Dishwasher Dish Rack Adjuster Kit - Left and Right Side Specifications
This rack adjuster kit (Dishrack Adjuster Kit, Adjuster Kit, Dishwasher Rack Adjuster) will adjust the height of the upper rack of your dishwasher. It connects to the dishrack. The kit is constructed of grey plastic and metal, and measures approximately 12 inches wide and 6.5 inches tall. The rack adjuster can break from material fatigue or prolonged high temperature exposure. High temperature exposure can compromise the integrity of the materials. If the rack adjuster breaks, your upper rack may fall down, may be unlevel, or the door may not close. This kit includes the parts to replace the left and right-side rack adjusters and has been upgraded to a more durable metal design (2 adjuster assemblies, 1 left hand and 1 right hand actuator cover, 2 gray adjuster covers, and 2 gray adjuster housings)
Repair Tip: It is recommended to replace both the right and left adjusters at the same time, as they wear at a smiliar rate. You will need the rack adjuster kit if a wheel breaks, or there is an issue with connecting to the rack itself.

dishwasher rack broken
I followed the video instructions, they were very clear. Only issue is the screws have a special head. They provide a small tool for it, but it would be easier if the head was just a philips head.

Rack was drooping, falling off wheels.
VIEW THE INSTALLATION VIDEOS. They made it clear and simple...wish every company did them...
Plastic pieces had broken on both the top and bottom racks
The parts select site had an excellent breakdown of what I needed to replace. When I got the pieces, however, it wasn't so apparent how to do it. I actually used YouTube video to show the process.
The trickiest part was actually uninstalling the broken pieces. I had to work backwards through the YouTube video.
The o
... Read morether tricky bit is having a sense of how hard you can push to snap plastic pieces in and out.
Also, watch the whole video! I didn't, and I ran out for a tool (a star driver, I think that's what it's called) that was actually in the bag of screws that came with the assembly.
It seems like Kitchen Aid realizes they have a problem with plastic fatigue, because they have replaced some of the plastic parts with metal.
If you take your time and stay organized this is a very doable repair.
Just took the top rack out - set it on a wide flat surface - and removed the old parts and put in the new....since the pictures to follow were a little faded, it took a minute to figure out which direction things went...after that, it was fairly quick and easy.

Take out old broken parts and install new ones
Followed the instructions from the U Tube video by Matt from Appliance Video for Adjuster Kit W10712394. Matt did an outstanding job describing exactly how to remove the old parts and install the new ones. He speaks slowly and precisely and left no detail behind. Removing and installing the parts went like a breeze! Thank you Matt!

The wheels that roll the top rack were torn off. I put my model number in and your website it is telling me that I need this part # W10712394. But I looked at the pics and everything looks metal but my parts are plastic and look a lot different. Are you sure this is what I should be buying? I really need to fix my dishwasher. Pls help!
Hello Tiff, you are right, the parts in the picture will look different than the parts you are replacing. This kit is newly designed by the manufacturer, and it is the right wheel kit W10712394 for your model. By following the instruction sheet provided it will show you how to install the parts, and should be as good as new. Best of luck with this repair.

The top rack of our KitchenAid dishwasher keeps falling out of the roller wheels.The roller wheels appear to be fine, but it looks like the male inserts which attach the rack to the wheels have lost their clips ... so the rack never "locks" into place.Please let me know which parts I need to repair this incredibly annoying problem. Thanks.

When i typed in the model number to my dishwasher on the website, it showed up as unknown. The pieces connecting the top rack to the side rail are broken and the top rack is falling off the track. Which parts can i order to fix this problem?
For model number KUDS35FXSSA
Hi Alisia,
Thank you for your inquiry. I found your model number on one of our resource sites and the rack adjuster kit - left and right side, part number W10712394, you mentioned in your question to us is what you need to fix the issue. The parts were previously made of plastic so Whirlpool redesigned them and now they are made of metal to make them more durable. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

This is more to confirm what the experts have been reiterating. The new, updated, metal part fits well and is much more robust than the original.Our top and bottom racks had problems with the plastic axles sheering off.The new design uses a solid axle core instead of 3-4 "fingers" holding the wheel on. You will love the update.

Rack wheel clip broken rack keeps falling out i order positioner Part number: ps11750093 is this correct part
For model number KUDE20FBSS0
Hi Francis,
Thank you for your question. If it is your wheel that is broken, you would have to replace your rack adjuster kit. I hope that helps. However if it is only your positioner that is broken, you would only need to replace the positioner. Good luck with your repair.
