WDF111PABW2 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

Our dishwasher's top rack would pull too far out which made it hard to stay in alignment. It had lost it's track stop. I easily ordered the part from PartSelect, and it came more quickly than I expected; I clicked it in place and it runs like new. It's wonderful to deal with a company that knows the frustration of not having your appliance in good working orfer.
Thank you.

Very simple to repair The front track stops just slide into place, easy. When I looked for these parts this place was the least expensive and the quickest delivery I have ever had. Quick, efficient and friendly online staffing. Thank you, Deb

I just snapped the old one off and snapped the new one on..

I used a flat blade screwdriver to compress one arm of the endcap of the slide rail to free it. I then slid up the locking slide of the old roller assembly freeing it from the upper basket,and put the new part in its place. I then put the roller back in the slide rail and replaced the endcap.

The video does a great job explaining the repair. I took the unit completely away from the wall and put it on its side, which I recommend. Only problem I had was getting the new part in the correct orientation to lock... try to pay attention to how the failed pump is facing when you remove it.

I ended up replacing the supply line as well as just moving it around caused a drip leak, guess it was about to fail. Pro tip: don't remove the old line until you have the new line in hand... but that's a story for another day.

In all honesty, it took me longer to remove the dishwasher than it did to install the new drain pump.
Pull the plug to kill the power, turn the water supply valve to off and disconnect the water supply hose.
Disconnect the drain hose and drain the water from it into a small tub.
Remove the two "anti-tilt" screws from the top of the D-washer
Remove the two screws holding the "toe kick" plate in place, remove the plate and place of to the side.
If needed, raise the front feet/legs, slide the D-washer out until you can reach the back legs, raise if needed, and side the washer the rest of the way out.
Lay out a towel on the floor, lay the washer on it back. You will see the discharge pump (the one with the big hose coming out of it), remove the hose clamp and hose from the pump.
Disconnect the little power plug from the pump
On the opposite side of the little plug is a gray little plastic tab, squeeze it and rotate the pump counterclockwise about an inch, the pump should fall out in your hand.
Take the new pump, rub a little dish soap (not that crappy hand cleaner stuff) on the rubber gasket and install the new pump making sure the little plug receptacle is facing you and rotate it until it stops, you should hear a small "click"
Now follow all the steps in reverse to put everything back together.
This site has a great, short video that covers everything I have mentioned above.

TOOK OFF RACK ROLLERS ON OLD TOP RACK AND BOTTOM RACKS ALONG WITH TOP WASH SPRAYER AND PARTS AND PUT ON NEW BASKETS.
PIECE OF CAKE!

My dishwasher wasn't completing cycles and would start to smell like burning plastic randomly. I determined it wasn't coming from inside the tub but underneath the unit. I replaced the drain pump and the drain hose as a precaution to make sure the check valve inside wasn't getting stuck closed forcing the pump to not be able to drain. It was a very easy repair that just involved taking the dishwasher out of the cabinet and turning it on its side. The old pump just twists out and the new one goes in just as easy no tools required. The video instructions on the product page here were very helpful. The hose connects with a clamp and is routed on the side with some plastic clips. It was very easy and completely solved the problem!

Unscrew top filter, pry off bottom filter, replace with two new filters

Watched YouTube first of course. Pulled off the old gasket, found the center of the new gasket and started installing the gasket from the very top and all the way down the sides. I made sure it was in tightly and smooth. No more leak, should have listened to my wife sooner!

Pulled out old gasket, pressed in new starting middle top. No more leak.

Followed very simple instructions to easily install. The only tool needed was a flathead scredriver to pop off caps to remove old, broken rollers. New rollers simply click into place. Piease aren't cheap, but significantly less than a new dishwasher.

New one snapped right into place.

The dishwasher is 25 years old. Ordering the part was simple. Very good web site and user friendly. The shipment and delivery perfect. Part arrived as predicted. Tracking delivery was also perfect. Part was exactly what I needed. The only hitch was that there were no instructions for assembly, not even a drawing of the assembly to give a hint as how to assemble. Therefiore assembly took longer than it should have. However the diswasher is back in operation and I am pleased with the results.

As stated above the repair did not go well because the gasket was too wide and the door would close. Suggest you talk with Whirlpool about the part they sold you for my model of dishwasher.
