This Part Fixes These Problems

Upper Rack Won't Stay at Height

The adjuster arm clip locks the rack adjuster into the selected height position. A broken or cracked clip causes the rack to drop back down immediately after adjustment.

Adjuster Arm Falls Off Rail

When the clip loses its grip or snaps, the adjuster arm detaches from the dishrack rail entirely, making the upper rack impossible to use at different heights.

Rack Wobbles or Is Unstable

A missing or damaged clip allows the upper rack to shift side-to-side and tilt during wash cycles, causing dishes to move and resulting in poor wash performance.

Uneven or Poor Cleaning Results

A misaligned upper rack due to a faulty adjuster arm clip can block spray arm coverage, causing dishes on the upper rack to come out dirty or poorly rinsed.

Product Description

Why Choose Our W10250160 Dishwasher Rack Adjuster Arm Clip?

🔧
Built to OEM SpecificationsEngineered to exact OEM dimensions of WPW10250160 — BPA-free ABS plastic withstands dishwasher heat up to 250°F for long-lasting daily performance.
🔒
Secure Clip-Lock DesignThe positive click-lock mechanism holds the adjuster arm firmly in position on the upper dishrack rail, eliminating wobble and unwanted movement during every wash cycle.
🍽️
Restores Full Rack Height AdjustmentOnce installed, you can freely raise or lower the upper rack to accommodate tall glasses, pots, and large dishes — restoring the height-adjustable feature your dishwasher was designed with.
🏷️
Wide Cross-Brand CompatibilityFits Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper dishwashers sharing the same upper rack adjuster platform.
⚡
Tool-Free, 5-Minute InstallSimply pull out the upper rack, detach the broken clip with a small flat-head screwdriver if needed, and snap the new clip into place — no disassembly of the door or tub required.
💰
Fraction of OEM CostGet the same fit and function as the factory Whirlpool part at a significantly lower price — a smart alternative to buying the entire upper rack assembly or calling a technician.

💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Adjuster Arm Clip the Problem?

Your part is likely the culprit if you notice any of the following:

⚠️ The upper rack will not stay at the selected height and keeps dropping down

⚠️ The adjuster arm falls off or rattles loose during the wash cycle

⚠️ The upper rack wobbles side-to-side or tilts unevenly when loaded

⚠️ Dishes on the upper rack are coming out poorly cleaned due to misalignment

Visually inspect both left and right adjuster arm clips while the rack is pulled out. A cracked, snapped, or missing clip is immediately visible — if either side is damaged, replace both at the same time to ensure even support and prevent the issue from recurring.

Questions & Answers

Does this clip fit both the left and right sides of the upper rack?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. The W10250160 adjuster arm clip is designed to fit both the left and right side adjuster arms on compatible Whirlpool-platform dishwashers. We recommend replacing both sides at the same time if one is broken, as they experience equal wear.
How do I know if my dishwasher model is compatible?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
This clip is compatible with most Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, and related brand dishwashers that use the height-adjustable upper rack system. Check your model number against our compatibility list or contact us with your model number and we'll confirm the fit.
My upper rack keeps dropping down even with the adjuster pressed — is this the right part to fix it?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
In most cases, yes. When the upper rack drops immediately after you set the height, the adjuster arm clip (W10250160) is the first part to inspect. It's the small plastic clip that locks the adjuster arm in position. If it's cracked or missing, replacing it will restore proper height-hold function. If the problem persists after replacement, also check the adjuster arm (W10195839) and positioner (W10195840).
Is this a genuine OEM part or an aftermarket replacement?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
This is a high-quality aftermarket replacement part manufactured to OEM specifications. It is not made by Whirlpool but is engineered to the same dimensional tolerances and heat-resistance standards as the original WPW10250160. It uses BPA-free ABS plastic rated for dishwasher temperatures up to 250°F.
How many clips do I need to order for a full repair?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
A standard dishwasher upper rack has two adjuster arm clips — one on each side. If both clips are damaged or worn, we recommend ordering two units. Some customers also order a spare set given the low cost, as these clips can wear out over time with frequent rack adjustment.
