Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Dishwasher Upper Rack Adjuster (Part Number: OEM18068448)

1 Answer

Hello Dmeggs, There should be either a couple of plastic clips that will need to be released or a couple of screws holding the part in place. This is determined by the particular model configuration you have. For more detailed instructions, we would need to ask you to please post a new question that includes the model number from your units' I.D. tag. Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

Balendran, We are not aware of any changes in the dimensions or attachment points of the rack adjuster assembly or installation problems. In most cases it takes about 10 minutes from start to finish to replace the adjuster. Using a screwdriver or needle nose pliers to separate the tines slightly, to allow for an easier install and proper alignment of the rack and adjuster is advantageous for the repair. Thanks,

Hello Pete. 1. To gain access to the removable tabs on the tracks/rails, pull the upper rack forward about halfway out of the tub. 2. On one side, press the tab on the track in and pull up the front end of the rack out of the track. 3. Then repeat this step on the other side to completely remove the front end of the rack. 4. Then remove the back end of the rack, by pulling the back end out with a slightly forward, and then upward motion. Then unsnap the adjuster from the rack.

Vedrana for Model Number MDB8959BSBO

I need to replace an Upper Rack Adjuster for Maytag model MDB8959BSBO. On the broken part I have at home there are three different part numbers W10354718. W10418314, W10306646. Which one of these is the right one? Is there a difference between left and right side (doesn't look like there is to me but under one of the parts it specifically says for right side)? In case there is a difference it is the left side when I am standing facing the dishwasher. Thank you

Hello Vedrana, The upper rack adjuster is part number WPW10546503. This is if the model number is actually MDB8959SBS0, (the one provided does not come up as a valid model number).
