Orders not correct and minor mods needed.
Ordered p/n PS10057154, sold as a kit of TWO upper rack tine rows. I received one. Customer service issued a return tag and ordered a second kit, which again was supposed to be two rows. Replacement order arrived with just one. Fortunately, I had expected this and had not yet returned the first kit. Called customer service and told them not to expect the return of the first order.
This kit is sold as fitting several models of Whirlpool and KitchenAid dishwashers, which I verified that my KA was on the list. A minor installation problem occurred when I discovered that the upright tines of this kit don't have the exact same spacing as the KitchenAid originals. The upright tines need to be exactly half the distance between each of the crossbars on the rack below in order to install the three retaining clips found on each row. With the spacing of these tines, there wasn't quite enough room to install the clips. Fortunately, the retaining clips were manufactured with an excessive amount of shoulder on each one. Trimming off the excess material with a fine-toothed hacksaw blade made the clips narrow enough to be used without compromising their ability to hold the tine rows in place. I've used the machine several times now and the clips are holding everything in place as expected.

Took minutes to repair. Unhooked the electrical plug connector to the drain pump. 1/4 turn to the left and pump was off. Just the opposite to install new pump

The original Tine Pivot had broken
I looked at the position of the remaining Tine Pivot, since there are four on this dishwasher upper rack, and positioned the replacement pivot and pressed it into place. It was a snap (excuse the pun!). NOTE: My dishwasher's Model Number was not in the list provided herein. I had to search a couple of models to find the Upper Rack that looked like ours and to find the Tine Pivot replacement part that looked like ours.That process took longer than the "repair".

Simply take out the lower dishwasher rack, grab a pair of pliers and gently pry the old assembly off and snap the new assembly into place. It's very easy.

Plastic pieces snapped off upper rack adjuster
This was so simple! Some plastic tabs snapped off the upper rack adjuster in our dishwasher (which is not even 4 years old, so you can see how crappily made these things are), rendering the entire appliance unusable since the water sprayer thingie attaches to the underside of the upper rack. I was able to easily find replacement rack adjusters on PartSelect and thanks to the repair video, was able to install them in about 20 minutes. Most of that was rewinding the video since I had trouble getting the broken adjusters off! So delighted to have been able to do this myself and avoid paying $$$ for a repairman call out and replacement parts.

The drain Pump failed
Took the kick plate off without removing the the machine.
Reached in and turned the existing pump to loosen it. Then disconnected the wire.
Reversed the process to install the new pump.
