Replace Rack Adjusters
Remove old rack adjusters. No removal instructions. Do one at a time. First requires some trial & error until removed. Install new replacement. Instructions not clear because pictures are dark & fuzzy. Again, install one with some trial & error. Second remove & replace becomes very easy.

upper left side adjuster assembly - the prongs that hold the wheels on broke off.
I disassembled the left side, and installed the new assembly. However, being older and my eyesight not the best, and had assembled it slightly out of position. After adding more light, a magnifying glass. and a much closer look, I found my mistake. I reassembled the unit. The right side only took about ten minutes. I would recommend a larger more visible picture of the unit. I noticed that the units did not roll as easily as the old ones. One must give a slight push to engage the tray into the back of the dishwasher. Had the picture been better, it would have taken only 20 or 30 minutes to assemble.

Original adjuster wheels broke off
I had left one adjuster on but the new ones were different. I started great but when doing the top part I didn't line up the wire rack with the holes in the upper adjuster plate and found out it was wrong so I had to use the pliers to unsnap the metal piece where they lock in. Once I got the first one complete it only took about 5 minutes to do the other side. The pictures included with the installation sheet were very dark. A you tube video would have been a great asset. It would have made it very simple and easy. In truth, the second side should only take a minute or two because I was only using one hand. My other arm was in a cast because I broke it. Anyone could do this.

Roller mounts on top rack adjusters were broken causing rack to fall of the track.
Removed all the old adjuster parts. Laid out new parts for each side. Would have helped if pictures had been better quality. Figured out how the parts would be installed before actually installing them. Almost messed up 2 plastic tabs by not understanding how 2 parts locked together with the tabs and shoved them together too far on the trial run but, was able to get them apart without breaking off the tabs. The new parts are a stronger design than the original. The tracks work like a dream. I rated it a "Bit Difficult" because in the pictures I could not see enough detail, otherwise I would rate it easy.

Written instructions were not very clear.
I went on line as instructed by one of your representatives and found clear instructions how to remove old part and put on new one. It was an excellent presentation. It can be found at w10712394 instructions

Broke wheels on upper rack
Watched instruction video on You Tube. Easy to figure out how old adjuster came off. Followed instructions from video on installation. Did not have proper star screwdriver, but was able to use allen wrench on two screws.

Broken wheel
The instructions that were included were a bit scetchy, but we figured it out. I like that the replacement part is made of medal and not plastic. We first put the clips on top then figured out they go below middle bar after that it all came together
