Hello Peter, This fitting is called a John Guess fitting. John Guess Fitting Procedure: To remove: Push line in and hold ring in, then, while holding ring in, pull line out. To re-install, push line in until resistance is met. Push harder until line "pops" in another 1/4 inch or so. Pull on line without touching the ring to seat seal.

John D. for Model Number MDB7749SBM02

We recently bought Whirlpool dishwasher, model MDB7749SBM02. We wrongly assumed that the upper rack is adjustable, but it is not. Is there a part I can buy to make the top rack adjustable so that the water can be kept from standing as much on the glasses and mugs in the upper rack? (I realize that this unit comes with only one adjuster wheel on two sides of the upper rack, but I believe other Whirlpool models come with two adjuster wheels. I am thinking that if I could buy one of those I could keep one on one side at its original height, but put the one on the other side at another height. Does this make sense, and would this be possible? If not, do you please have any other suggestions that might help?

Hello John, Unfortunately, the racks on this model are not adjustable and there are no modifications listed that would make them adjustable.

John, the upper dishrack WPW10243301 is a manufacturer replacement supplied from Maytag for your model MDB8750AWB. If this rack does not fit you'll need dishrack part number W10352719 which contains the wheels and a rack adjuster to adjust the rack. Thanks!

Jim, we do not have the specs available to verify the exact color. However, using the images found online the upper dishrack WPW10243301 looks to be a light grey. According to your model number given this is the correct replacement and will work on your unit. Thanks!
