DifficultyEasy

Typical time5 to 15 minutes

ToolsSmall flat screwdriver

Safety. Unplug the dishwasher and turn the water off before you start. Keep towels and a tray ready for trapped water.

Signs it has failed

Racks that stick or drag when pulled
A rack that tips or comes off its runners
Missing or cracked wheels
Noise when the rack is moved

Check before you buy

Pull the rack out and look for missing or broken wheels
Check the rails for damage or build-up
Look for rust on the rack where the wheel mounts

What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your dishwasher and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).

How to replace it

Remove the rack from the dishwasher
Prise off any damaged wheels or release the clips
Clip or snap the new wheels onto the studs
Refit the rack and check it runs smoothly

Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.

Getting the right part

Wheels vary by size and clip type. Match the part number or your model and buy a full set.

Check your model number first. It is on the rating plate — usually inside the door frame, on the back or side panel, or inside the appliance. Parts that look identical often differ by model, so match the number to the listing before you order.
