W10195839 & W10195840 & W10250160 Adjuster Positioner, Rack Adjuster & Adjuster Arm Clip-lock Kit

Key Features

  • Reinforced Structural Polymer: All components are manufactured from a high-density, heat-stabilized plastic designed to withstand the intense thermal cycling of "Sani-Rinse" and "High-Temp Wash" without warping or cracking.
  • Precision Height Adjustment: The W10195840 adjuster housing and W10195839 positioner work in tandem to allow for a smooth, multi-level height transition of the upper rack, accommodating tall glassware or large bottom-rack cookware.
  • Upgraded Snap-Lock Security: Includes the W10250160 clip-locks, featuring a dual-tab locking interface that prevents the upper rack from accidentally dropping or becoming unseated during heavy loading.
  • Complete Left & Right Restoration: This comprehensive kit includes all necessary components to rebuild both the left and right side adjuster assemblies, restoring the level balance and structural integrity of your upper dish rack.

Compatibility & Fitment

This adjuster kit is the standard replacement for the upper rack of most modern Whirlpool-manufactured dishwashers. Key compatible brands include:

  • Whirlpool & Maytag: Fits many WDT, WDF, and MDB series models (e.g., WDT720PADM, MDB4949SHZ, WDF520PADM).
  • KitchenAid & Jenn-Air: Compatible with various KDTM, KDTE, and JDT series units (e.g., KDTE104ESS, KUDC10FXSS).
  • Kenmore (665 Series): Fits hundreds of 665-prefix "Elite" and standard dishwashers (e.g., 665.13263K311, 665.13282K113).
  • Amana & Estate: Direct fit for dozens of ADB and DU series models utilizing this specific adjuster hardware.
  • Note: This is a mechanical kit for the height adjustment mechanism. It does not include the rack wheels (rollers) or the metal sliding tracks.

When to Replace

  • Upper Rack Dropping: One side of the upper rack suddenly falls or "slumps" because the W10250160 clip-lock or W10195839 positioner has snapped.
  • Rack Won't Adjust: The height adjustment mechanism feels loose, jammed, or wobbly, making it impossible to raise or lower the rack securely.
  • Unbalanced Loading: The upper rack sits at an angle, causing the middle spray arm to hit the dishes below or preventing the door from closing properly.
  • Visible Heat Damage: The grey plastic looks "whitened," brittle, or has visible stress fractures from long-term exposure to the dishwasher's heating element.
  • Missing Hardware: Clips or positioners have popped off during a cycle and were lost or damaged at the bottom of the tub.

Installation Tips

  • No Specialized Tools Required: This is a "snap-fit" repair. Pull the upper dish rack out completely or remove it from the tracks for the best visibility and access.
  • Removing Old Hardware: Use a small flat-head screwdriver to gently pry the old W10250160 clips away from the adjuster body. Be careful not to bend the metal rack wires.
  • Clean the Rack: Before installing the new kit, wipe away any old food particles or mineral scale from the rack's side wires to ensure a secure, permanent lock.
  • The "Click" Test: Align the positioner and adjuster housing, then press the clip-lock firmly until you hear a distinct "click." This ensures the rack is anchored safely to the rail system.
  • Replace Both Sides: Since the plastic components on both sides are exposed to the same heat and chemicals, it is highly recommended to replace the left and right assemblies simultaneously to prevent a repeat failure.

FAQ

This kit is compatible with dishwashers manufactured by Whirlpool, Kenmore, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and Roper.
This kit replaces OEM part numbers W10195839, W10195840, and W10250160. It also cross-references with WPW10195839, PS11750092, AP6016799, W10238418, W10253546, W10712394, and W10350376.
Common symptoms include the upper rack failing to stay at the desired height, the rack dropping unexpectedly, or visible damage to the plastic adjuster housing, arm, or clip-lock mechanism. If you hear a snapping sound when adjusting the rack height, the internal clips have likely failed.
You will typically need a flat-head screwdriver or a small pry tool to release the plastic tabs on the rack assembly. The process usually takes about 20 to 30 minutes. It is recommended to remove the upper rack from the dishwasher rails entirely to provide easier access to the adjuster assembly.
When installing the new adjuster, ensure the rack is completely level before snapping the clip-lock into place. It is also a good practice to inspect the rack wheels and the slide rails for debris or wear while the rack is removed, as these components often experience stress at the same time as the adjusters.
