MDB7949SDM3 Whirlpool Dishwasher - Instructions

My husband did the repair. It was very easy. He basically just popped off the old wheels and popped on the new ones.

First I got online to troubleshoot issue to save mysel from a service call. One of the first UTube videos, a young man said usually the main issue was the lever. He pushed down on the floater. If it didn't click, than the lever below needed to be replaced. Most important to turn off the circuit breaker before beginning the repair. I got on whirlpool.com, Part Select, ordered the lever, which was under $10. And once delivered, was able to switch out the old lever with the new replacement. Part Quote video took me through the process step by step. The lever package was marked that usually it was only 2% of the time that replacing the lever fixed the issue. Of course, I was thrilled, my dishwasher was up and running again. Thank you.

easy the sensor was on the right side, and easy to get to, I turn off the power, turned off the water, and pulled it out, the first thing I saw was the yellow wires and plug. took about 5 minutes, to replace it.

removed and installed cords with screw driver

Recently bought a whirlpool dishwasher, the dishwasher was converted to a portable dishwasher and they did not use the cord application power cord so they machine was blowing our breaker, instructions were very simple and installation was easy!

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!

Pry the old wheel assembly and snap the new one in place.

Look at the way that 3 remaining Wheel Assemblies were attached to rack, Then pop off the offending assembly and attach the new one. Less than 5 minutes.

It has brackets that slipped right into the box. The hardest part was reattach the entire box to the side of my dishwasher.
I do feel anyone could do this repair

snapped replacement part into place on the upper rack of dishwasher

Very, Very easy - watched the Installation Video highlighted on web page and the entire process took less than 5 minutes!

Replaced the wheels.

We snapped the old one off --it did not break. We positioned the new one in the right place making sure that the slot in the middle matched up with the longitudinal wire of the rack and snapped it in place. EASY!

Took off the broken part replaced it with new part.

Easy. Just watched video.
