The wheels broke and came off of the top rack had to replace the top rack adjusting unit
Laid all the parts out after removing the old adjusting units off of the top rack. I figured out how the new parts went together and attached them to the rack and replaced the rack in the dishwasher. The instructions that came with the new adjuster kit were not much help they were hard to understand and the pictures weren’t very good easier to figure it out on my own. Hope this helps

Broken wheels and adjuster
Parts came with instructions however I just searched the part #on you tube and found a video of someone doing the repair. That made it super easy. Took me only about 20 min for the whole job and I am not a very “handy” guy. So glad I didn’t pay someone to come out to do this. Easy repair! In a nutshell you completely remove the old housing and wheel structure and replace it all with the new parts so when taking off the old parts don’t worry about breaking them.

The plastic tabs had broken on 2 of the 4 wheels so they would fall off & the top rack would fall down.
To remove the old parts off the top rack I used a jack knife & a needle nosed plier. The pictures were small in the instructions especially where it showed the small backing plate that held the part that slides up & down. I installed it wrong but I could easily remove it once I pushed in the the tab with a knife blade & then installed it correctly. The updated metal wheels are a big improvement & it works fine now. Huge savings because I did it myself, anyone can do it if you're not in a hurry.

One wheel broke on left side rack adjuster so the rack kept falling out of the guide rail
Found replacement instructions on the Internet and followed them to replace the left side rack adjuster. This was very easy but took the longest since I had never done it before. Right side literally took a fraction of the time since I had already done it once!

The front roller on the right side of the upper rack broke off causing the the rack to tilt down off the track.
The instructions that came with the parts do not tell you how to remove the old adjusters from the rack. I found a video on YouTube ( Appliance Video.com) that takes you step by step on how to remove the old parts and how to install the new ones. The video made the repair easy.

Existing rack adjuster broke and wheels came off.
Dismantled one side of dish rack and rebuilt that side with the new parts and then did the other side. Second side took a lot less time. IT took a while to figure out how to dismantle the old unit as the parts pictures you sent were not too clear in showing the parts.

Poor Directions
Use of black/white pictures made it hard to see part details. Use grayscale insted. Also provide a schematic of the parts involved. The similarity of names made it hard to determine which part was being referred to. used magnifying glass and a lot of trial and error to resolve instalation problems. Second set of rollers went smoother.

Broken wheels on top rack
The instruction included were pretty comprehensive. Also, it is not a difficult fix. Only thing I did different was install the release arm before snapping the upper part on to the rack. Liked the Phillips screw converter included in case someone does not have star bits for the screws. Returned the stop Clips, not needed.

roller wheels on rack broke-- needed replacement / repair
"level of difficulty" and "time to repair" are very tricky. IF I'd have relied on the supposed detailed photos sent with the parts, the "level of difficulty" would have been "impossible" and the "time to repair" would have been "takes forever; still trying to figure it out." However, as another commentator mentioned, there is a Youtube clip from KitchenAid that walks you through it. With that-- "difficulty" became "very easy" and time to repair became "10 minutes". Definitely watch the Youtube clip!!

the roller wheel on the upper rack kept falling off, allowing the rack to fall..dirty dishes
tried to follow the instruction that came with the parts, to no avail? it would have been better to send a note that said good luck. the only part that helped was the part that said remove the old parts. after that is was just a fit and test, fit and test, fit and test, only because of my expert analytical abilities was i able to fit it all together. please draw up better instructions. it fits good and works well.

Just follow the directions.
These are the best set of directions I’ve ever seen for any replacement part on any appliance. Well done .
