Maytag MDB Broken Rack Rail Repair (W11259785, W10852728, W1192640)

#DIY #Maytag

When I'm not fighting the gunga, I'm fighting bad welds I guess? lol. If you're going to buy a replacement rail, make sure you get the correct side.

Many dishwashers share this exact part, but under different part numbers, and that actually also includes Whirlpool, Jenn Air, Kenmore, and Kitchen Aid:

W10311157, W10462359, W10752595, W10781301, W10811586, W10852728, W10914015, W10915185, W11048934, W11192640.

Here's the actual (LEFT) track listing:

Also kind of begs the question, are these manufacturers all basically the same? Hmm... _

You gave my husband and I the courage to do this ourselves! Thank you for posting this. The struggle we had was pulling the dishwasher off the counter coz there were the two hidden brackets on both sides that you warned viewers about. What they held, we don't know. We only found them after we yanked with all our might. We were about to give up but we kept going back to your video and we told ourselves that you made it look easy! Glad we pushed through. We returned it back with no issues, leveled properly and basket was smoothly rolling again. God bless you! ❤

Once again, Bootstrappin to the rescue. My Maytag dishwasher came with a 10-year factory warranty on the top and bottom racks. Guess what? The rails are covered under the warranty. Saved me $88 + shipping. Always register your appliance warranty and keep a copy in a file. Thanks for a great video!

When I heard the word 'dishwasher' I knew there _had_ to be a gunga dimension to this fix.

Thanks a bunch for this vid. I came here because my top rack rails are not sliding fully in, and need to be pressed to get fully iinside the door. Had you experienced that? I am wondering if mine are at the point they are about to fail like yours did. The rail seems on an angle with the weight of the rack on it.

The Gunga is strong with dishwashers. I have had many battles with the dreaded Gunga that lurks in my Bosch. You would think, the very device that is tasked with the duty of washing would eradicate the Gunga and leave behind a pristine environment, but no. Looks as if you have a can of Rapid Tap Cutting Fluid on the floor. Has Rapid Tap Cutting Fluid some mystical power over the Gunga that its mere presence assist in eradicating the Gunga?

Hello I have an emergency, my Maytag just stopped. The elecrical wires I checked they are still intact. Thats how it looks. The breaker is okay. Could the filter system be the problem to shut it down completely?

Do you do advising for all appliances for a fee?
