Steve D Healdsburg , CA August 03, 2014 The lower rack in our dishwasher failed the plastic got cut and the metal core rusted away Purchased a new rack and would have skipped reporting on it except that the new rack is superior to the old one. Easy to load, better silverware basket. It is so much better I bought a one for my mother (same dishwasher - lucky her!) before she even had a problem with the original. 32 People found this story helpful Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
