my old lower dishwasher rack was rusted out and some parts broken.
1 person found this instruction helpful.
  • Kathy from ELGIN, IL
  • Really Easy
  • 30 - 60 mins
  • Pliers
Snapped on the rollers, removed the center part from the old rack that sprays the water and snapped it on the new one. We then bent the back row down so it would acomodate my larger items. My old rack had that feature. You could either have the rack up or down. Now l
ooks beautiful and works perfectly.
Could have used some di rections though.

  • William from VALPARAISO, FL
  • A Bit Difficult
  • More than 2 hours
  • Screw drivers, Socket set
when removing all the screws from the door gasket the dishwasher door and frame separates making reassembly not possible. you have to leave at least one screw on bottom half on each side, After all that the door would not close. I had to remove the new gasket and put the old one back on.
I need to return the gasket for credit

lower rack started to rust through coating
3 of 7 people found this instruction helpful.
  • Carol from St Johnsbury, VT
  • Easy
  • 15 - 30 mins
  • Screw drivers
Since there were no printed instructions, we looked at the photo schematic.
Reassembly using the photo was easy by putting the old rack alongside the new one and adjusting the new rack spacing to match the old one.
We also had new wheels which snapped on.
We were delighted to repair and replace this good, older dishwasher r ather than purchase a new one!
