Dishwasher Upper Rack Broken or Warped? Upper Rack AHB73249226 – Fix Rack Failure Fast
A broken, warped, or collapsed dishwasher upper rack makes it impossible to load dishes properly and can damage spray arms during the wash cycle. In most LG dishwashers, this is caused by a failed upper rack assembly with cracked tines, broken wheels, or a bent frame. When it fails, dishes tip over mid-cycle, glassware chips, and water distribution is blocked by improperly positioned items. ⚡ Common failure point in LG-built dishwashers. Part AHB73249226 is the genuine OEM replacement that restores full rack capacity, proper dish positioning, and unobstructed spray arm coverage.

This is the correct fix if ALL of the following are true:
- ✔ Dishwasher powers on and runs cycles normally
- ✔ Spray arms, pump, and drain function correctly
- ✔ Water supply and inlet valve confirmed OK

While the upper rack is out, inspect the upper rack wheels and rail clips. If the wheels are cracked or the rail clips are broken, replace them at the same time — worn wheels are often what caused the rack to fail in the first place.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: EASY — 5–10 minutes. No tools required. Open the dishwasher door, pull the old upper rack out along the rails until it disengages, slide the new rack onto the rails until it clicks into place, and test for smooth movement. No disconnection of power is required for this repair.

💡 Pro Tip
Upper rack failures often go hand-in-hand with worn lower rack wheels and axles. While the upper rack is out and you have clear access, inspect the lower rack rollers for cracks or flat spots. Replacing both at the same time saves a second service call and keeps the entire rack system running smoothly.
