Dishwasher Features
Your Whirlpool dishwasher may have some or all of these features.
Removable Top Rack
The removable top rack allows you to wash larger items, such as pots, roasters, and cookie sheets in the bottom rack.
IMPORTANT: Remove dishes prior to removing the top rack from dishwasher.
To remove the rack:
1. To gain access to the track
stops, pull the upper rack
forward about halfway out of
the tub.
2. Press on the edge of the
ridged area on the track
stop while tipping the track
stop toward the center of
the dishwasher. This action
releases a small retaining tab
that locks the track stop to the
track. (See “Track stop - Left.”)
NOTE: It is helpful to use two
hands. Take special note of the
orientation of the track stops.
3. With the retaining tab released, pull the track stop straight
toward the opposite track to remove it.
4. After removing both track stops, carefully pull the top rack out
of the tracks by rolling it toward you.
5. Replace the track stops by coming up from under the track
and slipping the track stop into the lower slot of the track (See
“Track stop - Right.”) and rotate the track stop into place.
Then press on the edge of the ridged area while pushing the
track stop straight toward the track. This action locks the
retaining tab back into place.

ensure that it is locked in place.

1. Gently pull the tracks forward in
dishwasher until they stop. Remove
track stops. (See steps 1-3 above.)

of the rack into the track and roll the
rack into the tracks, but do not push
the rack all the way into the tub.

side of the rack into the track.
