Description

This actuator assembly operates the dishwasher's top rack mechanisms to enable proper rack movement and adjustment. Replacing a worn or broken top-rack actuator restores reliable rack travel and prevents misalignment during cycles. What it does:

• Drives or releases the top rack adjustment/advance mechanism so the rack moves and positions correctly.
• Stops binding or uneven rack travel caused by a failed actuator.
• Helps prevent scraping, jamming, or unusual noises from the top rack area when loading or during cycles.
• Works as the mechanical linkage between the rack and the dishwasher's internal drive components.

What's included: One top-rack actuator assembly as shown. Install notes:

• Disconnect power and water supply before starting any repair.
• Follow OEM disassembly steps for access—usually involves removing the top rack and inner paneling to reach the actuator.
• Inspect surrounding mounts and linkages; replace any damaged clips or screws to ensure secure operation.
