Parts for Maytag MDB8600AWS: 05 - Rack Assembly (Upr) Parts

The Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner is an OEM accessory designed specifically for Whirlpool brand dishwashers. This citrus-scented tablet removes residue, odor-causing soils, and food particles from the dishwasher tub and gasket area during the cleaning cycle. Symptoms of a buildup include unwanted odors emanating from the dishwasher, especially after opening the door. Over time, residue and grime accumulate in hard-to-reach areas and provide an environment for mold and mildew growth.

Regular cleaning helps prevent this by removing leftover soils before they harden or encourage bacterial activity. The Affresh tablet utilizes a unique blend of cleaning ingredients that target soils and biofilms through a combination of powerful scrubbing action and natural cleaning enzymes.

As the #1 recommended dishwasher cleaner brand, Affresh is also compatible for use in Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and select Kenmore dishwashers for consistent cleanliness and freshness. The package includes six tablets 4.2 ounces

The Tub Wheel supports and guides the washer's tub assembly on its base during wash and spin cycles. Replacing a worn wheel restores smoother, quieter operation and helps reduce vibration and rubbing as the machine operates.

• Reduces friction between the tub and the base/frame
• Helps keep the tub centered to minimize noise and vibration
• Failure symptoms include squeaking or grinding, scraping noises, dragging movement, or visible flat spots/cracks on the wheel

• Disconnect power and water supply before servicing; wear appropriate gloves and eye protection
• Access the base/suspension per the service information and support the tub to remove load from the wheel
• Remove the retainer/axle, install the new wheel, and free rotation and correct orientation
• Reassemble, level the appliance, and run a spin test to check for noise and balance

This replacement silverware basket holds forks, knives and spoons in the dishwasher lower rack so utensils stay upright and separate for better cleaning and easier unloading. It's a direct-fit interior basket designed to restore secure utensil loading. What it does:

• Keeps silverware and small utensils contained so pieces don't fall through or block the spray arms
• Separates items to improve water flow and cleaning coverage
• Prevents loose utensils from banging and potentially damaging dishes
• Replaces cracked, broken, or missing baskets that allow utensils to shift during the cycle

• Drop into the lower rack — no tools required for typical swap-out
• Position basket so it sits flat and does not interfere with rack movement or spray arm rotation
• Avoid overloading; place sharp utensils point-down or bundle separately to reduce hazard when unloading
• For appliance repairs beyond simple replacement, disconnect power and water before servicing
