Front Bowl Tine

Was discouraged seeing rust on both upper and lower racks. Remebered prior dishwasher and $300+ estimate for the racks. But the rusty parts were only some of the small moveable parts of the rack. Each one just snapped out, and the replacement snapped in. No tools at all. Five minutes and $55 later the racks looked new.

Ordered BOTH the front and rear tines as the front tine showed some superficial rust through the plastic covering in a couple of spots. Re-used the tine holders which were still solid condition and flexible. Snapped bowl holder tine unit out of dishwasher, snapped new tines in place, snapped unit back in dishwasher. Took 5 minutes or less. All other parts of the dishwasher rack were still in excellent condition with no cracked spots on the vinyl covering or rusted spots visible anwhere.

Using the PartsSelect website, I was able to easily identify and order the parts necessary. The parts that arrived were an exact match, which made the replacement quick and easy. The pieces were held in place by a plastic snap on clip. Direct pressure on the clip released the part, as per design, and the replacements parts required equal pressure to insert. The parts fit as well as the original items, which made the time of actual repair less than five minutes.

Ordered parts, opened package, installed parts.

Replaced and repaired in less than five minutes using No tools

The tines simply clipped on and off so it was easy as clipping the new ones in place.

Replaced old basket but the new one doesn't come with the handle. To remove handle from old basket I used a butter knife to slip through small notches that hold basket handle to basket.

Easily replaced front and rear tines by using clips that held the rusted ones on. Simply observed how the old clips held tines in place and copied.

I followed the steps outlined by other consumers on the web site. It was very easy except that one screw was stripped and difficult to remove; hence the pliers. Had to hold the screw with pliers so that I could remove it with screw driver. Other than that, it was a snap.

I pulled the damaged tine bowls out buy removing clips that secured the damaged tine bowls to the lower dishwasher rack. I attached the original clips to the new tine bowls and recliped the the clips to the dishwasher rack. I had to make sure I had the tine bowls facing correctly so tried this out first before attaching them to rack. It was a very painless repair.

Very east to repair.....pop out the rusted tines from the clips and pop in the new ones.
