All Installation Instructions for Whirlpool Dishwasher DU7500XL0

1/4 inch bolt frozen to shaft

The 1/4 inch impeller bolt to shaft would not budge with a nut driver so I had to use a ratchet to loosen it. I could not hold the drain impeller with an adjustable wrench so I had to use a vice-grip. This still did not loosen it so I used an oscillating power saw to cut away at the bottom of the drain impeller being careful to only cut so deep, I didn't want to cut into the motor shaft. Once I had cut some grooves into the drain impeller, I could break it into pieces and remove it. Upon reassembly I tightened the 1/4 inch bolt with the ratchet.

Bottom tray wheels would catch on old door gasket making it difficult to remove and insert.

Followed the exellent instructions, the flange kit really solves the problem of lower rack wheel catching on the seal. Superior replacement parts compared to previouse repair two years ago.

lower rack started to rust through coating

Since there were no printed instructions, we looked at the photo schematic.
Reassembly using the photo was easy by putting the old rack alongside the new one and adjusting the new rack spacing to match the old one.
We also had new wheels which snapped on.
We were delighted to repair and replace this good, older dishwasher rather than purchase a new one!

The rear roller frames became warped & made it hard to put the rack in.

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

soap dish door does not always pop open

the plastic pin that retains the spring has a head on one end that hits a plastic stop on the door to keep it from coming out. I used a small grinder and made a flat spot on the head diameter to make it easy to slide out. This is easier than trying to pry the door off the pin at the two retaing snaps. I was conderned these pin retainer clips were brittle and would break off.
Once the pin is slid out, it is a matter to hold the new spring holes in line with the pin. rotate pin so flat side you ground is turned up, so pin will not move out that way. Tiij about an hour
