Caster Replacement Potlable Dishwashers
Use the following procedure to repair a damaged caster socket Obtain a caster repair kit from your Sears Ser-
vice Department
Drill out the four projection welds that anchor the caster sleeve (See FigureD7) A light tap on the closed end
of the sleeve will dislodge the entire sleeve assembly it is necessary to remove this sleeve so that the new
easter will rest flush on the support cross piece

and strength to the caster.
By using this method of replacement, you wnl need to replace only the caster in the damaged socket
This procedure can be followed on most dishwashers Very old units with small diameter wheels require replace-
ment of all four (4) casters

Do not attemp[ to replace casters by merely inserting the new caster m the old sleeve This is not proper and
will cause the machine to be out of level Casters marking the floor can usually be traced to a damaged or
lammed caster assembly This causes the caster 1o shde rather then roff across the floor
