Whirlpool WP8270019 Dishwasher Upper Dishrack Roller OEM Part

Slide diswasher out to reach the two screws that hold rollers. Reverse prcess, all done.

My dishwasher has long fill and drain lines so there was no need to disconnect them. Pulled the dishwasher out about half way, removed the end cap to the upper tray; removed the two bolts holding the wheel assembly to the dishwaster tub; slid the broken assembly out and new assembly in; tightened down the two bolts; slid the dishwasher back into place and it was all over in under 15 minutes. The hardest part of this job was removing the end caps from the rail.

The appliance parts pros showed me how to replace the roller bracket. The video they provided was especially useful in doing a very tricky job. I could not have done the job had it not been for the video.

Followed the video on appliancepartspros.com. Pulled the dishwasher out from the cabinet, unscrewed the bolts holding the tub wheel on from the outside, swapped the gaskets to the new part from the old and reassembled. Dead simple!

Removed the top and bottom racks, then side plugs to remove side brace screws. Removed the bottom cover and insulation to raise the height adjusters. Then pulled the dishwasher out far enough to access the hex head screws holding the Mount Assembly on. I used the old gaskets after cleaning them and the slot for the part, then attached the new Mount Assembly, tightened it and replaced slide arms, racks, and tested the top rack for movement. Removing the slide arms was a little tricky and getting them to snap back in correctly. After sliding the dishwasher back in I readjusted the height adjusters, made sure the dishwasher door opened and closed then replaced the side brace screws (a little challenging), insulation and bottom cover after cleaning. Final step was to check for leaks.
