The Upper Dishrack Wheel is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This wheel attaches to the upper dishrack, allowing it to slide in and out smoothly along the dishwasher rails. It ensures easy access to the upper rack for loading and unloading dishes, contributing to the overall functionality of the dishwasher.
Over time, the upper dishrack wheel can wear out or become damaged. Causes of a bad dishrack wheel can include frequent use, heavy loads on the dishrack, or accidental damage during loading or unloading.
Symptoms of a bad Upper Dishrack Wheel include:
- The upper dishrack not sliding smoothly or becoming stuck
- Unusual noises when moving the dishrack
- The dishrack becoming misaligned or wobbling
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
