Whirlpool WPW10261335 Dishwasher Lower Rack Wheel & Bracket Assembly

Genuine OEM Lower Dish Rack Roller Wheel Clip Assembly

Product Overview

The Whirlpool WPW10261335 is a genuine OEM dishwasher lower dish rack wheel and bracket assembly (also known as a lower rack roller or wheel clip assembly). Clipped directly onto the wire frame at the lower corners of the bottom dish rack, this dual-roller wheel module guides the rack smoothly along the tub side rails and door tracks when loading and unloading plates, pots, and heavy cookware.

As an Authentic Whirlpool Factory Certified Replacement Component , this lower rack wheel assembly directly replaces older or cross-referenced catalog part numbers including W10261335 , 1872131 , AH3407021 , AP6018090 , EA3407021 , EAP11751390 , and PS11751390 . Precision-molded from heat-stabilized, high-durability polymer resin, it is engineered to withstand continuous exposure to scalding water temperatures, high wash pump pressure, and heavy rack loads without warping or popping off the wire frame.

When to Replace the Lower Rack Wheel Assembly

• Dish Rack Jerks, Stalls, or Off-Track: The lower dish rack catches, tilts, or falls off its guide track when rolling in and out of the tub basin.
• Missing, Cracked, or Wobbly Wheels: Individual wheel rollers have cracked, broken off their axle pins, or developed flat spots that prevent smooth rolling.
• Broken Plastic Mounting Clip Tabs: The retention tabs that snap onto the wire rack frame have snapped or stretched out, causing the wheel assembly to fall off into the tub floor during wash cycles.
• Hard-to-Push Lower Rack Under Load: Heavy loads of dishes cause the rack to drag directly against the tub door or liner because worn wheel axles are binding.

Professional Installation & Handling Guidelines

Safety Note: Replacing a rack wheel assembly is a quick, tool-free repair. However, for safety and ease of access, ensure the dishwasher interior has cooled completely if a heated dry or wash cycle ran recently. Pro Tip (Tool-Free Quick Swap): Replacing the WPW10261335 wheel assembly takes less than 2 minutes. Roll the lower dish rack completely out of the tub and set it on a flat counter or towel. Installation Access: Locate the damaged wheel bracket assembly on the lower wire frame. Depress the central plastic locking tab with your thumb or a flat-head screwdriver and unclip the old assembly from the wire grid. Installation Hack: Align the clip channels of the new WPW10261335 bracket with the horizontal and vertical wire tines on the rack frame. Press down firmly until the retention locking tabs snap securely around the wire frame. Warning: Test the clip connection by pulling gently on the bracket to ensure it cannot slip off while holding heavy dishes. Set the rack back into the tub tracks and test rolling motion before reloading.
