DU9450XB0 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

Swapped out the old upper dish rack with a new one. A video made the change simple.

Unscrewed old access panel from dishwasher. Took out insulation and glued to new access panel. Took off bottom panel and placed on new front access panel. New panel fit perfectly on front of dishwasher. Hard part was getting the bottom panel to stay on new front access panel, but hammered it in place protecting the new access panel with Styrofoam cushion. Took about 45 minutes from start to finish. Used DW-40 around screw holes, because of age of dishwasher and rust setting up over years (22 years old).

I needed to cut 1/4inch off the panel and unscrew the side piece which held it in place....
insert the new piece and put back the 3 screws. Done!

Pulled out the old with needle nose pliers. Pushed in new door seal with fingers.

The door seal was easy. In less than 15 minutes I peeled the old one off and installed the new one. Also the new seal arrived in 2 days. In replacing the seal I noticed a screw laying in the bottom of the dishwasher. As I removed the lower washing arm which was real easy I noticed that the plastic bearing for the lower arm was no good. Late Thursday evening I went on line and ordered the bearing, and to my surprise it was delivered to my house on Saturday. In 15 minutes I had the bearing installed and we were back in business. I'm just amazed at how easy your web site is to use, and the promptness of the parts delivery. You guys are great.

Removed and replaced leaking water inlet valve, 10 minutes and saved me a hundred in plumber fees.

The whole job took less than 5 minutes...no tools were needed The diagnosis was right on the money

placed new silverware holder in dihwasher. Very easy.

I grabbed the lower right end of the gasket with my Leatherman Tool pliers and pulled out the old gasket.
I installed the new gasket. No cleaning was necessary.
It took less than five minutes. It now works like new.
I ordered the part with standard delivery and it was here in just a couple of days. Very easy fix.

The old tines on the lower tray were easily removed by bending them in the middle and pulling the ends out of the holders. The replacement tines went in just as easily. The old door seal was pulled out by hand and the new seal was pressed in easily with just using fingers.

I was most impressed with the communication in regards to product backorder. They gave me an estimate of product availability and an option to change the order. Great customer service!

quick and easy,tine-row just snapped right in! Took about 15 seconds!

First I removed the the rubber sides. Then I slide the replacement panel over the exisiting one. That's it no other tools were needed. I didn't even break a sweat.

The rack came with pictorial instructions which were fairly veg, however they were to the point. The wheels snapped into place easily, and the center water transfer tube twisted off the old one and twisted on the new one just fine. It is a very good idea to keep the old one out to look at as a guide. There were no instructions on how to remove the transfer tube, I was lucky to have already worked on these before. After that it fits and works just peachy.

Took off bottom plate (2 screws) and ran unit to ensure where leak is from....it appears to be the door seal. Pulled out old seal with fingers and replaced door seal, ensuring its properly "fitted"..ran unit, no leaks, put bottom plate back on

Just screwed the new cap in. This PartSelect was AWESOME. So easy. Lighting fast shipping !!!!
