Whirlpool W10712394 Adjuster Kit OEM Part

I replaced the adjusters on both sides (since two rollers broke off on one and one broke off on the other). Replacement was easy, just remember to keep the clips from the original adjusters. Take the clips off, remove the adjuster, replace with the new adjuster, and replace the clips. The new adjuster comes with the rollers already attached so no need to keep the ones from when plastic axle broke on the original adjusters.

Found a tutorial on line. Apparently this is a fairly common problem with these machines.

I have ordered from Appliance part pros before for several repairs. I had the dishwasher model number and I opened the web site and looked up part on schematic of the dishwasher.The part was delivered in several days. The proper part was delivered and installed by me. works great.

I used Part #AP5956100 which is the same as Whirlpool/Kitchenaid W10712394. The nice thing about this kit is that it comes with two adjuster arm sets so that you can repair both sides. (If the wheels on the other side haven't broken off yet, they soon will). Also, the piece that connects the wheel to the arm is now metal and should last longer than the previous plastic. The kit comes with an instruction sheet which is fairly easy to follow. The only problem with it is that it doesn't tell you how to remove the old adjuster arms. You can see how to do that part by watching YouTube Videos by Handymom808 and/or Mike Senn. (Search for KitchenAid Upper Rack Repair.) Note that in these videos they are only replacing the bottom adjuster arm with the wheels (W10350376). The new kit comes with the Housing Assembly (top part) as well. It can be easily removed by poking out the upper tabs with a small flathead screwdriver like Handymom808 uses. That opens up the upper part of the housing like a clam shell and then you can pull the housing apart. Just follow the instruction sheet to install the new adjuster arms and housings. I should add that the part kit from AppliancePartsPros arrived very quickly, in about 2 days!

I pulled out the owners manual & started searching for the part. Found that the particular part I needed was not available any more. That was one site. I did some more searching, knowing that most of the dishwashers were made by Whirlpool. When I got on Appliance Pros web site, I found the part. By the way, this slide & adjustment for the rack is metal & not plastic. Once I had the simple tools ready it took but minutes to replace. It is now functioning beautifully. Tools needed for the installation was a flat head screwdriver to remove the old part & a Phillips head to install.
