This is very helpful. The correct size replacement racks can be very difficult to find and very expensive. They should make these racks out of stainless steel with vinyl coating.
Have been using dishwashers for over 50 years and it wasn’t till 3 years ago when I moved into a new home that my racks started rusting. Makes me wonder why these racks are being manufactured using such poor quality materials and why aren’t people going after these manufacturers with a class action suit
I am 58....I can say this about every appliance in a home. Not built like they used to be...My Kirby would have lasted me a lifetime if I didn't get sick of it's weight.
Rack repair tips fall off weekly, even when sanded & glued with the white rack re-coating or heat-resistant silicone & allowed to dry (24hrs). Some of the tips have cracked & fallen off after a few weeks. I'm constantly finding repair tips in my dishwasher filter. Not a good solution.
Bummer to hear its not working for you- Ive had good success with them on two different dishwashers. That said - sometimes they do crack or fall off - just like the original coating wore off so too do there wear out. I replace them again and move on. Only other solution I’m aware of is to buy a new rack.
Ours also , i dont event think ours is 3 yet . New racks for our brand is like 160 bucks a piece . Pretty infuriating cause its bout cheaper to buy a new one . Crappy crappy stuff these days , smh .
Never had this happen with any of my dishwashers in the past. This is crappy manufacturing,store or manufacture does not care or replace.besides why replace with another piece of garbage
Polecam wyciągnąć kosz ze zmywarki . Lepiej i dokładniej się usuwa rdzę i maluje. Lepiej pokazać na filmiku wygląd rdzy na koszu przed renowacją i na koniec , po renowacji.
My KitchenAid rack is rusting FROM BELOW!!! really pissed coz they don’t even sell the exact replacement anymore. MoFos. Fortunately I was able to get the exact rack off eBay for 1/3 the ripoff KitchenAid price (for something that isn’t even an EXACT replacement). Was wondering if I can re-solder these racks and coat with a ceramic paint?

Dishwashers in general aren't made to last unfortunately

Good luck!
This video was hugely helpful. Thank you!
Glad you found value in it!

Great video, I realy like this dishwasher style and basket,what's the brand and model, please?
Sorry I dont know, and I'm not living in that house anymore to look it up for you
Very helpful video. Has the fix held up over time?
I'm no longer in that house - but it was going strong at least a year later!
Wished you showed at least one application in real time, but thanks for the video it was helpful.
Lambert Klein thanks for the feedback I’ll keep it in mind for future videos!

You're welcome!

A lawsuit for what exactly?
new place may have different water quality, etc...

Thanks for the informative video.
You’re welcome
Do you have a source for bigger caps? The one that is on Amazon are too skinny for the expanded rusty tines in my rack.
Hmmm, maybe grab some sandpaper and sand the rust off to get them back down to a size you can cap?
If they are really rusty, I would take a side grinder and cut the rust off, leaving the prongs shorter. Then seal them as normal.
Would this work for the rack itself not just the tips?
Yes, the paint is designed for the rack. It just also happens to be a good glue for the plastic tips :)
@@GanderFlight thank you! Really helpful. #subscribed
Thanks
Thank you
Welcome
One of the pegs in my lower rack came off so now the rust is exposed. Wld the re-rack work for this?
Yes you'd be able to paint over that spot.
@@GanderFlight thx!! U saved me some money!

After sanding, have you cleaned up with isopropanol alcohol?
My dishwasher racks were crumbling after only 3 years! Just replaced it. Very annoying!
They do seem to wear through pretty fast.. hope you get a few more years on the next one!
Ours also , i dont event think ours is 3 yet . New racks for our brand is like 160 bucks a piece . Pretty infuriating cause its bout cheaper to buy a new one . Crappy crappy stuff these days , smh .
What about other spots?
You can use the paint on them too
my whole row of tines rusted on the ends and came off
Yea this won't help you- sounds like you need a new rack unfortunately
WHY IS IT SO HARD TO FIND THE DAMN RACKS
Total replacement racks? Not sure - have you contacted the manufacturer directly?
planned obsolescence.... buy buy buy
Tried this, spent two pots and after few weeks rust comes again.
This is USELESS
sorry to hear that - I've had good success with the liquid and the caps

Nawet kosza nie wyciągnął. Nie polecam takiego naprawiacza.
I'd love to hear what you recommend :)

I have used this stuff and cost me $30 and it’s garbage . Doesn’t last , don’t waste your money.
Its worked well for me at two previous homes :0
