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.

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!

Dishwasher had no water coming into the bottom of it
Took the old one off and replaced it with the new one we received from you. It was great because we received the part just in time to do the Thanksgiving dishes! Thanks PartSelect.

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.

Bottom tray wheels would catch on old door gasket making it difficult to remove and insert.
Followed the exellent instructions, the flange kit really solves the problem of lower rack wheel catching on the seal. Superior replacement parts compared to previouse repair two years ago.

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.
