WD35X20994 General Electric Dishwasher Upper Dishrack Roller Kit

Dishwasher Upper Dishrack Roller Kit

This kit is compatible with several GE brands including Cafe, General Electric, Monogram, Haier, Hotpoint, Profile, Fisher & Paykel, and Sears-Kenmore. It is designed specifically for GE dishwashers and includes an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) assembly. The main function of this kit is to ensure that the upper dishrack of the dishwasher operates smoothly, facilitating an efficient glide. It comprises four nylon rollers and four axles, which help in moving the dishes steadily through the washing cycles, promoting effective cleaning.

Common issues observed with faulty upper dishrack rollers are:

1. Difficulty in sliding the upper rack smoothly.
2. Increased friction leading to the displacement of dishes during the cycle.
3. Noticeable noise or vibrations originating from the roller mechanism.

These issues generally stem from the natural degradation of the plastic components used in the rollers. Over time, these may wear down, show flat spots, develop cracks, or the bearings may become loose, all of which interfere with the movement of the rack.

The replacement kit offered by GE is designed to address these problems, ensuring that dishes are held securely and move smoothly throughout the washing process. This kit is also suitable for use in appliances from Hotpoint, RCA, and Kenmore/Sears.
