The W11516793 is a genuine OEM base assembly foot for Whirlpool dishwashers. This leveling foot supports the full weight of the unit and enables precise height adjustment so your dishwasher sits level, runs quietly, and seals properly against the cabinet. A damaged or missing foot causes rocking during cycles, door misalignment, and potential leaks — this part restores proper stance in one straightforward repair.

✓ Model-Specific Repair Pages

Most Whirlpool dishwashers use four adjustable feet — two at the front and two at the rear. If your unit tilts, rocks during cycles, or sits unevenly on the kitchen floor, replacing the damaged foot with W11516793 restores level support and reduces vibration and noise throughout the wash cycle.

✓ Common Symptoms Fixed

Install W11516793 when your dishwasher shows: wobbling or rocking during operation, dishwasher not level or leaning to one side, unstable base that shifts with use, broken or cracked foot assembly, difficulty achieving proper height adjustment, or door misalignment caused by an uneven base.

✓ Installation Tips

Unplug the dishwasher and turn off the water supply before beginning. Access the base feet from the front kick panel or by tilting the unit. If replacing multiple feet, work in sequence to maintain even support and alignment throughout. Photograph the existing foot position before removal to guide reinstallation. Consult your model’s service manual for torque specs and leveling procedure.
