66213293K112 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

. This is the second time we have had this defect with this machine. Apparently due to the frequent failures KitchenAid have redesigned the whole adjuster assembly using a mix of materials rather than all plastic. I was therefore supplied two complete assemblies, for which both existing assemblies had first to be removed. The installation instructions supplied with these replacements were not clear, although the text was intelligible. The photographs of the required work as "figures" were however almost unintelligible. The first side took a long time to complete with much trial and error. Once complete this followed as a model for the second side that went much quicker. Most important to watch for the side of the sliders to be outwards since the illustration is wrong. A similar situation exists with the adjustment button and assembly which can be installed in any of four ways, although only one will work. Finally an "errata" insert indicated that a special tool was included in the hardware set for installing the two screws using a Phillips screwdriver; this was not included in my set, although fortunately I had a socket set with this tool included.

Replaced adjustor mechanisms on both sides. Instructions enclosed with the parts kit were pretty much useless - photographs were dark and blurry and not very helpful. Removing the old parts was the most difficult part of the job, and all that the instructions said about that was "remove old parts". I found an excellent video on YouTube by a gentlemen named "Matt" which saved the day; couldn't have done the job without the video.

Use of black/white pictures made it hard to see part details. Use grayscale insted. Also provide a schematic of the parts involved. The similarity of names made it hard to determine which part was being referred to. used magnifying glass and a lot of trial and error to resolve instalation problems. Second set of rollers went smoother.

Upper basket removed because I could not take half the retainers

While watching my infant daughter! The information strict ions and illustrations made my repair go easily. I removed the old parts and replaced the parts with ease.

Removed broken adjuster by prying open latch tabs. Assembled replacement per instructions. Had to test fit parts due to poor illustrations, compared to other adjuster for correct installation. 2nd side went much quicker

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.

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.

I read through the instructions which actually took longer than actually doing the repair because some of the pictures were a little dark and it wasn't clear exactly which direction the parts were facing. The repair went exactly as the directions said.

Unsnapped old adjusters, new ones went in easy after reading instructions.

Fairly straightforward install of the kit parts. I was glad to see the new parts were stainless steel and not the weak plastic. I wish I would have known this - I ordered two kits instead of one because I figured it would break again soon. I was very glad to finally find the included screwdriver to torx adapter - I forgot my torx set.

Basically I just had to look at the instructions that came with replacement kit and follow the directions as shown.The included pictures for the kit were not very clear. Poor quality ! That being said, this install went very smooth, The directions were easy to understand and I had this dishwasher back up and running in no time. It was a pleasure to actually get this unit fixed so quickly. Thank You !!

Searched YouTube and followed a YouTube video step by step. YouTube had the exact same part replacement instructions. Paper instructions were difficult to read, but YouTube repairman takes you through procedure with closeup video.

You have to go online and watch a video of how to install the replacement part. Ten or so minutes later you are done.You tube makes everything easier.

The instruction included were pretty comprehensive. Also, it is not a difficult fix. Only thing I did different was install the release arm before snapping the upper part on to the rack. Liked the Phillips screw converter included in case someone does not have star bits for the screws. Returned the stop Clips, not needed.
