Axles on lower rack broken
Very, very simple. The axles are nylon plastic and snap into the plastic-coated metal grid that forms the lower dishwasher rack. Over time they get brittle and break.
Replacement consists of snapping the old axle out of the rack and snapping the new one in. I replaced some of the wheels at the same time, as we had lost them. The wheels don't seem to wear out, so if you did this repair in time, you could re-use the wheels.
These little axles are EXPENSIVE ($3.50 each!), but for $30 you can replace all eight of them, and your dishwasher rack will work like new again!

Tube to the top rack that supplies water
The tube had holes from being used but the dishwasher still works great. I researched this part and it was a great price and really easy to fix. The picture looks different than what the tube looks like in the dishwasher but it is correct. Definitely put soap on the ends to help glide it on. Took me 2 minutes to fix.

The rubber hose running to the upper shelf discharge fan rotted out.
It was 94 degrees that day so I set the rubber hose outside in the sun to loosen it up, make it more plyable. I then mixed up some soapy water and doused the ends of the hose with the soapy water and slid the hose right onto the fittings.
There was a small hole in the hose which was not discussed in the directions. I assumed the hole should be installed on the down side to let water drain out after the dishwasher is finished. This will reduce the chance of bacteria building in the hose.
I read the installation tips before I started and picked up the soap mix and heating up the hose before installation. Can be accomplished with a hair dryer if it is not 94+ degrees outside!!!
Thanks,
Jim

A roller came off the bottom washer tray in the dishwasher because of broken axle
I removed the broken axle with the help of a small screwdriver and replaced it with a new one. Then I installed a new roller, which was easy because all I had to do was push it on with my fingers.
One of the easiest repairs I've ever made on anything and now I'm happy because my wife is happy!

Part leaked due to a crack. & top rack dishes not being cleaned properly
Removed the old part. It came out with no problem
due to being brittle and cracked. This part was original to my 15 1/2 year old dishwasher.
Ran hot tap water in the sink and soaked the new "Rubber Water Delivery Tube" for about 5 min. I put a little dish washing liquid on dishwasher part where tube was to be slid onto. Including the soaking time,repair took less than 5 1/2 min.
I'm very pleased by the fact that my part arrived in a little over 1 1/2 days.

Tube was worn out. Burned out really.
Was lucky the part was available. I put liquid detergent on both ends of tube, then slid each end onto each sleeve. Works great now!

The old rubber water delivery tube was cracked and leaking.
I removed the old tube. I rubbed vegetable oil on the inside of both ends. The new tube slipped on with no
problem, and that was the end of the repair.

Water hose would fall off
I had repaired the hose with duck tape several times, and finally was able to convince my husband to look up the model number etc. went on line to see if I could locate a dealer to get the hose, and that was so easy,
Ordered it, it came in 2 days, and my dishwasher works great again.
It was so easy just took off the old hose and snapped in the new one.

Loose rollers/wheels on lower dishwasher tray
For several years I endured difficulty in pushing in and pulling out a fully loaded lower dishwasher tray in my KitchenAid Superba dishwasher. The tray would "fall out" out of its "track" and jam requiring me to lift up the whole tray to try to pull it out. Then one of the plastic roller "axles" broke and its wheel fell off. So I went on to Part Select's website to find a replacement. When I got it in the mail I replaced the one that broke. I noticed how much more rigid the wheel then ran on its "track." So I replaced all the roller axles and, lo and behold, the lower tray does not jam anymore. It rolls just like new! I am very satisfied. Chris from Bay Ridge, Brooklyn

Rubber water tube that delivers water to the upper rack had a large hole.
Took the tube off and noted that there was a factory drilled hole on the underside that lets water drain. I slipped the new tube over the inlet port and the other end over the rotating washing arm aparatus port and everything worked fine. Very easy and fast repair.
