The Lower Dish Rack is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It serves as the bottom rack of the dishwasher, providing space to organize and hold larger dishes, pots, pans, and other items securely during the wash cycle. Its design ensures optimal water flow for efficient cleaning.
Causes of a bad Lower Dish Rack can include wear and tear from frequent use, exposure to high temperatures and moisture, or damage from heavy or improperly placed items. Rust, bending, or breaking of the rack’s tines are common issues over time.
Symptoms of a bad Lower Dish Rack include:
- Difficulty sliding the rack in and out smoothly
- Rust, peeling, or visible damage to the rack or tines
- Dishes falling over or not staying in place during cycles
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
