You must install Torx drivers before you can use this device. It seems like this part is very similar to the Whirlpool OEM part with Because of the packaging and because the official Whirlpool video demonstrates that their kit comes with a screwdriver to Torx adapter, I know this is not the same. Nowadays, if you do any appliance repair around the house, you need a complete assortment of Phillips ("cross point") and Torx ("star point") driver heads, so you may already have one. I cannot recall which Torx number you need, but it's a common one, and one that can easily be purchased at any auto parts store or tool In terms of the thick plastic used here, it is very similar to the original, and it may be a big improvement over the weak roller shafts, flimsy adjusters, and usable side rails of the part that came with In order to keep their field service technicians employed, I assume they have to keep making the weak original part and installing it in new dishwashers. Most likely, they simply want the cheaper, flimsier ones to last longer so they don't have to replace them before the warranty expires. Please be aware, if you were like me and your dishwasher top rack wheel broke off after a few months after installation, you CAN contact Whirlpool and they will send out a replacement part to you Although it takes awhile for that to happen, Amazon had the item in my hand before Whirlpool even replied. That's what you need to keep It is also important to realize that if you do not have the warranty and you buy the official Whirlpool part you will pay more than what this costs. When I looked, the price was about nineteen bucks higher. Installing it isn't that easy you need to know a few tricks. It is recommended that you watch a couple of different videos before tackling the project since the official Whirlpool video skips a few important steps. It is possible to find several videos on YouTube if you search for the part number. Although I did not find it difficult to install, I certainly did not find it intuitive. In less than half an hour, after watching about forty-five minutes of videos, I had the old one off and the new one on. That's a good thing I still didn't have to charge for my time! Oh, and the only thing I have to quibble with is that the stamped metal was barely buffed so you probably don't want to take any risks with it. The edges of the bowl are not in the way of where you're going to grab them so there's no chance of a problem once it is installed in the dishwasher.
The installation process is simple. Several reviews mentioned that this kit was cheap, so I took a chance after reading so many negative reviews about the dozens of similar-looking kits from so many different manufacturers. A very low number of relevant negative reviews were posted on this one (mostly associated with orders of the wrong product or instructions being difficult to follow). It is usually better to stick with OEM parts but my dishwasher was unusable and this part could be picked up on Monday. The experience was free from regret. As a result of this upgrade, this kit is significantly more durable. The old system was easily removed and the new one installed. I completed both sides of the project in about 20 minutes using the photo instructions. I can see how step-by-step instructions are helpful to the less mechanically inclined, but paying attention to the photos reveals how the parts are oriented and where they are located. Having used the dishwasher now for a month, I would like to tell you how it works. The rollers on this dishwasher are smoother, and the rack is more stable than when it first appeared.
In the meantime, I noticed when I opened the box that a broken piece of plastic was inside it that was part of one of the handles needed Although I'm not the happiest with this, I can still use the rack without that piece while waiting for amazon to send a replacement, which is a much better situation than While the instructions are terse in their format, they present a bit of a challenge as they are so short. However, watching the video, I realized that they are quite helpful. Having to remove the old one had been so difficult, I didn't understand how this new one could be so easy. It is true, however. This cannot be installed if you do not have a #15 torx.
In less than an hour, I got it up and running, but the instructions are stupid. It seems to be a great product, however! I could not figure out how to thread the metal part through the cage. In the end, I had two extra things the ends of the extender arms in the dishwasher. When installing the basket, I discovered that they were the end caps to the extender arms. It was a pleasant surprise. I am optimistic these will last longer than the original parts. They seem much stronger than the originals. In addition to this, you may also be in need of the bottom "basket rollers. " In addition to plastic wheels, they have plastic hubs (make sure to get the "upgraded metal" hubs). I blame the whirlpool for everything falling apart at the same time.
In spite of the fact that they are not shown in the product photo, the rail end caps are included. It is not necessary to order them individually. Kit itself is of a very high quality. Assembling the parts was simple and all parts fitted as they should. Check out the YouTube videos to learn how to install this upgraded roller kit since there are several available. A few of the video tutorials refer to the included instructions and Torx to Phillips adapter in some kits, but none of those are included with the kit. There will definitely be a need for.
The T15 Star screwdriver tip was also prepurchased from another review based on a video of Li Fan on YouTube. You will also need a flathead screwdriver, gloves, and a flathead screwdriver if you are not an expert. Metal pieces are flying when you take off the old ones due to its sharpness. It is a great feeling. In my case, the dishwasher broke on a Thursday, and was fixed a week later. Compared to the old pieces, the new ones feel stronger.
