The Lower Dishwasher Rack Assembly is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This part holds and organizes dishes, pots, and pans in the lower section of the dishwasher, ensuring they are properly positioned for effective cleaning.

Causes of a bad lower rack can include wear and tear from regular use, exposure to harsh detergents or high temperatures, and physical damage from heavy or improperly loaded items. 

Symptoms of a bad lower dishwasher rack assembly include:

• Rust or corrosion on the rack
• Broken or missing tines
• Difficulty sliding the rack in and out
• Poor arrangement of dishes, leading to ineffective cleaning

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This replacement dishrack restores secure loading and proper spacing so wash water reaches every item. Replacing a bent or rusty rack helps prevent tipped dishes and marks from flaking rust, and keeps loading/unloading smooth when the rack rollers are intact.

• Holds plates, bowls, and cups in place during wash and rinse cycles
• Maintains spacing for spray coverage and drying airflow
• Rolls in and out along the rails when paired with functional rack rollers
• Common symptoms include broken or bent tines, flaking coating or rust, items tipping, or difficulty sliding the rack

• Disconnect power to the dishwasher before servicing
• Open the door, pull the rack forward, release rack stops/end caps if present, and slide the old rack off the rails
• Transfer any reusable accessories from the old rack to the new rack as required by your model
• Slide the new rack onto the rails, reinstall rack stops, and verify smooth travel before running a cycle
