Took a bit of interpretation to figure out how the piece fit together. Not same as the original. Once i decoded the system, the second side took less than 10 minutes. Fits and works fine.

removed old basket adjuster -installed wheel assemble-installed clips to hold wheel assemble installed adjuster on basket installed final adjuster part with screws supplied--instruction photos not clear and to small -first side took about an hour-the second side took ten minutes -parts work great-anyone with common sense can do the repair

Removed broken adjuster by prying open latch tabs. Assembled replacement per instructions. Had to test fit parts due to poor illustrations, compared to other adjuster for correct installation. 2nd side went much quicker

I read through the instructions which actually took longer than actually doing the repair because some of the pictures were a little dark and it wasn't clear exactly which direction the parts were facing. The repair went exactly as the directions said.

took top rack out and put pieces in

Followed directions supplied with part. Direction pictures were dark and hard to see details. Hex adaptor for screwdriver was too hard to use because made of plastic. Used my own hex wrench, which gave more leverage to drive screws into plastic pieces.

Removed the old broken pieces, and installed the new awesome Stainless steel replacements as directed in the supplied instructions . Inserted the 4 supplied screws and gently tightened them. New parts have been redesigned and are MUCH sturdier than the old plastic parts. Some simple assembly is required.

Followed the installation instructions. Photos on installation instructions were not very easy to see, but instructions were good.

Remove old adjusters, just break them off if necessary since they will be replaced. Then followed the instructions that came with the new kit. They were very good. Took my time on the first side, reading each step in instruction sheet. Second side went much faster, almost didn't need the instruction sheer.

Followed retro fit instructions, it went great !

Instructions to replace the rack adjuster as follows:

(1) Slide the top tray out of the dish washer by turning the blue clips/stop (right side toward the right and left side toward the left) and place the top tray on a working surface.
(2) slide the part #12 (positioner) and #11 (adjuster clip) upward until it come out of the defect side of rack adjuster and push #9 (clip) out (from the outside) of the top rack. Keep all three parts, you will need them to put the new rack adjuster back.
(3) take the cover out of the housing (the box part you can adjust the height of the top rack, part #8 and 10 in the drawing)) by using a flat head screw driver to open the cover (there are two stubs on the bottom of the cover that you will need to pop it open).
(4) take the defect rack adjuster out and place the new one in.
(5) put the cover back to the housing and make sure when you press the blue handle down the rack adjuster can slide up and down.
(6) put $12, #11, #9 back , slide the top tray back to the dish washer, and close the blue clip/stop on both side.

I gave the upper rack and parts to my husband. He gently pried the old one off and clipped the new back on. The hardest part was being gentle enough not to break anything more.

replaced rack adjuster by removing rack from the dishwasher and then prying the old adjust off and replacing with the new.

Parts ordered were a perfect match. Rack wheels on this model with a self adjusting rack cannot be replace individually. Therefore you need to order the self adjusting unit. First note how the self adjusted in attached to the rack wires. Remove the lower clips that have a sliding slot. Then find the "U" shaped clip on the inside of the rack, this is in the middle of the self adjuster and somewhat difficult to locate. Once these are removed the self adjuster will only be held in place by the adjusting handle attached to the rack. At this point find the two push pins holding the self adjuster together. these are located at the bottom and need to be pushed in, care not to break. Releasing the two pins will allow you to partially separate the self adjuster so that the old unit can be removed and the ordered unit can be installed. Reverse process for installation. Note if self adjuster is not working, you have miss aligned the handle with the replacement part.

I had to figure it out. No instructions are given with parts.
