- Prepare the Dishwasher:
- Ensure the dishwasher is completely empty.
- Disconnect the dishwasher from its power source and turn off the water supply.
- Remove the Lower Dishrack:
Carefully pull the lower dishrack out of the dishwasher tub. It may be necessary to remove the end caps or clips that secure the rack to the rails, depending on your dishwasher model.

- Remove Old Wheels:
The old wheels are typically held in place by a small plastic axle or clip. Gently pry off the old axle and wheel. Some models may require a small screwdriver to release the clips.
- Install New Wheels:
- Align the new Samoser roller wheel with the mounting post on the dishrack.
- Insert the new axle through the center of the wheel and into the mounting post. Apply gentle pressure until the axle snaps securely into place. Ensure the wheel spins freely.

Reconnect the dishwasher's power supply and turn on the water supply. Test the dishrack movement.
6. Operating the Dishwasher
After successful installation of the new roller wheels, your dishwasher's lower rack should glide smoothly. Operate your dishwasher as per its original manufacturer's instructions. Ensure the rack is not overloaded to prevent undue stress on the wheels.

- Gentle Handling: Pull and push the dishrack gently to prevent damage to the wheels and rails.
