I need help replacing the lower rack of the above dishwasher. I bought and recently received from AppliancePartsPros a new lower rack (8268642) and 2 tine rows (8519589). I have all the other original parts from the old rack, but I’m having trouble properly installing the tine rows in the rack. (The old rack and tine rows were so badly rusted that they were useless as a model for this part of the installation.) You’re supposed to be able to keep the tine rows in an up position or fold them down. Various product diagrams indicate that relevant parts for installing the tine rows are tine pivot (8268523) and retainer (8268522)–I’ve got these parts. But even after hours of web searches I don’t see how all these fit together. I’ve seen many pictures, but not a single one shows how to actually put these things together. I do hope you can help.
Thank you.
