Removed broken tin row. Replaced with new tine row. Tokk less than 1 minute.

Took off the old wheels and placed them on the new rack - fast and easy if you watch the video.

Although the b&w photos spooked me a bit. I quickly learned to tear off/break off the old adjuster arms, and then refer to the written directions for installing the new parts. Don't waste your time trying to figure out removal of the original parts, just get them off. So, I did not find the photos helpful, but I figured it out.,with help from the text And of course, once you do one side, the other side is a breeze!

The 1st person i had contact with wasn't any help choosing the correct part. Paid about $30.00 for the wrong part. Paid $8.00 more to ship the wrong part back for reimbursement. Meanwhile my son went to a local repair shop and got the right part for less than $40 and the repair shop installed the part on the rack for free
I was not happy with Part Select! Part Select cost me time and money and didnt get the job done

Initial inspection of the issue and research suggested the door latch was malfunctioning / broken. I bought the part and expressed it home. The installation involved removing the door screws on the inside of the door, separating the front and back panels, unplugging the door latch, removing it from its niche and popping in the new one. Reverse the take apart and it was done. Very simple swap. Hardest part was juggling the two halves of the door and preventing the door for trying to close in the process as the bulk of the weight is in the outside half of the door.

The new part did not fix the issue. The door strike was the next part that could be broken / malfunctioning. I ordered that part as well and replaced it. In the process of replacing it I found that the original door strike had been installed upside down. I am guessing it was installed at just the right pitch, or maybe even bent at the manufacturing facility, so that it latched. No idea how it managed two years like that. I installed the new one correctly and the door latches perfectly. Both parts I removed from the unit I will retain if my new parts should fail in the future.

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!

Followed the enclosed direction sheet

I broke it accidentally while trying to get it off and it would either not spin or fall off. I simply removed it out of the box and put it on. 2 turns to the right and I was done!

There was no tools involved the part popped right into place. I received the part within two days from the date placed. It was great.

I took the top dishwasher rack off, then took off the old clip I had taped on. I hadn’t watched the video so I put the new one on by looking at the other side rail and inserted the new part matching the other rail, clicked the new clip on and I was done. it was quite easy for an eighty-one year old woman!! It did take me awhile to figure it out.

Rubber friction sleeves on each side of the door provide resistance to prevent the door from quickly opening when unlatched. Over time the friction sleeve may crack and fail. Two friction sleeves are required for repair. Install a new sleeve on each side of the dishwasher door near the spring connector at the bottom.

Open dishwasher door.

Remove the screw from the left and right bracket at top of dishwasher door opening. Brackets secure the dishwasher to the countertop.

Gently pull the dishwasher forward to expose the door spring on each side of door at bottom.

Unhook the plastic spring connector from the left door spring hook by pulling the connector slightly forward and lifting from the door spring hook. Remove the old friction sleeve if still in place by sliding over the door connection hook. Discard the old sleeve.

Insert the new friction sleeve over the door spring connector hook and push until the friction sleeve is in position completely past the spring hook. Reconnect the plastic spring connector to the door hook.

Repeat for right side of door.

Close and latch the dishwasher door. Unlatch the door. The door should remain in the nearly closed position held in place by the friction sleeves.

Slide the dishwasher back to the original position under the counter top.

Insert the screws in the top brackets to secure the dishwasher.

The video saved me!

Originally I ordered the rack stop clips but realized I needed the whole upper rack repair kit. It entailed pulling off parts and popping new parts on. Very easy and simple.

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