Whirlpool Dishrack Wheel Assembly WP99002780 OEM Part

Whirlpool produces a variety of products across multiple brands, including Whirlpool, Amana, KitchenAid, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Magic Chef, Roper, and Admiral. Their manufacturing capability also extends to items for Sears-Kenmore and Ikea. Among these products is the Dishrack Wheel Assembly, an OEM replacement component crafted by Whirlpool to facilitate the seamless movement of the lower dishwasher rack. Constructed from durable white plastic, this roller measures less than two inches in diameter, incorporating a wheel and axle for precise fitting. It typically requires replacement when the dishwasher emits unusual noises, or if the lower rack encounters jamming or sticking issues.

To install the new roller, start by opening the dishwasher and removing the lower rack. Identify the locking tab on the existing roller, rotate it, and slide the roller out. The new roller can then be aligned with the shaft and securely clicked into place, all without requiring tools. For consistent and efficient performance, it’s recommended to replace both sets of rollers at the same time, as they usually wear evenly. Each roller is sold separately, and as authentic OEM parts, they assure both compatibility and dependable performance.
