12176000008779 Genuine Lower Basket Wheels for Whirlpool Dishwashers ADP6000IX ADP6000WH ADP8000IX, Replaces 673001000014

If the bottom rack in your Whirlpool dishwasher drags, tilts or jumps off the rails, the wheels are the first thing to check. These are the genuine lower basket wheels, part 12176000008779, also numbered 673001000014. They're listed for Whirlpool ADP6000IX, ADP6000WH and ADP8000IX dishwashers. The upper basket uses different wheels, part 12176000008739, so make sure it's the bottom ones you're replacing.

Worn dishwasher basket wheels

The lower basket carries the heaviest load in the machine, so its wheels take a beating every time the rack rolls in and out. Hot water and detergent slowly harden and wear them until they crack, flatten or snap off their axles. A basket with damaged wheels sits lower on one side, catches on the door, and can knock the spray arm so it stops spinning freely. Dishes on that side then come out poorly washed. Fresh wheels let the rack glide and sit level again.

Swapping the basket wheels

Questions about this part

Do these fit the top basket as well?

No. These are for the lower basket. The top basket on these Whirlpool models takes a separate wheel, part number 12176000008739, so order that one if the upper rack is the problem.
