Symptoms of a bad rack wheel include: 

• Difficulty pulling out or pushing in dish racks  
• A rack that gets stuck and does not fully recline or rise
• Rack trays that cannot pivot to different levels during a cycle
• Reduced wash effectiveness from poor rack positioning

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with some Maytag, KitchenAid, and GE dishwashers.
