The Upper Dishrack Wheel is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It is designed to attach to the upper dishrack, allowing it to glide smoothly along the tracks during loading and unloading. This wheel ensures that the upper rack moves effortlessly, providing easy access to dishes and maintaining the dishwasher's efficiency.
Over time, the upper dishrack wheel can become faulty. Causes of a bad upper dishrack wheel can include regular wear and tear, damage from heavy loads, or exposure to high temperatures and detergents. A malfunctioning wheel can hinder the movement of the upper dishrack, making it difficult to access and load dishes properly.
Symptoms of a bad upper dishrack wheel include:
- The upper dishrack not sliding smoothly or getting stuck
- The dishrack being uneven or lopsided
- Noise or resistance when moving the upper dishrack
- The wheel appearing cracked, broken, or missing
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
