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.

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.

water leaks. ordered the door gasket

when removing all the screws from the door gasket the dishwasher door and frame separates making reassembly not possible. you have to leave at least one screw on bottom half on each side, After all that the door would not close. I had to remove the new gasket and put the old one back on.
I need to return the gasket for credit

soap dish door does not always pop open

the plastic pin that retains the spring has a head on one end that hits a plastic stop on the door to keep it from coming out. I used a small grinder and made a flat spot on the head diameter to make it easy to slide out. This is easier than trying to pry the door off the pin at the two retaing snaps. I was conderned these pin retainer clips were brittle and would break off.
Once the pin is slid out, it is a matter to hold the new spring holes in line with the pin. rotate pin so flat side you ground is turned up, so pin will not move out that way. Tiij about an hour
