Whirlpool Easy Glide Rack (W11718046)

The Whirlpool Easy Glide Rack slides smoothly in and out of your oven on a ball-bearing or roller-assisted track system, making it easier to access hot dishes without fully removing the rack. It sits on guides mounted inside the oven walls and is designed to extend and retract with minimal effort, reducing the risk of spills and burns during cooking.

The Whirlpool Easy Glide Rack can wear out over time due to heat exposure, built-up grease, bent or damaged glide rails, or broken rollers and bearings that no longer allow smooth movement. Heavy loads, accidental drops, or repeated hard impacts against the oven walls can also cause the rack or its glide mechanism to degrade and stop functioning properly.

These symptoms can help you decide if your easy glide rack needs to be replaced:

- Rack sticks, catches, or requires excessive force to slide in or out

- Rack rolls out on its own or does not stay in place during cooking

- Visible damage such as bent rails, broken rollers, or missing components

- Rack wobbles or feels unstable when extended

- Grinding or scraping noise when sliding the rack

- Rack no longer sits level inside the oven
