66213293K112 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

Laid all the parts out after removing the old adjusting units off of the top rack. I figured out how the new parts went together and attached them to the rack and replaced the rack in the dishwasher. The instructions that came with the new adjuster kit were not much help they were hard to understand and the pictures weren’t very good easier to figure it out on my own. Hope this helps

The kit didn't come with instructions, so I found the following YouTube video

I ordered part PS10064063, metal left and right rack adjusters that should be more durable than the plastic parts that broke. To install, I watched this YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otUn8eoceBw), pausing and rewinding as needed. Piece of cake! FYI, when the axle broke, the small little plastic prongs stopped the grinder, which caused the dishwasher not to cycle. Fortunately, that was repaired under extended warranty, but the rack wheel was not covered. The repairman said the grinder (in most dishwashers these days) is a very delicate blade. They can't really grind much - even tiny plastic pieces.

The new part has been modified so I was not replacing with "like" parts and with the photos being not very clear, it took a bit longer to figure out what went where. Also it took a little time to figure out how the old adjuster came apart but it really didn't matter if I broke it, it was broken already.

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.

Followed the video and it went almost perfect. Had to step back at first and reposition the initial step and then it went quickly. Used a star screwdriver rather than the adapter piece sent with.

The repair was easy: just remove old assembly and replace with new one which was slightly different. The included directions were very poorly printed and practically useless so if you are not somewhat mechanically inclined it would be almost impossible to install just using the instructions provided

One side at a time. Removal a bit difficult, but first side took longer. Second side was a cinch. It would be nice if they had better pictures, but it was a fairly straightforward repair. Nice to have it done and working again

CALLED PARTS SELECT AND THEY SENT A LINK TO A WONDERFUL VIDEO. VERY VERY HELPFUL. THIS COMPANY WAS VERY NICE TO DEAL WITH. ALSO WAS ABLE TO ORDER PART LATE SAT. EVENING WHICH WAS GREAT.

The kit number PS10064063 has much improved stainless steel framework. It's apparent the manufacturer recognized the deficiency of the original design. The instructions are adequate but the minimal essential to do the job. The images on the instruction sheet are low quality. Removal of the old parts isn't well instructed. Removal of the clips holding the failed roller mechanism was obvious, but the only way I could see to remove the adjuster was to pry it apart with a flat head screw driver. The Philips-to-hex head adaptor for installing the only two screws for each side that are needed in the new parts is a nice touch, so it isn't necessary to buy a hex screw driver. All in all a very satisfactory conclusion, since the extended warrantee service had declared the model to be unrepairable. The repair kit at reasonable price avoided the problems of having to remove and replace the dishwasher which otherwise is very satisfactory

Remove any pieces of the rear stop by prying it off the end with small flat blade screwdriver. Make sure rack is fully on the roller tracks and then carefully push the new plastic end piece onto the rack. Be sure to orient it correctly by checking the end piece of the other rack.
I ordered two and replace them both at the same time.

The most difficult part was taking the old, snap-together, parts off. The new parts were easy and quick to install.

easy - plastic snap in part

To remove the old parts off the top rack I used a jack knife & a needle nosed plier. The pictures were small in the instructions especially where it showed the small backing plate that held the part that slides up & down. I installed it wrong but I could easily remove it once I pushed in the the tab with a knife blade & then installed it correctly. The updated metal wheels are a big improvement & it works fine now. Huge savings because I did it myself, anyone can do it if you're not in a hurry.

1. Remove the top rack
2. Take a screwdriver and pry off back plastic stop at end of track
3. Slide track off, then slide new track on
4. Take the plastic back stop originally pried off of old track and snap into new track
5. Open plastic stop at front of track
6. Replace top rack.
7. Close plastic stop at from of track
8. Good to go!
