The essential fix for a Whirlpool dishwasher with a lower rack that won't roll smoothly, falls off the track, is hard to slide in and out, makes grinding or squeaking noises, or has broken or missing roller wheels.
The lower dishrack roller assembly is the wheel and axle mechanism that attaches to the lower rack, allowing it to glide smoothly in and out of the dishwasher tub on the track rails. This kit includes the roller wheel and axle made from high-strength, heat-resistant polymer for durability and quiet operation.
Common symptoms: lower rack does not roll smoothly, rack falls off track, rack is hard to slide in or out, grinding or squeaking noise when moving rack, broken or missing roller wheel, rack wobbles or tilts.
Why it fails: Over 5–10 years of use, the roller wheels crack from heat stress and heavy dish loads, the wheel separates from the axle, or the axle wears down causing the wheel to wobble or fall off. When rollers fail, the rack binds on the track, falls off completely, or becomes difficult to move — making loading and unloading dishes frustrating.
How to diagnose: Pull the lower rack out and inspect the roller wheels at each corner. If any wheel is cracked, missing, wobbling, or not spinning freely, replace it with this genuine OEM roller assembly.
Compatible with: Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Maytag, and Kenmore dishwashers.
Installation: Easy 10–15 minute DIY repair. Simply remove old roller and snap new one into place. Sold individually.
IMPORTANT: This is a genuine OEM Whirlpool part. Only use OEM rollers for proper fit and rack stability. Always disconnect power before servicing.
