Upper Wheel Assembly

I used to love my dishwasher, but the top shelf was hanging and the bottom rack kept getting hung up. I was helping clean up at a friends house and was very envious of how nice her dishwasher was working. I was considering getting a new one. Then I decided to go online and see if I could find the parts. For under $15.00 I purchased both wheel assemblies. Also, I received them the next day!! Now, I love my dishwasher again....

Pulled off old part, put on new. I bought 2 wheels because if one breaks, the rest are about to. May as well be ready. I spent appx $15.00. Repair by service person would have been well over $150.00

I used a flat screwdriver and small forceps pliers to remove the broken wheel on the lower rack, followed the online video and it was done in a few moments. On the upper one I removed the end piece using small forceps pliers then removed the broken wheel. I used the flat screwdriver to ease the new wheel assembly on the the rack, engaged it in the track then replaced the end piece on the track and the repair was complete. I did order 2 of each item to keep as spare for the next repair!

1. Removed the guide end clips/stops by pressing the release tabs. 2. Slide out and remove the upper dishwasher tray. 3. Released all four upper wheel assemblies and replaced with four new ones. I did use a flat blade screwdriver to slip the clip off the tray hold and then removing the wheel assembly was easy. 4. Reinstall the upper dishwasher tray by aligning it with the guides (very easy). 5. Reinstalled the plastic tray guide clips/stops by pressing them back into place. Make sure the tabs lock into place properly. 6. Enjoy hassle free dishwashing again!

I had to lightly pry off the long piece of plastic next to the wheel assembly because I had to twist the assembly counter clockwise to remove the old one. Also had to place the new one so that it rotated clockwise to seat it. Then replaced the other plastic piece.
