Rusty or broken Bosch dishwasher basket? Time for a new lower rack

The lower basket carries plates, pots and the cutlery basket on wheels that roll along the door and tub rails. Once the plastic coating on the wire splits, the steel underneath rusts, leaving orange marks on dishes and flakes of rust in the filter. Broken tines, missing or cracked wheels and a basket that jams or drops off the rails are other common reasons to replace it. Rust spots can also stain the tub, so swapping a corroded basket early saves trouble later.

Fitting the new lower basket

Pull the old basket fully out and lift it off the door rails. Check the wheels on the new basket roll freely, then set it on the rails and slide it in and out to confirm it runs smoothly. Drop the cutlery basket into its spot, then run a rinse cycle with a light load to make sure nothing rattles or catches the lower spray arm.
