165314 Dishwasher Lower Rack Wheel - For Bosch & Kenmore Dishwashers - 12 Pack

165314 / 00165314 Dishwasher Lower Rack Wheel

Key Features

• Heavy-Duty Structural Polymer: Manufactured from a high-density, heat-stabilized plastic designed to withstand the intense thermal cycling of "Sani-Rinse" and "Extra 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 dishwasher door and tub tracks, even when the rack is fully loaded with heavy plates and cookware.
• Integrated Snap-Fit Axle: Designed with a standardized "push-to-lock" mounting system that snaps directly onto the lower rack's metal wire frame, providing a secure, vibration-resistant connection that prevents wheels from popping off.
• Load-Bearing Durability: Specifically engineered to support the weight of full loads, ensuring the lower rack remains perfectly level and aligned with the spray arms for consistent cleaning results.
• Complete 12-Piece Restoration Set: This comprehensive value pack provides enough wheels to replace the entire lower rack set (standard models use 8) with spares left over, restoring original factory-smooth movement.

Compatibility & Fitment

This lower rack wheel is the standard replacement for most Bosch-manufactured 24-inch dishwashers. Key compatible brands include:

• Bosch: Fits hundreds of SHX, SHE, SHP, SHI, SHU, and SHV series models (e.g., SHE43P15UC, SHX43C05UC, SHP65TL5UC).
• Thermador & Gaggenau: Compatible with various high-end DWHD and DF series luxury units utilizing the 165314 wheel style.
• Kenmore (107 & 103 Series): Fits dozens of models manufactured by Bosch for Sears (e.g., 107.14352101, 103.14352101).
• Note: These wheels are specifically for the Lower Rack. They are designed to roll along the tracks on the inner door and the tub floor.

When to Replace

• Lower Rack Jamming: The rack is difficult to pull out or push in, often feeling like it is "jumping" off the track or getting stuck on the door gap.
• 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 after a cycle.
• Rack Not Level: The lower rack sits at an angle, which can cause the spray arms to hit the dishes or prevent the door from closing and latching properly.
• Loud Grinding/Rolling Noise: A loud mechanical noise when moving the rack, indicating the wheel surfaces have worn flat or the plastic mounts have worn thin.
• Plastic Fatigue: The wheels look "whitened" or have visible stress fractures, 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 lower rack and remove it from the dishwasher for the best access.
• Removing the Old Wheels: Use your thumb to press the locking tab on the back of the wheel assembly and pull it away from the rack wire. If it is stuck, a small flat-head screwdriver can help pry the clip.
• Clean the Rack Wire: Before installing the new 165314 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 Sets: It is highly recommended to replace all the wheels on a single side (or the entire rack) at once. Since all wheels are exposed to the same wear, if one has failed, the others are likely close to the end of their service life.
