When to Replace

• Rack Sagging: One side of the upper rack sits lower than the other, often causing the middle spray arm to strike dishes below.
• Broken Housing: Visible cracks in the plastic frame or snapped mounting clips that hold the adjuster to the wire rack.
• Lever Failure: The adjustment trigger no longer clicks into place or has snapped off, making it impossible to secure the rack height.
• Rack Falling: The rack unexpectedly drops to its lowest position during a cycle due to worn internal locking teeth.
• Brittle Plastic: The components have become chalky or brittle from repeated exposure to high heat and harsh detergents.

Installation Tips

• Safety First: Ensure the dishwasher is off and the upper rack is completely empty. Pull the rack out to its furthest extent.
• Removal: You may need to remove the rack from the tub rails by releasing the end caps on the drawer slides. Use a flat-head screwdriver to gently release the plastic clips securing the old adjuster to the wire.
• Orientation: Note that there is often a distinct “Left” and “Right” side; ensure the adjustment levers face toward the front of the dishwasher for easy access.
• Snap-Fit: Align the new adjuster with the horizontal wires of the rack and press firmly until all clips snap securely into place.
• Verification: Reinsert the rack into the slide rails and test the height adjustment on both sides to ensure it locks smoothly at each level.
