The Lower Dishrack is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It provides a sturdy shelf for placing pots, pans, plates, and other dishware on the bottom level of the dishwasher interior. The lower dishrack supports dish loads, holding them securely in place during the wash cycles. 

Causes of a failing lower dishrack include long-term wear and tear, corrosion from exposure to water and detergents, damage from improper loading, and loose or broken components.

Symptoms of a bad lower dishrack:

• Difficulty sliding the rack in and out
• The rack getting stuck mid-cycle
• Broken or missing wheels/rollers
• Rust formation
• Bent or misshapen wires

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.
