Parts for Maytag MDB4709AWS3: 10 - Lower Rack Parts

The Affresh Dishwasher Cleaner is an OEM accessory designed specifically for Whirlpool brand dishwashers. This citrus-scented tablet removes residue, odor-causing soils, and food particles from the dishwasher tub and gasket area during the cleaning cycle. Symptoms of a buildup include unwanted odors emanating from the dishwasher, especially after opening the door. Over time, residue and grime accumulate in hard-to-reach areas and provide an environment for mold and mildew growth.

Regular cleaning helps prevent this by removing leftover soils before they harden or encourage bacterial activity. The Affresh tablet utilizes a unique blend of cleaning ingredients that target soils and biofilms through a combination of powerful scrubbing action and natural cleaning enzymes.

As the #1 recommended dishwasher cleaner brand, Affresh is also compatible for use in Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and select Kenmore dishwashers for consistent cleanliness and freshness. The package includes six tablets 4.2 ounces

The Wheel is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. This component is typically found on the lower or upper rack and allows the rack to slide in and out smoothly for easy loading and unloading of dishes. 

You should replace the wheel if it becomes worn, cracked, or broken. Causes of a bad wheel can include regular wear and tear from frequent use, damage from heavy loads or sharp objects, and material fatigue over time. A damaged wheel can hinder the movement of the racks and affect the loading and unloading process.

Symptoms of a bad wheel include:

• Difficulty sliding the dishwasher rack in and out
• The rack getting stuck or not aligning properly on the tracks
• Visible cracks, breaks, or wear on the wheel
• Unusual noises when moving the rack

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

This silverware basket organizes utensils in the lower rack of your dishwasher so water can reach them evenly. Replacing a cracked or missing basket keeps small items contained and helps prevent interference with the spray arm.

• Holds cutlery and small utensils upright during wash and rinse cycles
• Keeps small items from falling through the rack or onto the heater
• Replace if the basket is cracked, warped, melted, or missing sections
• May help with utensils tipping over, rattling, or blocking the spray arm

• Remove the lower rack, lift out the old basket, and position the new basket in the same location
• Ensure the basket does not obstruct the spray arm and the rack rolls freely
• Handle sharp utensil tips carefully; install with the dishwasher cool and empty
