It's also catalogued as 911516028 and 50286965-00/4.

Dishwasher bottom basket dragging or falling off

The lower basket rolls on small wheels that run along the tub rails. Heat, detergent and the weight of a full load wear them down, and over time they crack, flatten, seize on their axles or snap off altogether. Then the basket jerks or grinds as you pull it out, tips forward, jumps off the rails or scrapes the door. A missing wheel also lets the basket sit crooked, which can stop the lower spray arm turning freely. Eight wheels come in the kit, so there are plenty to replace all the worn ones together.

Fitting the basket wheels

Make sure the dishwasher is off and cool before you start. Pull the lower basket out and turn it upside down on a towel. Most wheels unclip from their holders or slide off a short axle, so remove one and note how it sits before doing the rest. Press the new wheels on until they seat fully, check each one spins freely, and slide the basket back onto the rails.
