To make this repair, start by pulling out the rack, then, using your screwdriver, reach in behind the rack stops and press the clips in.

There is a slight burning smell when the washer is running and the water is not fully or completely draining from the base of the basin.
Chris Boyle Profile
Hello Dean, thank you for writing. One of the most common assumptions about the burning smell in a dishwasher is that a piece of plastic has come in contact with the heating elements inside the tub. An unsecured plastic cup, utensil or wayward packaging material can fall out of the rack and rest on the heating element, melting and emitting a burning smell. I hope this helps.

Ok....I understand plastic on the heating element.....i have checked and there is no plastic inside the basin, nor is there anything which appears to have been melted by the element. also included from the last question, the basin is not fully drained, could the "not draining" issue be related to the smell i have encountered?
Chris Boyle Profile
Hi Dean. Yes it sure could. Check your drain pump PS11753379. Perhaps the issue with the pump being partially damaged. Thank you for your question and good luck with your repair.

Replace rack adjusters - wheel were broken

  • Paul from Encinitas, CA

  • 15 - 30 mins

Replacement was pretty easy after figuring out how to unsnap/unlock the old pieces. Tools only used to do a little prying and poking, but really aren't needed. Everything either snaps or slides together. Piece of cake

broken rollers on upper basket
650 of 961 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Walton from Chittenango, NY
  • A Bit Difficult
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Pliers, Screw drivers
I took the broken basket adjuster off and then attached the new one. It wasn't too difficult, however some removal instructions and re-install instructions( or just a picture supplied) would have been helpful. This isn't an issue for a mechanically inclined person, but would be a challenge for someone that isn't. Thanks.

dishwasher not draining after wash cycle
492 of 561 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Andrew from Alexandria, VA

  • Less than 15 mins

Caviat: The actual repair is less than 15 minutes, but I spent a lot of time playing with it before I figured out it was that easy and fast. You don't need to remove the dishwasher from the counter to do this. And it will probably help to look at the new part closely so you can understand where the retainer clip is to press it and release the old pump.

First remove the water from the dishwasher pan that would not drain with a wet/dry vac. Otherwise the water will all drain on the floor when you remove the pump. Then remove the two screws on the kickplate on the front of the unit below the door. Remove the kickplate/maintainence access cover. The drain pump is on the right about 8 inches in. Using two hands you grasp the drain pump with your right hand and use the left hand to push the retaining clip down. Then the drain pump will rotate 1/4 turn counterclockwise and can be removed without pulling the dishwasher out. There is likely to be some water leak out that was traped in the pump housing that you can not reach with the vac. Disconnect the wire. Connect the wire to the new pump, put it in place and 1/4 turn clockwise to install it. Replace the kickplate and you're done.
