Before ordering:
-
Verify your dishwasher’s model number and serial number.
-
Remove your upper rack and inspect the adjuster housing: confirm the mounting style, screw holes or clip style match this replacement.
-
If the rack slides themselves, rollers or rails are also damaged, replacing the housing alone may not fully restore function — consider inspecting the rack slide system as a whole.
