Installation Guide

Safety First: Before beginning any installation, ensure your dishwasher is unplugged from the power outlet and the water supply is turned off. Wear appropriate safety gear, such as gloves, if necessary.

Replacing the W10350376 Top Rack Adjuster

1. Remove the Upper Dishrack: Carefully pull the upper dishrack out of the dishwasher tub. It may be necessary to remove the rack stops at the end of the rails to fully detach the rack.
2. Detach Old Adjuster: Locate the existing top rack adjuster mechanism. Depending on your specific dishwasher model, this may involve releasing clips or unscrewing fasteners that hold the old adjuster to the rack. Note how the old one is attached for reassembly.

3. Install New Adjuster: Align the new W10350376 Top Rack Adjuster with the mounting points on the upper dishrack. Secure it in place using the appropriate clips or screws. Ensure it is firmly attached and does not wobble.

4. Reinstall Upper Dishrack: Slide the upper dishrack back onto the rails inside the dishwasher. Reattach any rack stops that were removed. Test the adjuster mechanism to ensure the rack moves smoothly up and down and locks securely into position.

Replacing the W10195416 Lower Dishwasher Wheel

1. Remove Lower Dishrack: Pull the lower dishrack completely out of the dishwasher.
2. Remove Old Wheel: The W10195416 lower dishwasher wheel typically snaps onto an axle or peg on the dishrack. Gently pry off the old, damaged wheel.

3. Install New Wheel: Align the new W10195416 wheel with the axle or peg on the dishrack and firmly push it into place until it snaps securely. Ensure it rotates freely.
4. Reinstall Lower Dishrack: Slide the lower dishrack back into the dishwasher. Test its movement to ensure it rolls smoothly and does not bind.

Once both parts are installed, reconnect the dishwasher to power and water supply. Run a test cycle to confirm proper operation.

Operation

The W10350376 Top Rack Adjuster allows you to easily raise or lower the upper dishrack to accommodate taller items on either the top or bottom rack. To adjust, typically locate the levers or buttons on either side of the upper rack and press/lift them simultaneously while moving the rack to the desired height. Release the levers/buttons to lock the rack in place.

The W10195416 Lower Dishwasher Wheels ensure the lower dishrack glides smoothly in and out of the dishwasher, facilitating easy loading and unloading of dishes. No specific user operation is required for the wheels beyond ensuring they are clean and free of debris.

Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and continued smooth operation of your replacement parts, consider the following maintenance tips:

• Regular Cleaning: Periodically inspect the rack adjusters and wheels for food debris, grease, or mineral deposits. Clean with a soft cloth and mild dish soap if necessary.
• Avoid Overloading: Do not overload the dishwasher racks, as excessive weight can put undue stress on the adjusters and wheels, leading to premature wear.
• Check for Obstructions: Ensure no utensils or small items fall into the rack tracks or interfere with the wheels' movement.
• Gentle Handling: When pulling out or pushing in the racks, do so gently to avoid unnecessary impact on the components.
