Questions & Answers

For Whirlpool Dishwasher Adjuster Positioner (Part Number: OEM18050409)

1 Answer

Hello Megan, Since there are no illustrations of the part in its' installed position, you will just have to look at the pieces you need in the rack and try to figure out what hooks onto these positioners. From there, check in the rack with the part to see where these will fasten to the rack. The four small square tabs are retainers that clip to the metal rack between the wire of the frame.

Jeff, the adjuster assembly part number W10712394 includes the white rollers. There are two small clips on the adjuster that the rollers clip too. Hope this helps. Thanks.

James D for Model Number KUDE20FXSS4

I replaced height adjuster assembly (W10350376). I only have one positioner (W10195840 ) and one adjuster (W10195839 ) total. I know that can't be right since it means the assembly is not supported on both ends. The diagram shows two positioners and two adjusters per side. I can't figure out how two per end could possibly attach. Can you confirm that I need one positioner and one adjuster per side? If so, which goes on the front vs. the rear?

1 Answer

James, The unit does call for 2 positioners on each side and will attach at the end of the adjuster.
