Setup and Installation
Replacing a dishwasher lower basket is generally a straightforward process. Follow these steps for safe and proper installation:
- Safety First: Before attempting any installation, ensure your dishwasher is turned off and disconnected from the power supply to prevent electrical hazards.
- Remove Old Basket: Carefully pull out the old lower basket from the dishwasher tub. Note how it sits on the rails and if there are any specific alignment points.
- Inspect Rails: Check the dishwasher's lower rails for any damage or debris. Clean them if necessary to ensure smooth movement of the new basket.
- Install New Basket: Align the wheels of the new lower basket with the dishwasher's lower rails. Gently push the basket into place until it slides smoothly into the back of the dishwasher. Ensure all 8 wheels are properly seated on the rails.
- Test Movement: Pull the basket out and push it back in a few times to confirm it moves freely and without obstruction.
- Check Tines: Verify that the foldable tines operate correctly and can be adjusted as needed.
- Reconnect Power: Once the basket is securely installed and moves smoothly, reconnect your dishwasher to the power supply.
If you encounter any difficulties or if the basket does not fit correctly, do not force it. Double-check the compatibility and dimensions.
Operating Instructions
The lower basket is designed to hold larger items such as dinner plates, serving dishes, pots, and pans. Proper loading ensures effective cleaning and prevents damage to dishes or the dishwasher.
- Load Large Items: Place larger and heavily soiled items in the lower basket. Ensure they do not block the spray arms from rotating freely.
- Face Soiled Surfaces: Position dishes with their soiled surfaces facing the center of the dishwasher for optimal water spray coverage.
- Avoid Overloading: Do not overcrowd the basket. Leave enough space between items for water and detergent to reach all surfaces.
- Use Foldable Tines: Utilize the two foldable tines to accommodate unusually shaped items or larger pots and pans.
- Secure Lightweight Items: Ensure lightweight plastic items are secured to prevent them from flipping over and filling with water.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance of your dishwasher basket will extend its lifespan and ensure hygienic operation.
- Regular Cleaning: Periodically remove the basket and wipe down any food debris or residue that may accumulate on the basket wires or wheels.
- Check Wheels: Inspect the 8 wheels for smooth rotation and ensure they are free from obstructions. Clean any buildup around the wheel axles.
- Inspect Tines: Check the foldable tines for any signs of damage or bending. Ensure they can be folded and unfolded smoothly.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Do not use abrasive cleaners or harsh chemicals on the basket, as this may damage its coating. A mild dish soap and water solution is sufficient.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your lower basket, consider the following common problems and solutions:
- Basket Not Sliding Smoothly:
- Check the dishwasher rails for food debris or obstructions.
- Ensure all 8 wheels are properly seated on the rails and are not damaged.
- Verify that the basket is not overloaded or improperly loaded, causing imbalance.
- Dishes Not Cleaning Properly in Lower Basket:
- Ensure dishes are not blocking the lower spray arm.
- Avoid overcrowding the basket, allowing water to circulate freely.
- Check that large items are not obstructing the detergent dispenser.
- Tines Not Folding/Unfolding:
- Inspect the hinge mechanism of the foldable tines for any debris or damage.
- Gently clean the area and apply a small amount of food-safe lubricant if necessary.
User Tips

- Check Original Part Numbers: If possible, cross-reference the original part numbers (e.g., Teka: 81785650, 81785420; Midea: 12976000003132, 12976000003129) to confirm compatibility with your specific dishwasher model.
- Gentle Handling: While durable, avoid dropping or forcefully bending the basket to prevent damage to the coating or wire frame.
