Didn't match other appliances
I unscrewed the screws and slid the panels in. Very easy. I wanted all the appliances to have a stainless steel look.

roller axles had broken releasing wheels
I ordered 8 new axles and used old wheels. I broke off the remaining axle parts left on the wire lower basket with just my hands, and then popped on the new axles. This was done without tools; just needed significant pressure to pop the axles onto the coated wire. The wheels popped onto the axles with a little pressure. Make sure you have the right side of the wheel out. I simply looked at the remaining working wheels before install began to make sure which side goes out. Very easy install.

plastic rollers were disintegrating and top rack would fall off
We have a remote cottage in Canada with a dishwasher over 30 years old. Since you have to get there by boat we didn't want to have to get a whole new dishwasher installed. The plastic rollers from the top shelf had fallen apart and the top rack would fall off all the time. My daughter found your company online and ordered the exact parts for me! I couldn't believe it. For about $20.00 my dishwasher was fixed by my husband in less than a half hour. It was easy to order the parts from you, they were shipped immediately and worked perfectly. Thank you so much for your help with our dishwasher parts. I was laughed out of Lowe's, Home Depot, Sears and H.H. Gregg when I took my old parts there looking for help with replacement parts. I would recommend your company to everyone.

a couple of axles disintegrated so the bottom dish rack wouldn't roll
I took out the bottom rack, turned it upside down, popped off the wheels and saved them and put on the new axles. It took a little doing to get the new axles snapped into place-they were stiff. I finally figured out how to use the pliers at the right angle to pop them on. Then the wheels popped right on and off I went.

Rollers came off my bottom rack due to broken axles.
I ordered all new axles even though not all of them were broken - I figured it was just a matter of time. Ordered one new roller because one was missing, and an extra one just in case. Removed all old rollers and axles. A couple of them did not want to come off, so I "hit" them with a screwdriver. Put on all new axles and replaced the rollers. The whole project took about 10 minutes. SUPER EASY. CHEAP FIX FOR MY OLD DISHWASHER.

Mom died, selling her house. lower rack of dishwasher with only 2 out of 8 wheels
The website had great pictures, I compared the wheels I had and the broken axles with the pictures, and picked what I thought would match. They were perfect. I used pliers to pop the axle on, and my fingers to put on the wheels. It works perfectly now

water delivery tube was rotted and no longer delivered water to the top arm, so top shelf of dishwasher no longer worked
we used hot water to soften the ends of the tube and then slid it onto the two ends of the parts in the dishwasher. It did take a little bit of "push" to get it on one end, but nothing we could not handle. I would say anyone with common sense and willingness to fix something them selves would have no problem. I would like to say the part I ordered was of good quality and saved me a lot of money.
