140043683048 Genuine Upper Basket Rail Support for Electrolux Group Dishwashers, Top Rack Runner Rail Mounting Part

Top rack sagging on one side? This genuine Electrolux group support, part 140043683048, holds the rail that the upper basket runs along in Electrolux group dishwashers. Electrolux lists it simply as a top basket rail support with no model list attached, so the safest way to order is to match 140043683048 to the number on your old support or your machine's parts list.

What happens when the top basket rail support breaks

Each side of the upper basket runs on a rail, and that rail needs fixing points on the tub wall to stay straight. This support is one of those fixing points. Once it cracks or lets go, the rail can tilt or pull away, and the basket may drop at the front, jam as you pull it out or even derail with a full load of glasses. Many people notice it first when the top rack won't slide back in properly or the door bumps the basket on closing. Fixing it early also saves wear on the rail and basket wheels.

Fitting a new top basket rail support

Switch off at the wall first. Pull the upper basket out and lift it off its rail, then look at how the support locates on the tub wall. Some supports clip in and others use a stop or screw, so take a photo before you lever anything. Fit the new support, refit the rail and basket, and check the rack rolls smoothly with a few plates in it.

Questions about this part

Do I need one on each side?

Each rail has its own supports, and you only need to replace the broken ones. If both sides are cracked or worn, order two of 140043683048. Our records don't say whether left and right share this number, so check the number on each old part first.
