Norbert D Tucson , AZ July 24, 2018 Original basket was broken on the bottom in places and the silverware penetrated and stopped the bottom washer mechanism. You take out the old basket and throw it away. You put the new basket into the specified slot. I really didn't classify this as a repair. It was just a simple replacement of a good part for a faulty one. Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes
