At first I thought I needed a new bottom rack for my dishwasher. Out of curiosity, I watched the installation video and realized that the Tine Row installed separately and that was the only part I needed. I am appreciative of being able to access that video and the money I saved. Installation took seconds to complete.

Took off the old wheels and placed them on the new rack - fast and easy if you watch the video.

Removed broken tin row. Replaced with new tine row. Tokk less than 1 minute.

Turn off water and disconnect water line.
Pull dishwasher out as far as possible.

... Read more Hinge is a poor design. Ours had grease on the spring and it had slipped off the connection.

There was no tools involved the part popped right into place. I received the part within two days from the date placed. It was great.

Cut DW brackets to size, attached to DW. Bent back tabs, pushed DW into place and installed screws.

followed directions, a kid could have done it,

Just replaced it in the notches that held the rusted tine.

Our experience was amazing. The part itself simply needed to be replaced: dropped into the lower rack and it was done. The amazing part was the wonderful service that this site provided. We discovered our initial mistake, contacted the company, and received instructions for how to return it. Then we ordered the tine and it was sent im ... Read more mediately. Just received confirmation that the returned lower rack had been received, so the process is complete to our great satisfaction. This site really has it down for providing excellent customer service. They are terrific!! Thank you!

Pulled the dishwasher out from under counter - removing 2 screws accessible on sides of dishwasher - these screws hold dishwasher under counter. Drain pump accessible right side bottom. Disconnect wiring clip - grab pump turn counter clockwise 1/4 turn and pull out of housing. Then reverse this process for installation

It’s great when you have parts that fit and a schematic to go by. I got both from this site. There are three parts that these screws hold in place. Use the schematic to see which way each part is facing. Line all the parts up and then look through the covers. You’ll see pre drilled holes on either side of the cover. Line the screws up to ... Read more the pre drilled holes. Put the first screw in half way then insert the second screw all the way. Come back to the first screw and tighten it all the way. Two screws, two minutes and I was done. Real easy repair, just awkward as you are on your belly on the floor. I used a drill with a socket that fit the screw head.

quick and easy,tine-row just snapped right in! Took about 15 seconds!

Inner gasket (Part # PS16221119) was angled in at the corners, so it wouldn't make a seal with the door, resulting in steam leakage and damage to adjacent cabinet door. Simply pulled out old gasket, pushed new one into track and voila, problem solved. New gasket angles out at corners, creating steam-tight seal.

I just popped the new one onto the bottom of the middle rack and it was done. Easiest repair I have EVER done!
