Dishwasher Upper Rack Broken, Rusted, or Collapsed? Upper Rack W11752368 – OEM Replacement for Whirlpool Dishwashers
If your Whirlpool dishwasher’s upper rack has broken tines, rust spots, or has collapsed off its tracks, a full rack replacement is the only reliable fix — tine repair kits are a temporary patch on a structural problem. In most Whirlpool dishwashers, rack failure is caused by years of heat cycling, detergent exposure, and physical stress on the vinyl-coated wire tines. When the coating cracks, rust spreads rapidly and tines snap under load — dishes tip, glasses break, and the rack can derail mid-cycle. ⚡ Common wear item in Whirlpool dishwashers after 5–10 years of use. Part W11752368 is the genuine OEM upper rack assembly that restores full capacity, proper dish positioning, and smooth track operation immediately.
❓ Is This the Right Part?
This is the correct replacement if ANY of the following are true:
- ✔ Upper rack tines are broken, bent, or missing — dishes no longer sit securely
- ✔ Rack coating is cracked or peeling — rust spots visible on wire frame
- ✔ Rack derails from tracks or doesn’t slide smoothly in and out
- ✔ Rack has collapsed or is structurally deformed from a heavy load

🔧 Common Reasons to Replace
- Broken or snapped tines — glasses and cups tip and fall during cycles
- Rust bleeding onto dishes — orange staining on plates and glassware
- Rack won’t stay on tracks — derails when loaded or pulled out
- Vinyl coating peeling in large sections — rust accelerating underneath
- Rack sags or flexes under normal load — structural integrity compromised
- Spray arm blocked by collapsed rack — poor wash results throughout
✔ If any of these match, a full rack replacement is the correct and most cost-effective fix.
✔ In most cases, installing this rack restores full dishwasher capacity and performance immediately.

If the upper rack tracks or rollers are worn, also replace the Upper Rack Track Assembly — a new rack on worn tracks will derail within weeks and the tracks are far cheaper to replace now than after a second disassembly. Check the track rollers for flat spots or cracking while the rack is out.
⚙️ Installation
Skill Level: EASY — 5–10 minutes, no tools required. Open the dishwasher and pull the old upper rack fully out until it releases from the tracks. Lift it free and set aside. Align the new W11752368 rack with the track rails on both sides and slide it in until the rollers seat fully on the tracks. Pull the rack in and out several times to confirm smooth operation before loading dishes.

💡 Pro Tip
Before sliding in the new rack, run your finger along both track rails and inspect the plastic rollers on the old rack. If the rails have cracks, warping, or the rollers are flat and brittle, replace the tracks at the same time — a new rack on damaged tracks will derail under load and the tracks cost a fraction of the rack. Also check that the upper spray arm is clear and spinning freely before closing the door — a blocked spray arm is often caused by a collapsed rack and is easy to miss after the rack is replaced.
