I made a thing: Random Dishwasher Parts
Mom asked me if I could fix her dishwasher. The top rack keeps falling down.
Digging in, I found the problem. This is the upper dishrack clip/axle.
It's broken, obviously. The little clips that are supposed to hold the wheels on are half gone.
Pricing it online, these clips are $25.00 each. Ouch. She needs four of them. Cough & Sputter.
So I did what any self-respecting cheapskate would do.
No, not duct tape.. :) I made new ones.
Here is the 3D model in Fusion 360.
And now my printer is humming away, making a new one.
I'll test fit it this weekend. If it works/fits, I'll post the model, and the Dishwasher model/part number information so the universe can share in my delight of not paying giant piles of money to buy these.
