not want to call a repair person. The machine still ran, so I ran it with the part missing - the glasses were not very clean, but the repair call was expensive...
I figured that I had a snowballs chance of finding the part number on a molded plastic piece with no numbers printed on ... Read more it. Boy was I wrong. I was able to choose the part off of a schematic of my machine right on the website and it linked me to the right part order form, so I did not even have to go back and find it on a list.
When the part came, all I had to do was unclip the old mount- with my fingers- no tools, and snap in the new part.

I think we need to replace the upper wash arm (not sure that's what you call it...the thing that spins at the top of the dishwasher) it seems very loose.
2 questions:
1. is it supposed to fit loosely?
2. what is that part number for this dishwasher model?
For model number mdb6759aws2
Hello Kim, thank you for writing. This part PS11743060 is the correct replacement for your model. It may have a little bit of give to it, but should not be too loose. The Top Wash Arm Retainer part PS11747716 secures this Top Washer Arm to the unit, you may just need to replace it. We hope this helps.
