How do I get a new upper rack wheel?

My Maytag MDB7600 dishwasher is about 2 years old and has performed very well. However, we noticed a few days ago that the upper rack wheel on the front right (if you're looking into it) was broken. Everywhere I've looked on the internet has no mention of a part number for that particular part. How do I get a part number or a new wheel? Thanks

I had the same problem - twice. I purchased a Maytag wheel assembly part #903093. I had to modify this so I used a fine saw (to adapt and slim down the wheel shaft length) and then a stainless steel screw/washers/nut as an axle to hold the wheel to the existing arm. This works fine and lasts longer that the original.

I had the same problem. I worked with appliancepartspro.com and the ONLY solution was to buy the entier rack adjuster assembly: MAC 99003585. It was not a happly choice to spend $30+ (s+h incl) to replace a $3.00 plastic wheel.

I ordered it and replaced the entire assembly because the new wheels are now permanently attached and more substantial..

I am really disappointed in Maytag but like my three year old dishwasher

We have the same problem after 2 1/2 years. An appliance parts shop said they only sell the top rack as a unit---for $100!

We're going to try and make one.

What a scam, and Maytag used to be so good. :o(
