Dishwasher Rack Not Rolling? Upper Rack Wheel 00611666 – Fix Rattle & Misalignment Fast
A worn upper rack wheel is the #1 cause of dishwasher rack rattle, misalignment, and difficult loading. In most Bosch dishwashers, the upper rack rides on a set of plastic wheels that degrade over time — when they crack or break, the rack drops, wobbles, and can damage dishes or the tub interior. ⚡ Common failure point in Bosch-built dishwashers across SGI, SGS, SHE, SHX, and SHU series. Part 00611666 is the genuine OEM replacement wheel that restores smooth, quiet, properly aligned rack operation immediately.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Your dishwasher powers on and runs cycles normally
- ✔ The lower rack and spray arms function correctly
- ✔ Water supply and drain are confirmed OK
- ✔ The wash cycle completes — dishes just aren't loading/sitting right
- ✔ ONLY problem is the upper rack rattling, drooping, or not rolling smoothly

🔧 Common Symptoms
- Upper rack rattles loudly during the wash cycle

- Rack is hard to slide in or out — catches or drags
- Visible cracked, broken, or missing wheel on the rack rail
- Rack falls off the track when pulled out fully
- Dishes on the upper rack come out poorly washed due to rack misalignment
✔ If these symptoms match, a failed upper rack wheel is the most likely cause.
✔ In most cases, replacing this wheel restores smooth, quiet rack operation immediately — no tools required.

While the rack is out, inspect the rack adjuster clips and rail end caps — these wear at the same rate as the wheels and are inexpensive to replace together. Doing both in one visit saves a second service call.
⚙️ Installation

Pull the upper rack fully out, locate the worn or broken wheel on the rack rail, snap the old wheel off, and press the new 00611666 wheel firmly into place until it clicks.

💡 Pro Tip
Upper rack wheels typically fail in pairs — if one is cracked or broken, the opposite wheel is close behind. Order two units now and replace both sides in a single 10-minute job. It's the same labour cost and eliminates a repeat repair within months.
