This Right Side Dishrack Side Rail Bracket serves as an original OEM replacement component for a variety of Whirlpool dishwashers. It is specifically designed to fit on the right inner side of the dishwasher tub, ensuring the upper dishrack remains stable during the cleaning process. Constructed from robust plastic, the bracket features ribs to effectively secure the dishrack in position.
Over time, the support for the dishrack may encounter issues, often as a result of repeated impacts from dishes or long-term exposure to moisture, potentially leading to the plastic cracking, breaking, or warping.
Signs indicating the need for replacing the dishrack support include:
- Unusual noises, such as squeaking or rattling, coming from the dishwasher's right side.
- A visibly loose or unstable upper dishrack.
- Items falling from the dishrack during washing cycles.
- Noticeable damage, like cracks or deformation, on the support.
This part is compatible with several other brands within the Whirlpool family, including KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, as well as select models from Kenmore and Maytag.
