Before you replace it

Start with safety. Disconnect power before inspection. Do not disturb gas connections. Stop for burning smells, damaged wiring or uncertain access and contact a qualified technician.
  • Check the adjuster body, wheel and latch for damage. A track or rack fault may require a different component.

Compare the actual package.

Compare the exact reference, quantity and model evidence before comparing cost. Retailer prices are dated observations; shipping and tax are extra unless the seller says otherwise.

Plan the replacement.

This is an overview for planning the work. Use your complete model’s service instructions for access, fasteners and final checks. The linked catalogs identify the part and may provide repair material for specific models; they are not instructions for every appliance.

Access / difficulty
Access and fasteners vary by model; use the model service instructions.
Time
No model-specific time estimate has been verified.
Tools
Use the tool list in the model-specific service instructions.
  1. Stop the dishwasher, let it cool and disconnect power before handling the rack mechanism.
  2. Unload and support the upper rack, then follow the model procedure for releasing its track stops and removing it.
  3. Photograph the original adjuster orientation. Compare the replacement package with the diagram, including whether the purchase covers one or both sides.
  4. Use the current kit or part instructions to release and replace the adjuster, retaining the correct track and wheel arrangement.
  5. Reinstall the rack and stops, then check level adjustment and smooth travel by hand before normal operation. Do not force a binding rack.

This is a planning overview, not a complete service procedure. Stop for damaged wiring, gas odor, leaks or uncertain access; use qualified service.

Availability & number history

Last status check: 2026-10-21. Retailer catalogs listed this part for sale when reviewed. Stock and delivery estimates must be checked with the retailer.

Availability can change. Check the current retailer listing; a missing listing alone does not prove that a part is discontinued.

A few useful answers.

Does finding my part number confirm compatibility?

No. Match the complete appliance model and its suffix against the documented model list. An unlisted model is unknown, not a confirmed mismatch.

Is it sold as a pair?

No. The record describes one upper-rack adjuster. Two individual pieces are needed if both sides require this reference.

Does the left side use a different part?

The reviewed catalogs list this adjuster for either side on the documented models. That does not extend fit to a different rack design.

Can I order W10712395 instead?

Do not treat it as an automatic substitute. W10712395 is a different two-sided kit with its own model list and contents.
