Replaced Wheels on Kenmore Elite Dishwasher, UPDATE: Changed from 4 stars to 5

I have been struggling with falling wheels on our 5 year old Kenmore dishwasher for over a year. After looking up OEM replacement wheel prices, I searched Revain's website and found them. The new wheels arrived quickly and appear to be very durable, completely replacing the original wheels. Looking at how the wheels attach to the brackets, I can tell they won't fall off like the originals. It took me 3 minutes to remove the wheel assembly and install the new wheels. The first thing I noticed when I put the basket back in the dishwasher; it took twice as much effort for the basket to slide back into the washing machine as before. Apparently the wheels weren't turning properly. I removed the basket and the wheels turned freely. Put the basket back in the washing machine and the same problem, more effort rolling the basket than before. As an engineer, I had to find the problem. I reinstalled the OEM wheels and the basket slides in and out freely. The basket had some lateral (side to side) movement. I reinstalled the spare wheels and found that there was no lateral shift causing pressure on the sides of the wheels causing them not to roll properly. Either the mounts or the wheels are a fraction of an inch wider than stock. I believe this problem will probably resolve itself after some use. I gave the product 4 stars only because of this issue. Even with this very small issue, I would still buy these replacements again and pay more than double for an OEM replacement. UPDATE: After 2 weeks of daily use the wheels have come loose and the basket now slides in and out much easier. Because of this fact, I have upgraded this product to 5 stars.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Almost never
