Repairing Kitchen Aid Dishwasher

On Thursday, November 5, 2020, the upper rack of my KitchenAid Dishwasher KUDS35FXSS2 broke. The wheels on the upper rack fell off. After I removed the rack, I noticed that the tabs that hold the wheels in place had broken off.

Using Repair Clinic, I was able to find replacement (S-Union) parts on Amazon for $23.99

4. W10253546 (W10712394) - Adjuster
5. W10195839 (WPW10195839) - Adjuster
6. W10195840 (WPW10195840)- Positioner

I also inquired locally about the cost to replace parts by a service technician (Kyle from ASE Appliance Tech in Los Gatos), who quoted me $180.00

On Saturday, November 6, I received the parts from Amazon and proceeded to install them. It took me about 30 minutes, and I watched the video below to help me understand the whole process.




After some fiddling, I was able to remove (5) and (6) by watching the following YouTube video:


It took some trial and error to replace all the parts.

The basic instructions to remove the broken Adjuster (4):
  1. Remove (5) Adjuster by pushing it in
  2. Remove (6) the adjuster by sliding it
  3. Push the clip inside (4) using a flat screwdriver
  4. Pop the cover (9) from (2) using a flat screwdriver
