Replacement for rusting 40 yr old rack

Very Easy
Less than 15 mins
Screw drivers

Tranfered wheels from old rack to replacement rack. Silverware caddy was a bit too big for the replacement. I gently bent the prongs on the rack a little and its fits perfect.

Took front control panel off and discovered that door interlock switch was mechanically damaged. Repaired with epoxy but realized it was only temporary fix. Searched and found the replacement on PartSelect, after install, washer works fine.
