WG04A02161 GE Dishwasher Roller and Stud Assembly (UR)

Product Description

The WG04A02161 GE Dishwasher Roller and Stud Assembly (UR) is a genuine OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) replacement part for the upper dishrack in select GE, Hotpoint, and related brand dishwashers. This assembly includes a durable gray plastic roller wheel attached to a stud/axle that clips onto the side rails of the upper rack. It allows the upper rack to glide smoothly in and out on the dishwasher's side tracks for easy loading and unloading of dishes.

This part is the updated replacement for the discontinued WD12X10319 (also associated with AP4980624, PS3486905, AH3486905, EA3486905).

Features

• Genuine GE OEM quality — Ensures exact fit and reliable performance.
• Durable plastic construction — Resistant to wear, water, and detergent exposure.
• Clip-on stud design — Securely attaches to the upper rack without tools in most cases.
• Smooth-rolling wheel — Provides effortless rack movement.
• Single assembly — Sold individually (dishwashers typically require 4-8 per upper rack, depending on model).

Benefits

• Restores smooth operation to a sticking, wobbly, or falling upper rack.
• Prevents rack from derailing or dropping, reducing risk of broken dishes.
• Improves ease of use for loading/unloading, especially taller items on the upper level.
• Genuine part guarantees compatibility and longevity over generic alternatives.
• Quick, inexpensive fix that can extend the life of your dishwasher.

Installation Guide

Difficulty: Easy (no tools required; 10-30 minutes). Safety: Unplug the dishwasher or turn off power at the breaker.

General steps (applies to most GE models with clip-on upper rack rollers):

1. Open the dishwasher door and fully extend the upper rack.
2. Locate the old roller assemblies on the sides of the upper rack (usually 4 per side).
3. Gently squeeze or flex the clips on the old stud/roller and pull it off the rack rail (it snaps off).
4. Snap the new WG04A02161 assembly onto the rack in the same position—align the stud and push until it clicks securely.
5. Repeat for all needed rollers.
6. Slide the upper rack in and out several times to ensure smooth movement.
7. For some models: If end caps/stops on the side rails need removal for full rack access, carefully pry or twist them off (they may have tabs to bend), replace rollers, then reinstall caps.

Tip: Upper rack rollers are often replaced in sets of 4 or 8. Watch GE's official upper rack wheel replacement video or model-specific tutorials for visuals, as slight variations exist.
