Whirlpool WPW10251051 Adjuster OEM Part

I removed the basket, studied the old adjusters before removing them, and installed the new ones using some of the old parts(adjustment levers and the covers). adjusters work like a charm.. the only tool required was a screwdriver with removable torque bit.

Checked the Maytag parts list and found the best value for my money was AppliancePartsPros.com. Ordered them and received the parts faster than expected. One torx wrench and 15 minutrs later my dishwasher was ready for battle again.

Upon investigation I found cracks in the carriage adjusters. Ordered both sides. Discovered the Maytag dishwasher uses Whirlpool parts. So ordered complete new factory replacements. My biggest problem was thinking it would be a complicated repair and that the online videos didn't quite match my unit which came into play right away when removing the rack from the appliance. Being an essentially snap out-snap in (only 3 small star drive screws to remove and reuse). SO.. 1. snap off the roller stops. 2. Pull out the rack. 3. Turn over the rack so the bottom is up. 4. Remove the 3 screws on one side. snap off the cover. 5. Snap out the old carriage. Replace and reverse the procedure. The roller stop caps were made so the part is not side specific. That's it in a nutshell. Really is simple as long as you look at it that way.

Replaced the adjuster arms.

Ordered Parts from AoplicancePartsPros.com and received them within 2 days. Installed parts and everything works great now. I was pleasantly surprised that the end clips are a different type than was originally installed and are much better. Needed a star tool or bit to remove the screws, would have gave 5 stars if they included the star tip wrench that was need to install the part.
