Snapped off old plastic wheel units and snapped new one one and finally put it back onto the track

First i turned off the water and the power, then removed the two screws to the access panel under the door. Then remove 1 screw to the electrical box and removed the wire nuts and pulled the cable out of the box. Then disconect the water supply which is up front, but very little room to work. I didn't have to diconnect the drain hose because it was long enough for me to pull out the machine. After removing to screws that hold the machine to the counter you can pull it out. Remove 2 wire from the terminals of the heat coil. Unscrew the plastic nuts from the washer and remove. Assemble in reverse order and check for leaks. I tested the old element as well as the new element for resistance before installing.

1. Open dishwasher door, to access the screws holding dishwasher to cabinet.... remove these screws.
2. May need to shut water off and unscrew water line and waste line (if they aren't long enough because you will need to pull dishwasher out.
3. Unplug electricity
4. Pull dishwasher all the way out... probably need to disconnect the water and waste lines
5. crescent wrench to unscrew the plastic screws in back
6. Disconnect two wires going to element
7. Replace element... reverse steps
8. Not too bad at all
9. Part Select is Awesome !!!!

removed unit from cabinet disconnected water and drain lines replaced heater very easy to do it took more time to remove unit from under counter than replace heater piece of cake..

Removing and installing the new part was fairly simple. We removed the water hose first since it is the easiest to see. We then removed the screw holding the part to the metal frame. We slid out the part out of the holder to remove the black hose and electric plug (it is like the old phone jacks). After it was completely off we plugged in the electric to the new part which was very easy since it can only go in one way. We slid the new part in place and attached the black hose. We attached the piece to the frame with the one screw and last we attached the gold (garden hose) connection. We turned on the water to look for any leaks then turned the power on and ran it through a partial rinse to be sure there were no leaks.

Pulled up old spray arm and snapped new on in place. Took less than a minute and no tools. Dishwasher is like new again.

I manually attached the track stop to the right track in the disheasher.

followed directions, a kid could have done it,

Remove power source, then remove old power cord.Run new power cord through existing opening ang attach to existing power box on bottom o f dishwasher. Install electrical leads and device ground. Reinstall cabinet bottom. Check out operation by running a cycle. All ok!

Popped off the side stay on the rack, slid the new part on the rack and snapped it into position. Replaced the side stay on teh runner. Done!

The repair was very, very easy. The only tool I used were my fingers. Took me about 2 minutes. Would have been less but I forgot to remove the broken wheel before installing the new one so I had to repeat the process. This hardest part was removing the end piece from the rail. If you look closely there is a little tab that needs to be pushed forward to remove the end piece. Once that is done it's very easy. I'm sure I saved $100 vs calling a repair person. I actually purchased 2 replacement parts in anticipation of another one breaking.

I followed installation instructions from this site and all went well.

Took out racks. And releaseed bar. Released set screws and gentley pulled out unit to expose 5/16th nuts. Removed nuts and cleaned area. Used old gaskets as the new part did not come with the gaskets, Screwed in nuts. Reset bar and set rack on carriers.

1. Moved dishrack and tracks outward then moved just the dish rack only in. 2. Using screw driver, pushed plastic tongue on end cap at track and lifted off the end cap. Repeated procedure on second track on opposite side of dish rack. 3. With end caps removed, pull dish rack out and place on table. 4. Examine each track and remove any pieces of broken wheel mounts. 5. Install new wheel mount on opposite side of dish rack from good wheel mounts. 6. Slide dish rack back in place with all four wheel mounts inserted in the two tracks. 7. Reinstall the end caps on the tracks and the fix is done.

The hardest part was squeezing the tab at the end of the track to pull it up and out so that the old wheel part could be slid out and the new one in. Fortunately, the track is open on the side facing the interior of the dishwasher so you can see what you're doing. Once that was done, it was simple to snap the new part into place, slide the wheel into the track, and replace the tab at the end.
