About This Replacement Part

The lower dishrack wheel assembly is what allows your bottom rack to glide in and out smoothly. Over time, these wheels can fall off entirely or even melt from heat exposure during the drying cycle — a surprisingly common failure that leaves your rack stuck or grinding against the tub. When this happens, you'll hear scraping noises, struggle to close the door properly, or find your dishes aren't cleaning evenly because the rack won't position correctly. One user reported: "Wheel fell off and melted." The good news? Replacing these wheels takes less than 15 minutes with just a screwdriver, and most people find installation straightforward. As another customer noted: "Part arrived on time. Fit right. Works right."

Compatible KitchenAid & Maytag Models

This wheel assembly works across multiple brands within the Whirlpool family. Below are the most common KitchenAid and Maytag models that use this part:

Installation Overview

You don't need to be a pro to swap these wheels. Pull out the lower rack, locate the old wheel assembly on the side rail, remove the mounting screw, pop off the old wheel, and snap the new one into place. Tighten the screw and you're done. No need to disconnect water lines or move the dishwasher.

Common Symptoms That Point to Bad Wheels

• Rack won't glide smoothly: Wheels have worn down or fallen off completely
• Scraping or grinding noise: Metal rack rubbing directly against the tub
• Door won't close fully: Misaligned rack preventing proper latch engagement
• Poor cleaning performance: Rack sitting at wrong angle, blocking spray arm
• Visible damage: Melted plastic wheels or missing wheel assemblies

What's Included

Each W10195416V kit includes the complete wheel assembly with mounting hardware. You'll typically need to replace all wheel assemblies (usually four per dishwasher) at the same time, since they wear at similar rates. This listing is for one assembly, so order the quantity you need based on how many are damaged.

Why Choose This Replacement?

This isn't a flimsy aftermarket substitute. The W10195416V matches OEM specifications and restores your rack to like-new performance. At $45.99, it's a fraction of what you'd pay for a service call, and since installation takes under 15 minutes, you'll have your dishwasher back in action the same day the part arrives.
