Bosch Dishwasher Lower Rack Wheel Parts — Models & Compatibility

That grinding sound when you slide your Bosch dishwasher rack in and out? It's usually these lower rack wheels wearing down to plastic nubs. The 165314 replacement wheel fits over 100 Bosch, Kenmore, Gaggenau, and Thermador dishwasher models — everything from the SHX series to the premium SHV models. This hub covers which models take this part and how to verify compatibility before you order.

Is This the Right Part for Your Model?

Check your model number on the side edge of the dishwasher door or on the front panel when you open the door. Match it against the compatibility list below. This wheel works across Bosch's major dishwasher lines including the SHX, SHU, SHV, SHE, and SHY series. It also replaces older part numbers 00165314, AP2802428, 420198, 423232, and PS3439123 — so if you've got any of those numbers written down from previous repairs, you're looking at the same wheel.

About This Replacement Part

These lower rack wheels take a beating. They support the entire weight of your dishes while rolling on metal tracks thousands of times over the dishwasher's life. Eventually the plastic wears down, the wheels crack, or they start binding up. You'll notice the rack doesn't glide smoothly anymore — it catches, jerks, or makes grinding noises. Sometimes the rack tilts because one wheel has worn more than the others. The 165314 is the OEM-spec replacement that restores smooth rolling action. It's the same wheel Bosch installs at the factory, just without the premium packaging markup.

Compatible Model Series

This wheel fits Bosch dishwashers across multiple series. Below you'll find the most common models, though this part works with many more:

• SHX Series: Including SHX46A05UC, SHX46B05UC, SHX56B05UC, SHX43E05UC — Bosch's mainstream full-console models
• SHU Series: Including SHU43C02UC, SHU43C05UC, SHU43C06UC, SHU66C05UC, SHU9915UC, SHU9925UC, SHU9955UC — undercounter and built-in models
• SHV Series: Including SHV46C03UC, SHV66A03UC, SHV56C03UC — panel-ready and custom models
• SHE Series: Including SHE43M02UC, SHE43C02UC — entry-level and mid-range models
• SHY Series: Including SHY56A05UC, SHY66C05UC — integrated and fully concealed models

Installation Overview

You don't need special tools for this one. Pull out the lower rack completely. Flip it over. Each wheel snaps onto a mounting post — there's usually a small clip or tab you press to release the old wheel. Pop the new wheel onto the post until it clicks into place. Test that it spins freely before you reinstall the rack. If you're replacing one worn wheel, consider replacing all of them at once so they wear evenly going forward.

Cross-Brand Compatibility

While this is primarily a Bosch part, it also fits select Kenmore, Gaggenau, and Thermador dishwashers that share Bosch's platform architecture. Kenmore models in the 630 series often use these same wheels. Gaggenau and Thermador both use Bosch components in many of their dishwashers since they're all under the BSH Home Appliances umbrella. Always verify your specific model number before ordering.
