The Lower Rack Assembly is an OEM part for GE dishwashers. It provides the lower-level storage for dishes, pots, pans, and utensils during the wash cycle, allowing water and detergent to reach all items effectively. Over time, exposure to high temperatures, heavy loads, and abrasive detergents can cause the rack's coating to wear off, leading to rust and reduced functionality. Symptoms of a bad lower rack assembly include: Difficulty sliding the rack in and out Rust or discoloration on the rack Broken or missing tines Dishes not being cleaned properly due to poor positioning This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.Part Number WD28X25960 (AP6986462) replaces WD28X10387, WD28X10285, WD28X10317, WD28X10332, WD28X10333, WD28X10381, WD28X10405, WD28X10407, WD12X10380, WD28X10071, WD28X10073, WD28X10075, WD28X10078, WD28X10082, WD28X10121, WD28X10129, WD28X10134, WD28X10138, WD28X10141, WD28X10143, WD28X10171, WD28X10201, WD28X10221, WD28X10223, WD28X10226, WD28X10250, WD28X10253, WD28X10257, WD28X10261, WD28X10264, WD28X10271, WD28X10274, WD28X10276, WD28X10277, WD28X10282, WD28X10294, WD28X10300, WD28X10305, WD28X10318, WD28X10334, WD28X10351, WD28X10357, WD28X10386, WD28X10403, WD28X10404.
