Whirlpool WP99003003 Dishwasher Tine Row Pivot OEM Part

A couple of missing wheels on the lower tray and broken pivots and latches had made our dishwasher inconvenient to use. I had replaced those parts earlier using this website. A tine row pivot broke recently. As you'd expect, it's easy to snap in a new one. Dishwasher is old enough that some parts are prone to breaking. The extra parts are spares.

This is my 3rd control panel for this dishwasher. I've become somewhat of an expert fixing this flawed board. A star screw driver and a nut driver are all you need.

Initial thoughts were a clogged drain, or failed drain motor. Disassembling the lower impeller assembly and checking the lines all the way through to the garbage disposal proved that wasn't the problem. In the process I found the tech sheet behind the kick panel (and a slow leak in the supply line, but that's a different story) which showed the key combination for putting the washer in test mode. Used that to prove the drain motor was working fine. With all of the mechanical possibilities eliminated, was left with the chance that it was a failing relay on the control board. Eight screws, three nuts later and all was back together. Customer is very happy! Threw in a couple of tine clips which had broken over the years, and she was even more pleased!

Ordered parts using dishwasher drawings, watched repair video, and replaced parts.

The fix was so easy. I snapped out the broken part and snapped in the new one.
