The Rack Stop is an OEM part for Frigidaire dishwashers. It serves an important purpose by preventing loaded dishes from shifting forward during wash cycles.
Causes of a bad rack stop can include wear and tear from regularly loading and unloading dishes, as well as minor impacts that cause cracks or breaks. Over time, the mounting screws may also loosen.
Symptoms of a bad rack stop include:
- Dishes shifting forward during wash cycles
- Gaps appearing around the dish rack where dishes are not fully secured
- Noise from dishes banging together or rattling around more than usual
- Potential damage to more delicate dishware
This OEM Frigidaire part is also compatible with Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator and some Kenmore models.
