Parts for Maytag MDB5969SDM2: 11 - 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

This replacement lower dishrack restores the main loading surface in your dishwasher so dishes sit securely and spray reaches them for better cleaning. It replaces a cracked, rusted, or misshapen rack to help protect dishes and keep loading organized. What it does

• Replaces bent or rusted rack wires that can snag or chip dishes
• Helps keep utensil baskets and rollers aligned for smooth rack movement

• One lower dishrack

• If rails or rollers are damaged, replace those parts as well for proper rack operation

The Lower Dishrack Wheel Assembly is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers, designed to ensure the smooth and easy movement of the lower dishrack in and out of the dishwasher. This assembly includes the wheel and the mount that attaches to the dishrack, allowing effortless gliding even when the rack is fully loaded with dishes.  

Note: Lower dishrack roller assembly, gray, (4) required to replace them all. Sold individually.

Symptoms of a failing Lower Dishrack Wheel Assembly include:

• The dishrack sticking or struggling to slide in and out
• A wheel breaking off or becoming damaged, leading to uneven movement
• Noise during dishrack movement, indicating wear or damage to the wheels

Causes of a bad Lower Dishrack Wheel Assembly can range from normal wear and tear, which can lead to the degradation of the wheel material or the loosening of the mount, to overloading the dishrack, which puts excess pressure on the wheels and their attachments. 

This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
