How to Replace a GE Washer Triton Upper Rack Roller

GE Triton dishwashers are built-in models, designed for use in a noncommercial environment. The dishwashers have two racks, one on top of the dishwasher and one on bottom. The racks have four wheels, or rollers, that allow you to move the rack in and out of the dishwasher easily. If one of the wheels breaks, moving the rack in and out of the dishwasher may become difficult. Before replacing the rollers on the upper rack, you must first remove the rack from the dishwasher, which is a tricky job if you are unaware of how to remove the rack stops from the fronts of the sliders.
