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!

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

Replaced broken door spring
This repair should have been rated "Easy" but because of a) the age of the dishwasher - 25 years and b) the close quarters to replace the spring, it was a bit of a challenge. If I could have pulled the dishwasher out a few inches, replacing the spring would have been a snap. But because of new flooring on top of existing flooring, that wasn't possible. Also the side cabinets were so close that getting a pair of pliers in there to hook the spring onto the door was tough. Ended up cutting out some cabinet facing that wasn't going to effect the look of things in order to get my hands and tools in there to get the hook end of the spring on the door. After I finally got it on and replaced the kickplate, sat back and had a cold one. Whew!

left door spring broken - door wouldn't stay up
Removed the two screws securing the dishwasher to the underside of countertop.
Pulled the washer out until the spring mechanism was visible. Vacuumed the area - it was filthy. Assembled the spring and adjusting hook. Took me 4 tries to get the spring into the proper tension slot. Having the other side intact helped in understanding how it worked. Used long nosed pliers to bring spring onto the door retaing plate slot after trying unsuccessfully with regular pliers.

All rollers missing on lower rack of dishwasher
The brackets that held the original wheels were still on the rack. They were easily pulled off the rack. The new assembly did not look like the original part. It was not difficult to see how they fit onto the rack. The only caution is to press the top part of the new assembly onto the frame before snapping the rest of the new piece into place.

lower rack started to rust through coating
Since there were no printed instructions, we looked at the photo schematic.
Reassembly using the photo was easy by putting the old rack alongside the new one and adjusting the new rack spacing to match the old one.
We also had new wheels which snapped on.
We were delighted to repair and replace this good, older dishwasher rather than purchase a new one!

my old lower dishwasher rack was rusted out and some parts broken.
Snapped on the rollers, removed the center part from the old rack that sprays the water and snapped it on the new one. We then bent the back row down so it would acomodate my larger items. My old rack had that feature. You could either have the rack up or down. Now l
ooks beautiful and works perfectly.
Could have used some directions though.

throwed water out under the door
Did not use the new parts. After removing the spray arm, found a screw out of place. Put the seal ring back in place and the screw back in the hole. Machine works like new.
