wheel assembly rusted and 1 wheel fell off causing rack to fail
replacing dishrack was simply removing old and sliding new onto track. however, removing and reinstalling water dispenser blade mounted on bottom of existing rack to new rack required much more time and effort .I needed to use flat screwdriver to pry plastic clamps apart and then a pair of channel locks to release assembly from original rack. It took some effort to finally accomplish . I believe all models that use this replacement rack would have this same issue with the dispenser blade and instructions for re-installation should accompany the new rack or better yet, new blade should be included on rack for those not familiar with using tools.

Broken door on dispenser
The only difficultpart was to figure out how to remove the stainless cover from the door. Seems it slides upwards after screws are removed. After that it is self explainatory and goes back together in 5 minutes.

After turning of the power to dishwasher, I opened the door took of the two bottom screws on both sides of door. Closed the door and front panel just slide off. Then I took a picture of the dispenser to make use I could figure out how to put the wiring back together. Removed the six screws holding it in place and popped the dispenser out. Easy .. popped new dispenser in and lightly put all six screws back in ,wired it back up after checking my photo. Closed the door ,slid front panel back on opened the door put the 4 screws back in that hold the front panel .Turned power back on and Boom!! All done.. Not bad for a girl...

Upper dish rack had rust spots over time
The upper dish rack replacement is a direct replacement/exact fit. The only part needed to move from old/worn dish rack was the sprayer/tube assembly that is attached to bottom of dish rack. No tools required. Just push out and replace on new part.
