Adjustable tines and other components of a dishwasher rack may be available as a separate part, if needed. The best solution when are area of the plastic coating on a dishwasher rack is worn away, missing or rusting is to replace the dishwasher rack.

• Parts availability varies by model. Call the Factory Certified Parts Distributor in your area to check part availability for your model.
• If parts are not available, or if the damage is to a non-removable portion of the rack, replace the dishwasher rack.
