The Track Assembly is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. As the guide rail that the lower rack rolls along, this track plays an essential role in properly positioning dishes within the unit.
Causes of a faulty track can include normal wear from extended use, damage from heavy loads or impacts, or failures of the mounting brackets.
Symptoms of a bad track include:
- Difficulty sliding or rolling the rack in/out
- Noisy or scratching sounds during rack movement
- Rack malpositioning or misalignment inside the tub
- Cracks, splits, or broken sections along the track
This Whirlpool OEM part is compatible with additional appliance brands including Maytag, KitchenAid, and Jenn-Air.
