Description

This tube cap assembly replaces a damaged or missing plastic cap on a dishwasher rack tube to restore secure rack support and smooth sliding. It helps keep the rack aligned and prevents rattling or snagging during cycles. What it does:

• Covers the open end of a rack tube to protect dishes and prevent items from catching
• Keeps the rack roller/socket area sealed and stable for steadier movement
• Prevents water/soil buildup inside the tube end that can cause corrosion or odors
• Reduces rattling or misalignment caused by a cracked or missing cap

What's included: One tube cap assembly, single piece as shown Install notes:

• Disconnect power to the dishwasher before starting any repairs; pull the lower rack out for access
• Remove the old cap by pulling it off the tube; press the replacement onto the tube until it seats firmly
• Check rack movement and alignment after installing; reassemble rack components and restore power
• If the tube or surrounding hardware is damaged, replace those parts as needed rather than forcing the cap
