Kenmore Dishwasher Dishrack, Upper (replaces 5304484728) 5304475618

Good but not quite the same as the Original

Even though this is the OEM replacement upper dishrack, they have changed the design slightly from the original that came with the dishwasher. The overall frame is not as thick, there is no place to reinstall the adjustable legs to the bottom of the rack, and the front handle/logo cannot be reinstalled. You can reinstall the top adjustable plastic components. But the rack fits perfectly and allows full use of the Dishwasher again.

Fits...but not exact replacement!

This replacement fits on the tracks and works but I was not able to transfer the handle and other pieces that were on the original rack. The design is completely different.

Easy to install.

Dishwasher Dishrack was not the same as the original rack. Since it was made slightly different, some of the hardware would not fit the replacement rack, so I had to just leave it off.

Easy to Install but needed repair first

As shipped, the rack height adjustment lever on the right side was installed wrong at the factory, and would not lock into place. I had to remove the lever and install it correctly to fix the problem. There were no other issues with the installation, and it only took about 10 minutes total to install it. The rack itself was different from the original oem part. All of the tines are fixed, so the fence tines could not be installed and I had to return them.

Good fit, easy install, light weight.

Make sure you keep the upper spray wash nozzle as the replacement does not come with this. The unit slides into place easily and fit perfectly. The replacement is made of lighter gauge wire rod and is not as heavy as the OEM. This does not effect the loading of the rack. Time will tell if it hold up to corrosion better than the OEM rack.

Had to call an appliance serviceman.

Rack came with the height adjustment clips not installed. It was very difficult to put them in place. Also, this rack is not of the same quality as the original. Our dishwasher is a Presidential model with much heavier racks.
