524665 Genuine Base Rack Kit for Fisher & Paykel DishDrawer Dishwashers DD603 DS603 DS605SS DD601 DD124C DD224C 526062

When the coating on a DishDrawer rack starts flaking or tines snap off, rust and chipped plates aren't far behind. Part 524665 is the genuine Fisher & Paykel base rack kit, cross referenced to 526062. It is listed for single and double DishDrawers such as the DD601, DD602 and DD603, the DS601 and DS603, the DS605 and DS605SS, and the older DD124C, DD224C and DD124P5.

Rusty or broken DishDrawer rack? Here's why it matters

The base rack is the main wire rack in the drawer, holding plates, bowls and pots in the path of the wash arm. Its plastic coating protects the wire from water and detergent. Once that coating chips or splits, the steel underneath starts to rust, which leaves orange marks on dishes and can stain the drawer itself. Bent or broken tines let plates lean and clash together, and a rack that sits unevenly may stop the wash arm turning or catch as the drawer slides shut.

Swapping the rack

With the drawer empty and cool, lift the old rack straight up and out. Look for loose tine caps or rust flakes in the drawer and clear them so they don't end up in the filter. Drop the new rack in, make sure it sits level, then turn the wash arm by hand to confirm nothing catches before you close the drawer.

Questions about this part

My double DishDrawer has two drawers, do I need two racks?

Each drawer has its own base rack. Order one for every drawer whose rack is rusty or broken. If only one drawer is affected, a single kit is all you need.
