Parts for Whirlpool WDP540HAMB2: 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.
