8268743 / WP8268743 Dishwasher Upper Rack Wheel

Key Features

  • Reinforced High-Heat Polymer: Manufactured from a premium, heat-stabilized plastic designed to withstand the intense thermal cycling of "Sani-Rinse" and "Heated Dry" cycles without warping, cracking, or becoming brittle over time.
  • Precision-Molded Roller Design: Features an optimized wheel geometry that ensures a smooth, low-friction glide across the metal slide rails, even when the upper rack is fully loaded with heavy glassware and bowls.
  • Snap-Fit Axle Interface: Designed with a standardized "push-to-lock" mounting system that snaps directly onto the upper rack's wire frame, providing a secure, vibration-resistant connection that prevents wheels from popping off during use.
  • Load-Bearing Stability: Specifically engineered to support the weight of a fully loaded upper rack, ensuring the rack remains perfectly level and preventing "sagging" that can cause dishes to chip or the spray arm to jam.
  • Essential 4-Piece Maintenance Set: This value pack provides enough wheels to replace both sides of a standard upper rack (two wheels per side), restoring original factory-smooth movement and rack alignment.

Compatibility & Fitment

This upper rack wheel is the standard replacement for the "Standard Tub" and some "Tall Tub" upper dish racks produced by Whirlpool. Key compatible brands include:

  • Whirlpool & Maytag: Fits hundreds of WDT, WDF, and MDB series models (e.g., WDT720PADM, MDB4949SHZ, DU1100XTPQ).
  • KitchenAid & Jenn-Air: Compatible with various KUDI, KUDL, and JDB series units utilizing the 8268743 wheel style.
  • Kenmore (665 Series): Fits hundreds of 665-prefix "Ultra Wash" and standard dishwashers (e.g., 665.13263K311, 665.13293K116).
  • Amana, Roper, & Estate: Direct fit for ADB and DU series models manufactured by Whirlpool.
  • Note: These wheels are specifically for the Upper Rack. They are designed to clip onto the rack wire and roll within the metal side rails attached to the cabinet walls.

When to Replace

  • Upper Rack Jamming: The rack is difficult to pull out or push in, or it feels like it is "jumping" off the metal slide rails.
  • Broken or Missing Wheels: Visible damage to the plastic axle or wheels, or wheels that have fallen off and were found at the bottom of the tub.
  • Rack Sagging: The upper rack sits at an angle, which can cause the middle spray arm to hit the dishes in the lower rack.
  • Loud Grinding/Rolling Noise: A loud mechanical noise when moving the rack, indicating the wheel surfaces have worn flat or the internal plastic axle has worn thin.
  • Brittle Plastic: The wheels look "whitened" or snap easily when touched, a common result of years of exposure to high-heat drying and detergent chemicals.

Installation Tips

  • No Specialized Tools Required: This is a simple "snap-on" repair. Empty the upper rack and pull it out as far as possible for the best access.
  • Removing the Old Wheels: Use a small flat-head screwdriver to gently pry the locking tab away from the rack wire. Be careful not to bend the metal rack wire during removal.
  • Clean the Rack Wire: Before installing the new 8268743 wheels, wipe away any old food particles or mineral scale from the metal wire to ensure a secure, permanent lock.
  • The "Snap" Fit: Align the new assembly with the rack wire and push firmly until you hear a distinct "click." This ensures the locking fingers have fully engaged the wire.
  • Replace in Pairs: Even if only one wheel is broken, it is recommended to replace the pair on that side (or all four) to ensure the rack moves evenly and doesn't put uneven stress on the new components.

Super cute landing space for keys
Color: White 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8", Color: White 1 Pack, Size: 8" x 8" x 1.8"
I always have trouble finding my keys and so it’s been very helpful to have a dedicated spot to easily throw them in when I get home. At first I thought it would be too big but it’s the perfect size for two wallets and keys, and it’s good quality albeit a bit expensive. The gold isn’t too shiny either, it’s a nice touch and it really reduces the look of clutter on your surfaces and helps it look more organized. It also doesn’t slip around.
