66514043K010 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

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.

Great fit. take out old one and drop in new one. Piece of Cake.

The video saved me!

Turned off water supply to the unit. Removed plastic cover at bottom front. I only had to disconnect the copper water line to slide the unit about 1/3 of the way out. I then was able to reach the wires, disconnect them and use a stubby box/open end wrench (5/8? don't remember for sure) to remove the plastic nuts. I then opened the door, removed the bottom basket and slipped the element right out. Installation of new part was reverse.

First remove the front kick panel by removing 2 philips screws. Turn off the water supply, and then disconnect the supply line if not of the flexible kind. Mine was copper. Remove 2 screws holding dishwasher to counter top and pull machine out. Open door and attach replacement link by hooking the plastic end to the hinge hook on the door side and then place the string portion round the plastic pulleys and then attach the other end of the link to the end of the spring attached to the rear of the machine along the bottom side. Push dishwasher back into position, reattach supply line and re-install both screws attaching the machine to the counter top. Turn on the water supply and check for leaks. Place the kick plate into postion and secure using the 2 philips screws that were removed.

Followed the enclosed direction sheet

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

Attached new link, then stretched the spring with pliers and routed link over the pulley. Replaced both links.
