Description
The Upper Wheel is an OEM part for Whirlpool dishwashers. It facilitates the smooth movement of the upper dishwasher rack, allowing for easy loading and unloading of dishes. This wheel ensures that the rack glides in and out efficiently, providing stability and support.
Over time, the upper wheel can wear out or become damaged due to frequent use or the weight of the dishes. Causes of a bad upper wheel include wear from regular use, damage from overloading the rack, or debris causing obstruction.
Symptoms of a bad upper wheel include:
- Difficulty in moving the upper rack
- The rack not sliding smoothly or coming off the track
- Unusual noises when moving the rack
- The rack tilting or not sitting properly in the dishwasher
This OEM part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
