Whirlpool wp8268807 Upper Dishrack Wheel

Product Description

The WHIRLPOOL wp8268807 is a genuine OEM upper dishrack wheel designed to restore smooth rack movement in Whirlpool dishwashers. The wheel mounts to the upper dish rack and allows it to slide in and out of the dishwasher tub on the rack rails. Over time, these plastic wheels crack, chip, or seize, causing the rack to drag, tilt, or derail. Replacing a worn wheel with a direct OEM part restores proper rack travel and prevents damage to the tub lining or rack assembly. This part is installed by appliance repair technicians and experienced DIYers.

This wheel is intended for the upper rack position in Whirlpool dishwashers. It is a common wear item in residential dishwasher service and is typically replaced in sets when one wheel shows signs of failure. Refer to the appliance model number tag, usually located on the inner door frame, to confirm fitment before ordering.
