Dishlex dishwasher parts are designed with the consumer in mind, ensuring they meet and exceed your needs. Some replacement parts are simple and easy to replace, while others require specialised tools and skill.

This is a replacement roller assembly for your dishwasher. It attaches to the lower rear of the dishwasher rack and helps move it back and forth when opening and closing the door.

Dishwasher Rack

The dishwasher rack is a key part that holds dishes during the washing cycle. It is designed to support the weight of your plates, cups and other dishware while allowing water and detergent to flow easily into each compartment. This allows the appliance to wash more thoroughly and evenly, while protecting your dishes from damage or chipping.

Most dishwasher racks are made from steel and coated with a polymer, most commonly nylon. This combination offers a balance between durability and affordability, which is ideal for most consumers. The coating also helps prevent food and deposits from sticking to the racks, making cleaning and maintenance easier.

There are many different styles of dishwasher racks available, depending on your lifestyle and the amount of dishware you have. For example, some models feature a divided base rack to separate smaller items such as wine glasses and coffee mugs from larger cooking utensils. Others have closed-end racks to protect your dishes from bacteria, dust and contaminants, as well as reducing the likelihood of small items falling out during washing.

You can also purchase dishwasher dividers and holders to further manage your inventory. For example, a full set of hold down grids can be used on base racks that do not have compartments to minimize the chance of small glassware or utensils falling out during washing. Some models even include a full set of tray racks to accommodate larger plates and platters for larger family meals.

Dishwasher Door

Dishwasher doors fit into a dishwasher to give the appliance a sleek, integrated look. They are available in different colours to match the design of your kitchen. Integrated doors work best when the dishwasher is mounted above a counter or cabinet. Some people prefer a door-on-door system, where the front panel is attached directly to the dishwasher.

To replace a dishwasher door, first check the fixing screws to make sure they are secure. If there are any loose, tighten them with a screwdriver. Make sure the hinges are not rusted or broken. If they are, replace them.

Once the fixing screws are removed, remove the outer door panel. The way this is done may vary from one model to the next, but most handbooks will show how to do it. On many types of integrated dishwasher there are two fixing screws located half way down the side edge (they may be concealed with a plastic cover). By removing these, the outer door should lift off.

Dishwasher latches often get blocked by food, soap or grime and can stop the door from closing properly. Check for obstructions and clean the latch plate with a damp cloth. It is also possible that the latch springs need to be replaced if the dishwasher doesn’t close properly. This is easy to do but should be completed by a professional.

Dishwasher Spray Arm

The dishwasher spray arm rotates during the operating cycle to spray water over both racks of dishes. If your dishes aren’t coming out clean, it could be due to a malfunctioning or clogged spray arm. This genuine OEM dishwasher spray arm kit includes a new upper spray arm, split ring seal, water supply tube holder and screw to attach the arm to the mounting bracket.

To test the condition of your lower spray arm, remove the dishrack and pull up on the end of it to see if it moves freely. If not, it may need to be replaced. This genuine OEM lower wash arm bearing ring works in conjunction with the washer nut to hold the arm in place. If you notice that the arm is wobbly when it spins, this is likely a sign of a broken bearing ring.

To fix the problem, simply open your dishwasher and remove the bottom rack to expose the lower wash arm. Most dishwashers have a simple plastic bracket that twists to release the arm, but if your dishwasher is fastened with a bolt, you may need to use a wrench instead. If you have trouble getting the spray arm to turn, try using a length of wire (like coat hanger wire) that’s the same size as the holes in the arm to poke out any food or hard water mineral deposits.

Dishwasher Roller Assembly

The dishwasher has many moving parts and a variety of problems can occur. Some require professional repairs but others can be replaced by you or your household handyperson. You should always follow appliance repair guides carefully to ensure that the job is completed correctly.

One of the most common and easily repaired dishwasher issues is when the dishwasher rack wheels fall off. Dishwasher rack wheels are made from low-grade plastic and are often attached with integrated clips that, due to repeated heavy loads, can become fatigued and worn out. This can cause the wheel to fall off and, in some cases, melt on the heating element of the dishwasher.

This dishwasher lower dishrack roller assembly consists of two wheels and an axle, and clips to the lower part of your dishwasher rack, allowing it to roll in and out smoothly. It’s light gray in colour and is sold individually, so you may need to replace several of these if the dishwasher rack is not sliding in and out easily.

The thermostat is responsible for regulating the water temperature. If your dishwasher is not producing hot water or the temperature is too high, this can be caused by a faulty thermostat.
