W10195416 Dishwasher Lower Dish Rack Wheel - Pack of 4

Key Features

• High-Temperature Structural Polymer: Manufactured from a specialized heat-resistant plastic designed to withstand the intense thermal stress of "Sani-Rinse" and "High-Temp Wash" cycles without warping or becoming brittle.
• Smooth-Glide Bearing Surface: Features a precision-molded internal axle interface that ensures the lower rack rolls effortlessly over the tub tracks, even when fully loaded with heavy stoneware and pots.
• Integrated Snap-Lock Clips: Designed with a tool-free "snap-on" mounting system that clicks securely onto the lower rack wire frame, providing a stable fit that resists vibration and sudden impacts.
• Corrosion-Proof Construction: 100% rust-proof materials ensure the rollers will not degrade or seize up in the harsh chemical environment of modern dishwasher detergents and rinse aids.
• Complete 4-Piece Maintenance Kit: This value pack allows for the simultaneous replacement of all four primary lower rack wheels, restoring the level balance and smooth tracking of your dishwasher rack.

• Note: Specifically for the Lower Rack. If you need wheels for the upper rack, the mounting bracket and wheel size will be different.

When to Replace

• Rack Jumping Off Track: The lower rack constantly derails or falls into the bottom of the tub, usually because one or more wheels have snapped off or the hubs have worn down.
• Loud Grinding Noise: A grating or squeaking sound when pulling the rack out indicates the internal plastic bearings have seized or flattened.
• Wheels Falling Off: The snap-on clips have become brittle from heat and age, causing the wheels to detach and sit in the bottom of the dishwasher.
• Uneven Rack Level: The rack sits at an angle, making it difficult to load dishes properly or causing the spray arm to hit the rack.
• Melted or Deformed Wheels: Visible damage from the heating element or long-term exposure to high-heat drying cycles.

Installation Tips

• Safety First: Ensure the dishwasher is off. You do not need to unplug the unit for this mechanical repair. Pull the lower rack completely out of the machine and place it on a flat surface.
• Remove the Old Wheel: If the old wheel is still attached, use a small flat-head screwdriver to gently pry the plastic clip away from the rack wire. Be careful not to bend the wire frame.
• Clean the Rack Wire: Before snapping on the new W10195416 wheel, wipe the wire attachment point clean of any old food particles or mineral buildup to ensure a tight "click" fit.
• Orient the Clip: Align the wheel so the clip faces the interior of the rack. Press firmly until you hear a distinct "snap." Repeat for all four corners to ensure a level glide.
• Check the Tub Tracks: While the rack is out, check the metal tracks inside the dishwasher tub for any debris or obstructions that could cause the new wheels to jump or wear prematurely.
