This Dishwasher Dishrack Adjuster Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers, designed to allow for the adjustment of the upper rack's height to accommodate dishes of various sizes. This kit includes all necessary parts for the left and right sides and installation instructions.
Causes of a bad Adjuster can range from mechanical wear and tear, leading to the breakdown of plastic components over time, to overloading the rack, which places excessive strain on the adjuster mechanisms. Exposure to high temperatures and detergents can cause the degradation of adjuster parts over time.
Symptoms of a failing Adjuster include:
- Difficulty in adjusting the upper rack's height or position
- The upper rack sagging or not staying in the set position
- Broken or missing components on the adjuster mechanism
- The upper rack becoming detached from the adjuster
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
