Easy to replace.
Now my bottom basket moves without having to find a wheel that has come off my 18 years old dish washer which still works like a charm; I use Cascade Platinum tabs which eliminates the need for a rinse agent, as my rinse agent dispenser hasn't worked for years..

Easy but necessary repair.
3 of the 8 wheels on my lower rack had broken off. My machine is 16 years old and has worked excellent, The heat and hard water did a number on the wheels but it was super easy to replace all of them and am looking forward to another 16 years from my dishwasher!

A reasonable substitute
This part is a substitute for the original which always makes me nervous. The parts were in good condition although the new wheel and axle appear a little more loose than the original factory part. It still works better than the old axle which finally broke. The price was reasonable, the process of identifying the appropriate replacement part was easy and delivery was fast. I would make this purchase again.

Lower rack wheel was melted

Unsnapped clip,and moved it 90 degrees. Slip wheel and clip off. Installed clip on new wheel. replaced new wheel. The wheel did not come with a new clip and was not suggested on the parts list. The existing clip was still OK but if it was not, I would have had to order a clip and wait. All in all, a good experience.

The wheels came with a clip on part that clipped to the rack and the wheel snapped into that clip. I am a woman and it was easy for me to do. Thanks to Parts Select for being an easy to use and navigate site, for quick shipment and for good directions with the parts. Sincerely, Teresa from Alabama.

Just pulled off the old wheel. I just had to push in the stud to the wheel and pushed it on to the rack of the dishwasher. Very easy repair!

Removal/Replacement couldn't be easier - it is helpful to use needle-nose pliers to get the old axles out. The new ones just snap in. Wheels stay on just fine. The rack is designed to r

We considered buying a new lower rack for the dishwasher which we were told was a new dishwasher when we took over the house. The wheels were constantly falling off when sliding out the tray. They wobbled as well. With the weight of dishes in the rack and malfunctioning wheels, it was a disaster! We found your site on the internet and i

I need to change all the rollers and axels on my bottom rack according to my neighbor but I don’t know how many rollers there are supposed to be on the bottom rack and I don’t know how many “kits” I need to order. Pls help
Hello Darleen, no problem, we can help! On the lower dishrack in your dishwasher there are 4 rollers on each side, bringing the total rollers or wheels up to 8. Each wheel/roller also needs an axel. This kit comes with 8 rollers and 8 axels. That means you should order only one of these kits if you wish to replace all the rollers and axels on your lower dishrack. I hope this helped.

I purchased this kit for the lower rack on my dishwasher (GE) as you suggested and the axels are different then the ones on my dw. The ones on my dw snap in on the side at an angle but the new ones fit straight onto the rack. Will these ones still work? Thanks
Hi Terry, the studs in the lower rack wheel kit WD35X21038 were redesigned by the manufacturer. They may look different but they are compatible with your model, and will work for your lower dishrack. Best of luck with this repair!

I do not understand hwo to attach the wheel to it the axel and to attach the axel to the dishwasher. Help?!
Hi Cory, great question! On your lower dishrack, you have 8 wheels/rollers and 8 axels. The axels are inserted into the wheels/rollers. Once the wheel is stable and attached, the other end of the axel fastens onto the lower dishrack. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

I need some help deciding between this wheel pack kit and the single wheel part number: Ps259136 when i only need one wheel at this time. Other wheels are loose and often come off when sliding lower rack in and out of dishwasher. Are the wheels in this kit equal in size to the single wheel?
Hi Edward,
Thank you for your question. The wheels in the kit are the same size as the wheel that is sold individually. They would both work with your lower dishrack. So it just depends if you want to buy a package of them or just singular parts. I hope that helps. Good luck with your repair.

Why is my lower rack on dishwasher rusting?
Hi Arlene, Thank you for the question.Unfortunately I can not say why your rack is rusting for sure. It could have has a split or defect in the coating and water got into the metal parts and rusted. Hope this helps!

Why does the bottom rack crash when opening?
Hi Helen,
Thank you for your inquiry. The rack may not be secured to the track correctly. There should be no crashing when you open the door. I would check to make sure it is secure on the track and to see if there is any issue with the rack as well. I hope this helps. Thank you and have a great day!

I recently purchased a home with a Kenmore elite ultra wash dishwasher. There are two model #s on the use & care guide (listed above). Most of the wheels from the bottom rack are missing. I need a replacement wheel set, but couldn't find anything to match the model #s on my documentation. Please recommend the proper parts.
Hello Joe, thank you for writing. The model numbers you provided are partial with multiple variations using some different parts. We will need the rest of the model number to look into this. There should be at least five more characters after what numbers you already provided that will determine which parts list to use. Here is a link to some tips on our website for locating the model number for your dishwasher. https://www.partselect.com/Find-Your-Dishwasher-Model-Number.aspx. We look forward to hearing back from you!
