The rollers on the upper basket of our Kitchenaid dishwasher are crumbling.
They are losing teeth…
Two lost all the teeth that hold the wheels on. So I tapped 5/16” coarse thread.
A 5/16 hex bolt fits the wheel recess perfectly, I just turned down the top and made a screwdriver slot with the bandsaw.
And it will work ok for a while longer. Note the zip ties holding the wheel assemblies to the basket, the clips that did so, do no longer.
The Datadesk keyboard Max used for a while.
It got a bit sticky…gross.
Modular design…
Has a separate board for the USB hub and input.
I cleaned all teh switches with contact cleaner. It works fine now at my treadmill desk.
All I did was take the housing off and clean the switch contacts. Not that exciting.

I think some of my stuff could use contact cleaning. I've never done it before - can you point me to a good how-to reference?
I'd just look at youtube videa, there are a bunch of people posting for various objects like amplifiers, etc. The quality is variable...
Basically you want to squirt a little contact cleaner into the switch and work the switch a bunch of times. Same with potentiometers as on volume controls, etc.
Thanks, Nick. Summer project!
