This Part Fixes These Problems

Upper Rack Won't Stay Up

The upper rack drops to the lower position on its own or fails to hold at the desired height after adjustment — caused by a broken or cracked positioner clip that can no longer grip the adjuster arm.

Adjuster Arm Falls Off

The rack height adjuster arm detaches from the rack during loading or unloading because the positioner that secures it to the dishrack frame has snapped or gone missing.

Rack Slides Unevenly or with Resistance

The upper rack tilts to one side, feels stiff, or makes clicking/grinding noises when sliding in and out — often caused by a damaged positioner causing the adjuster assembly to misalign on one side.

Visible Broken Plastic Clip on Rack

A cracked, snapped, or missing plastic clip is visible on the upper rack side rail assembly. This positioner clip holds the adjuster arm in the correct orientation and must be replaced to restore normal rack function.

Product Description

Why Choose Our W10195840 Dishwasher Rack Adjuster Positioner?

🔧
Built to OEM SpecificationsEngineered to match original W10195840 / WPW10195840 dimensions: 1-3/16"L × 3/8"W × 1-7/8"H, gray glossy finish — drop-in replacement with zero modification needed.
🏠
Wide Cross-Brand CompatibilityFits Whirlpool, KitchenAid, Kenmore, Maytag, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, and Roper dishwasher models — one part covers dozens of popular brands.
🔥
High-Temp ABS Plastic ConstructionMade from BPA-free, heat-resistant ABS plastic with excellent wear resistance and non-cracking construction — rated for continuous operation at temperatures up to 250°F inside the dishwasher environment.
⚙️
Restores Smooth Rack Height AdjustmentThe positioner clip securely holds the adjuster arm in the correct position on the upper dishrack, allowing effortless height switching to accommodate tall pots, pans, and large dishware.
🛠️
Tool-Free Installation — No Skills RequiredSimply pull out the upper rack, remove the old broken positioner, align the new one on the rack wire frame, and snap into place. No screwdrivers or special tools needed — typically done in under 10 minutes.
💰
Save vs. OEM — Same Fit, Fraction of the CostOEM WPW10195840 retails for ~$39.49 per single unit. Our aftermarket replacement delivers the same precise fit and function at a significantly lower price — ideal for replacing all four positioners at once.

💡 Pro Tip: Is Your Upper Rack Adjuster Positioner Failing?

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

⚠️ Upper rack drops down unexpectedly or will not stay at the selected height position

⚠️ Adjuster arm keeps falling off or feels loose when moving the rack in and out

⚠️ Unusual resistance, grinding, or clicking sounds when sliding the upper rack

⚠️ Visible crack, break, or missing plastic clip on the side of the upper rack assembly

👨‍🔧 Technician Tip: Inspect both left and right side positioners at the same time — they wear at the same rate. Replacing both sides together prevents one-sided sag and uneven rack loading. If the adjuster arm (W10195839) also appears worn or cracked, replace it alongside the positioner for a complete fix.

Questions & Answers

Does W10195840 fit both the left and right sides of the upper rack?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Mar 15, 2024
Yes. The W10195840 / WPW10195840 adjuster positioner is designed to be used on both the right and left sides of the upper dishrack. Most dishwasher models require two positioners per side (four total on the rack). We recommend replacing all worn positioners at the same time to ensure even support and prevent one-sided sagging.
What is the difference between W10195840 and WPW10195840?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Nov 20, 2023
W10195840 is the original part number that has been superseded by WPW10195840 — the updated OEM part number issued by Whirlpool. They are functionally identical and interchangeable. Our aftermarket replacement is cross-compatible with both numbers and all associated superseded part numbers including W10418323, AP6016800, 1872228, and PS11750093.
My Kenmore dishwasher model starts with 665 — will this part fit?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jan 8, 2025
Yes. Kenmore 665-series dishwashers are manufactured by Whirlpool and use the same rack adjuster positioner as Whirlpool and KitchenAid models. Confirmed compatible Kenmore models include 66513042K110 through K116, 66513269K114, 66513362K111, 66515049K111, and many more. Please verify your full model number if you are unsure.
Do I need any tools to install this positioner?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Jul 22, 2024
No tools are required. Installation is a simple snap-on process. Pull out the upper rack, lower any nearby tines, remove any hanging baskets if needed, then align the new positioner on the rack wire frame and press firmly until all tabs click into place. The entire repair typically takes 5–10 minutes. It is recommended to replace both sides at the same time for even wear.
Should I also replace the adjuster strap guide (W10195839) at the same time?
Answered by Support Team  ·  Feb 10, 2026
We strongly recommend it. The W10195839 adjuster strap guide and the W10195840 positioner work together as a paired assembly on each side of the upper rack. Since they experience the same mechanical stress and wear rate, replacing both components together ensures a complete and lasting repair. Replacing only the positioner while leaving a worn strap guide in place can lead to repeat failures within a short period.

We typically respond within 1 business day. Include your appliance model number for the fastest answer.
