66513292K113 Kenmore Dishwasher - Instructions

The repair was easy: just remove old assembly and replace with new one which was slightly different. The included directions were very poorly printed and practically useless so if you are not somewhat mechanically inclined it would be almost impossible to install just using the instructions provided

1) Pull out dishwasher from under counter. 2) Disconnect spring located at the bottom on each side of dishwasher. 3) Using socket remove pulley wheels from each side at bottom. 4) Install new pulleys on each side. 5) Wind pulley cord around both wheels and attach to one end of the spring on each side. 6) Using pliers extend other spring end to lower frame of dishwasher on each side. 7) Open and close dishwasher door to test. 8) Replacement complete

I ordered part PS10064063, metal left and right rack adjusters that should be more durable than the plastic parts that broke. To install, I watched this YouTube video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otUn8eoceBw), pausing and rewinding as needed. Piece of cake! FYI, when the axle broke, the small little plastic prongs stopped the grinder, which caused the dishwasher not to cycle. Fortunately, that was repaired under extended warranty, but the rack wheel was not covered. The repairman said the grinder (in most dishwashers these days) is a very delicate blade. They can't really grind much - even tiny plastic pieces.

The new part has been modified so I was not replacing with "like" parts and with the photos being not very clear, it took a bit longer to figure out what went where. Also it took a little time to figure out how the old adjuster came apart but it really didn't matter if I broke it, it was broken already.

Laid all the parts out after removing the old adjusting units off of the top rack. I figured out how the new parts went together and attached them to the rack and replaced the rack in the dishwasher. The instructions that came with the new adjuster kit were not much help they were hard to understand and the pictures weren’t very good easier to figure it out on my own. Hope this helps

Parts came with instructions however I just searched the part #on you tube and found a video of someone doing the repair. That made it super easy. Took me only about 20 min for the whole job and I am not a very “handy” guy. So glad I didn’t pay someone to come out to do this. Easy repair! In a nutshell you completely remove the old housing and wheel structure and replace it all with the new parts so when taking off the old parts don’t worry about breaking them.

Watch video and followed instructions. Very easy!

Followed the video and it went almost perfect. Had to step back at first and reposition the initial step and then it went quickly. Used a star screwdriver rather than the adapter piece sent with.

The manual that came along was confusing and was bit frustrating. I did not know how to remove the old parts. Then I viewed the video on YouTube. It was a lifesaver. I would recommend to viewers this video and it was like a piece of cake It took not more than 15 minutes including watching the video.

One side at a time. Removal a bit difficult, but first side took longer. Second side was a cinch. It would be nice if they had better pictures, but it was a fairly straightforward repair. Nice to have it done and working again

Ordering the part was very easy. It shipped fast and delivered over 3 days. It fit perfectly

Originally I ordered the rack stop clips but realized I needed the whole upper rack repair kit. It entailed pulling off parts and popping new parts on. Very easy and simple.

The kit number PS10064063 has much improved stainless steel framework. It's apparent the manufacturer recognized the deficiency of the original design. The instructions are adequate but the minimal essential to do the job. The images on the instruction sheet are low quality. Removal of the old parts isn't well instructed. Removal of the clips holding the failed roller mechanism was obvious, but the only way I could see to remove the adjuster was to pry it apart with a flat head screw driver. The Philips-to-hex head adaptor for installing the only two screws for each side that are needed in the new parts is a nice touch, so it isn't necessary to buy a hex screw driver. All in all a very satisfactory conclusion, since the extended warrantee service had declared the model to be unrepairable. The repair kit at reasonable price avoided the problems of having to remove and replace the dishwasher which otherwise is very satisfactory

The kit didn't come with instructions, so I found the following YouTube video

Got all the parts but no installation instructions. Saw the comment about youtube,, reviewed that and everything when together great.
