Dishwasher bottom rack rollers

I’m trying to replace my bottom rack on dishwasher and the rack is available w/out rollers. Rollers are discontinued. Any idea on what to use in place of them?

Rollers (aka a wheels) for this dish rack are still available as well as axles and Appliance Parts Pros has all of them in stock.

  • The part number for the dish rack is AP3102978

  • The part number for the roller (you have to order 8) is AP3040003

  • The part number for the axle (you have to order 8) is AP3042879

Here are the breakdown diagrams and Replacement parts for WHIRLPOOL KDI16 | AppliancePartsPros.com

When I called for parts I was given another part number and told they were not available or were there any substitutes. Are the numbers you have given me replacements?

Whom did you call? These part numbers came up by the model number you posted.

I talked w/the gentleman who answered the phone at AppliancePartsPros. He referred me to the repair forum.

It was probably misunderstanding. Sometime it happens - nobody is perfect.

You can order these parts online or call the customer service with the part numbers.

Thanks Gene! I really appreciate your help. I’ll order the parts tomorrow.

You are welcome. Keep us posted.

Before spending the money on ordering the replacement rollers, I wanted to make sure I am doing the right thing. Four rollers came off the bottom rack and won’t “click” back in – they keep falling off. I presume this means I need new rollers – and the ones i will purchase will click in fairly easily.

Thanks

Andy,

What is the complete model number of the dishwasher?
