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.

The softest, prettiest pink ever. So finely constructed in every detail.
Size: One Size, Color: Crinkle Morning Beach
I recently ordered this Kate Spade Large Leather Shoulder Bag in the Crinkle Morning Beach color, which is a very soft, mellow, light pink. Think puffy clouds dusted with the pink highlights at sunset kind of light pink. I think it’s absolutely gorgeous! I love the smooth, simple lines of this bag and the “rocking chair” curved bottom panel. The bottom panel allows this purse to stand upright, making it easy to see into it and access the contents. It has a simple thin shoulder strap tied into a perky loop detail at the side with a little tail. Nothing fussy. Just pure simplicity and class with a flirty little flair. As mentioned in the description, this is a large bag, 14” wide, perfect for travel or if you have more to carry on that day. It’s quite roomy inside. The zipper opens up along the entire top of the bag, making it easy to see into it and take things in and out of it. There’s an open pocket against one side and a zippered pocket against the other to keep things neatly organized and easy to find. The construction of this bag is perfect in every detail. The leather is just exquisite. So smooth to the touch. Even the light-colored inner lining is cool and smooth. Every surface has neat topstitching in perfect, small stitches in a matching pink thread color. It has a quality zipper that zips smoothly and has a small leather pull. It seems everything about this shoulder bag provides a delightful experience in its use.

A beautiful, soft, finely finished and costly bag
Size: One Size, Color: Crinkle Morning Beach, Size: One Size, Color: Crinkle Morning Beach
I defer to Mrs. Engineer in everything related to purses. I’ve included her comments below. UNPACKING The bag arrives surrounded by a thin foam pad inside a plastic bag. An unremarkable polyester storage bag (shown in a photo) is included. It comes folded in the same package as the bag. IMPRESSIONS The first impression the bag makes is that it's simple and beautiful and that the leather feels wonderful. The interior has one open pouch and one with a zipper (see photos). That’s sufficient for Mrs. Engineer but some people may want more subdivisions of the interior. The bag has top stitching everywhere. As shown in photos, there is impeccable top stitching throughout the interior and on the bottom. The interior is light colored, a feature always desirable in a bag for ease of finding things. The wide, flat (from front to back) bottom allows the bag to sit upright unless it’s loaded in an extremely unbalanced way. Because of the fineness of the leather, most people wouldn’t want to put it down on any flooring unless it was carpeted. The handle is comfortable and is suitable for both handheld and over-the-shoulder carrying. The strap length can be adjusted to fit the user. PRICE It’s difficult to comment on the price and whether it’s a good value. Certainly all the functions of this bag, including looking elegant, can be accomplished with a bag costing a quarter as much. Whether the quality of the leather, the fineness of the finishing and the cachet of the Kate Spade brand is worth the cost of the bag depends on the eye, and the resources, of the beholder. We received this bag at no cost through the Amazon Vine program in return for an unbiased review. For us, personally, it would not be worth its price at the time of this review, but the popularity of the brand proves that many others feel differently about it. CONCLUSIONS This is a beautiful and finely finished bag that we are happy to have, and there’s nothing negative to say about it. I’ve given it five stars.
