Dishwasher Dishwasher Rack Repair Kit - 4396838RC

Revitalize your dishwasher racks and protect your delicate glassware with the Dishwasher Rack Repair Kit (Part Number: 4396838RC). Over time, the protective vinyl coating on dishwasher tines can peel or crack, exposing the metal underneath to water and detergent. This leads to rust, which can stain your dishes and eventually cause the tines to snap off. This repair kit is an essential, cost-effective solution that seals exposed metal, stops the spread of rust, and extends the life of your existing racks.

The kit includes a high-strength, heat-resistant liquid vinyl coating and matching tine caps designed to withstand the intense heat and chemical environment of daily dishwashing cycles. Once applied, the coating creates a smooth, durable barrier that prevents further corrosion and provides a soft surface to cushion your plates and glasses.

1. Preparation: Remove the dishwasher rack and ensure it is completely dry.
2. Clean the Area: Use a wire brush or sandpaper to gently remove any loose rust from the damaged tines. Wipe the area with rubbing alcohol to remove grease or debris.
3. Apply the Liquid: If your kit includes liquid touch-up paint, shake the bottle well and apply a thin, even coat over the rusted or exposed metal areas.
4. Install the Caps: While the liquid is still tacky (or as directed by the specific kit instructions), slide the vinyl tine caps over the tips of the repaired tines.
5. Curing Time: Allow the repair to dry and cure completely—typically for 24 hours—before placing the rack back into the dishwasher or running a cycle.
6. Inspection: Check the rack periodically and reapply the coating to any new nicks or scratches to prevent future rust.
