Coating on the rack has worn exposing the metal underneath
There were no instructions with the part, but looking at the old rack it was simple to see how the parts should be assembled. Took the center part from the old rack, twisted off, and applied it to the center of the new rack. Snapped on the wheels and was done. Very simple assembly.

The 6 rollers on the bottom rack of my dishwasher had fallen off over time. The rack wouldn't roll in or out w/o trouble.
I simply popped the old units off and popped the new units into place. Very, Very easy!!! No stress repair!

The bottom dishrack was having areas that were breaking off and showing rust.
We took the rollers off the old one (new ones came with the dishrack also) and put them on the dishrack (they snapped on). There was also an extra piece that we figured out how to put on. Then slid it in place and it was fine.

Wheels on bottom rack were broken
I layed the bottom rack upside down on the counter. Removed the old wheel sets and the new ones just snapped into position. I think the rack rolls better now than it ever did with the original equipment. I'm glad we purchase the Tandem Rack Rollers instead of a new dishwasher, it works great.

worn and rusted lower dishrack
First, I checked the ripped box for damage to the dishrack. Fortunately, there was none. Then I looked for the instruction booklet. Unfortunately, there was none. And the parts bag was ripped and I did not know what was supposed to be in it. So, I rechecked the photo of the dishrack on the website and found that either parts were missing or the dishrack was different than illistrated. After a few moments of thought, I realized the latter was the case. I then figured I would have to use some deep thought to do the installation since neither the missing instruction booklet nor the unzoomable photo would help. So, I pulled out the tall thin thingamabob from the old dishrack and put it in the new one though it did not secure as tightly. Then I put the wheel units on just like the old one. What I could not immediately figure out was where the collapsible rack row was mounted. I eventually realized that the rod went into a hole in the wheel units and the latch mounted above one unit. I still have no idea where the two other tan clips go. Though the dishrack is different and thus requires different science to fill it, it appears to do the job.
Thanks for asking.
By the way, it was not blue.

I had a broken lower rack wheel
I simply snapped off the old broken roller set and snapped on the replacements. No tools were even needed and now the rack rolls smoothly on all wheels! This has encouraged me to try other

replacement of lower rack wheels (rollers)
This job took 30 seconds to accomplish. The old wheel assemblies (4) just snapped off and the new wheel rollers just snapped in their place. No tools were needed. Extremely satisfied with this product. Wished I had performed this repair years ago!

Lower dishwasher rack was deteriorating (extensive rust) and needed to be replaced
The lower dish rack rolls directly out of the dishwasher without problem - there is no permanent attachment. The new rack comes as a kit, which includes the 4 required dish rack wheels (Part # 6 in the diagram). One part (only) from the original dish rack needs to be removed and re-installed on the new rack - the upper spray arm tower (Part #5 in the diagram). That is easily removed from the original rack with a 1/8 counterclockwise turn, to disengage the 'feet', and installed on the new rack with a 1/8 clockwise turn. The kit is designed to allow for use on multiple models, so there are 'extra' parts left over, after it is used for the DU8500XX-2 dishwasher. These can be discarded.

One of the two door springs broke
I followed the instructions that came with the spring and found them to be very complete. The repair was easy. The repair involved removal of the lower access door, installation of the new spring and replacing the access door.
