Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Purchase the Correct Replacement Rack From Our Website

First, identify the part # of your dishwasher rack assembly by using the model number of your dishwasher. You can usually find this information on a label inside the dishwasher door. If you are not able to find the part # of your dishwasher rack, you can always send us either a picture of your model # sticker or write out the model # of your dishwasher and we would be happy to look up the part # of the dishwasher rack assembly. If we don't have the correct rack in stock (or a compatible one), we may be able to refer you to another appliance parts site that may have it in stock.

Step 2: Remove the Old Rack

• Unload the Dishwasher: Ensure the dishwasher is empty before starting. This makes it easier to remove the old rack without any obstructions.
• Slide Out the Rack: Pull the existing rack out as far as it will go. Most racks have stops that prevent them from being pulled out completely.
• Release the Stops: Locate the stops at the end of the rack rails. These can usually be released by pressing a tab or unscrewing a small screw. Once the stops are released, you can fully remove the old rack from the dishwasher.
• If you need help: Sometimes removing a dishwasher rack isn't always straightforward. Never try to force a rack to release from the dishwasher, as you may end up breaking small plastic pieces. If you need assistance send us your dishwasher model # and any relevant images of the troublespots and we may be able to assist you.

Step 3: Clean the Dishwasher Interior

With the old rack removed, take this opportunity to clean the interior of your dishwasher. Remove any debris or food particles to ensure the new rack glides smoothly and doesn't get obstructed.

Step 4: Install the New Rack

• Align the New Rack: Position the new rack so it aligns with the rails inside the dishwasher.
• Slide In the Rack: Gently slide the new rack onto the rails. Make sure it glides smoothly and doesn't catch on anything.
• Secure the Stops: Once the new rack is in place, secure the stops at the end of the rails. This will prevent the rack from sliding out completely during use.

Step 5: Test the New Rack

After installing the new rack, run a short cycle without any dishes to ensure it moves smoothly and everything is in place. Check for any unusual noises or issues.
