DU9000XR2 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

Popped the old ones off and replaced them with the new set. No tools needed. Just clipped the new ones on.

Reassembled lower access covers using the new screws purchased from parts direct, perfect fit replacement. Hardest part remembering how they fit Dishwasher.

Kit didn't have the center conical piece. Easy to switch tho. I am impressed at the speed of which the part arrived.

I pulled the basket out, pulled the cap and connector assembly off with ease, no tools needed, it comes right up, and put the new one on. Put the basket back in and it works great now!

Unplug Dryer. Remove two screws from front panel of dryer on lower left and right. Dryer front will swing out and up to release the hinges at the top of front panel. Set panel aside to the left and remove wires from switch at inner top left of panel (if necessary). There are 3 thermostats in this dryer. Two are set together at lower left and one is on lower right and sits back a little. This Cycling Thermostat is one of the two (on the lower left) and in my dryer, was the one on the right of these two. Check to make sure the numbers (and wire colors) on the replacement match with the thermostat being replaced, because it could be different from mine (Maytag couldn't tell me the difference). Remove the 3 wires from the thermostat with needle nose pliers and then use a 1/4" deep socket to unscrew the thermostat. Replace in reverse order.

I replaced the seals per the video instructions.

the plastic pin that retains the spring has a head on one end that hits a plastic stop on the door to keep it from coming out. I used a small grinder and made a flat spot on the head diameter to make it easy to slide out. This is easier than trying to pry the door off the pin at the two retaing snaps. I was conderned these pin retainer clips were brittle and would break off.
Once the pin is slid out, it is a matter to hold the new spring holes in line with the pin. rotate pin so flat side you ground is turned up, so pin will not move out that way. Tiij about an hour

Simply snapped out the old ones and snapped in the new ones. Worked like a charm. Glad you had the parts.

watched a video

Looked at existing assembly and snapped on new one, duplicating existing installation.

I called to order two springs and your salespersons were very helpful. The two springs were sent immediately. my husband pulled out our under-the-counter dishwasher and replaced both springs within 30 minutes

Swapped out the old upper dish rack with a new one. A video made the change simple.

Snapped in new part

The rack came with pictorial instructions which were fairly veg, however they were to the point. The wheels snapped into place easily, and the center water transfer tube twisted off the old one and twisted on the new one just fine. It is a very good idea to keep the old one out to look at as a guide. There were no instructions on how to remove the transfer tube, I was lucky to have already worked on these before. After that it fits and works just peachy.

This problem was making me NUTS! Every time I pulled the lower rack out, the rack would go off the track, threatening to break every dish, and I would literally have to half-carry the rack to move it in and out. VERY frustrating. No money for a new dishwasher, didn't want to pay for a whole new lower rack ($100). Then I discovered I could simply replace the wheel assemblies for less than $30 and no toold required. Yee-hah! It was literally a SNAP!
