How to Install a Dish Rack in a GE Dishwasher

General Electric dishwashers have two dish racks designed to make the most of the available space in the dishwasher compartment. The bottom rack sits on the bottom of the dishwasher, and is removed by lifting it straight out. However, the top rack is more difficult to remove to prevent the rack from falling during normal use. The rack is secured using sliders, which the wheels are inserted into. After cleaning or repairing the rack, you must reinstall it. Properly installing the rack is essential to ensure that your dishes are properly cleaned, and that the rack does not fall out of the dishwasher, potentially causing injury to you and damage to your dishes.

Instructions

- 1
  Open the GE dishwasher door and pull the two sliders for the upper rack out of the dishwasher, as far as they will go.
- 2
  Align the dishwasher wheels with the sliders and insert the wheels into the sliders. Push the dish rack completely into the dishwasher.
- 3
  Pull both sliders slightly forward so they are out of the dishwasher and you can access the ends of the sliders.
- 4
  Align one of the rack stops with the end of the one of the sliders, from the inside the slider. Insert the bottom of the rack stop into the bottom channel of the slider and bend the rack stop back, toward the rear of the dishwasher. With the tab bend back, move the rack stop into the slider channel.
- 5
  Install the other rack stop using the same method used to install the first.
- 6
  Push the rack into the dishwasher and close the dishwasher door.
