GE Dishwasher Lower Rack (WD28X31819)

The GE Dishwasher Lower Rack holds dishes, pots, and pans in the lower section of the dishwasher. It rolls in and out on the lower rail so you can load and unload items and position them for proper water spray and drainage during the wash and dry cycles.

Lower racks can fail from rust, worn coating, and repeated stress from heavy loads. Wheels and rack supports can loosen or crack over time. Metal tines may bend, break, or corrode, which can change how items sit and may interfere with spray arm movement or prevent smooth sliding.

Symptoms that suggest this lower rack may be the right replacement include:

• The rack is rusted, flaking, or has sharp spots that can damage dishes or cut hands
• Tines are bent or broken, causing plates and bowls to tip or not fit correctly
• The rack sags or sits unevenly, making loading difficult
• The rack does not slide smoothly or binds when pushed in or pulled out
• Wheels, supports, or corners are cracked or missing, causing the rack to derail or scrape
• Dishes shift during the cycle because the rack no longer holds items securely
