Hi! It is Steve from PartSelect. Today, we are going to show you how to change the lower
roller axle on your dishwasher and it is a really easy job and you won’t need any tools.
Let me show you how we do it. Now to do this repair we will begin by opening the dishwasher
door. Then we are going to pull bottom rack out and will remove any of the items that
are on the rack and we will locate the broken axle. Then we will just pull the wheel off
of the axle, if it isn’t already off. Just pull it straight towards you and set that
aside. Now to remove the axle, we basically need to spread those two retaining tabs and
then push it towards the center of the rack. Remove and discard the old one.
Now to install the new one, we will note that there is a single tab that comes off on one
side and that will point down. So we will insert the axle end through the loop in the
rack first and then with both hands pulling it towards you that will spread those two
locking tabs. Just tilt it slightly up at the back as you are pushing that into the
rack till it snaps into place. We will take the wheel and one side of the hub sticks out
little farther than the other and that hub should face towards the center of the rack,
simply line it up, and push it into position. Slide the rack back into the dishwasher, close
the door and your repair is complete. I told you it was an easy job. Thanks for watching
and good luck with your repair.
