WP8573953 KitchenAid Dishwasher Left Track Stop: Replacement Help

Looking for WP8573953?


WP8573953 is a KitchenAid/Whirlpool-family dishwasher rack track stop for the left side. Current parts catalogs mark this exact left-side stop no longer available.


Current supply status


Fresh checks on current KitchenAid/Whirlpool-family catalogs show WP8573953 as no longer available. The right-side stop WP8573954 is still sold, but PartAgain does not assume the right-side geometry fits the left side.


Confirmed model examples


Current model-specific catalogs show WP8573953 on KitchenAid KUDS03FTSS0, KUDP02IRBS2, KUDS03FTPA1, and KUDS02FRWH1. These are examples, not a complete compatibility list.


Why PartAgain is tracking this part


A tiny rack stop can make the dishwasher rack frustrating to use, and left/right asymmetry makes generic substitutes risky. The part is small, non-safety-critical, and well suited to a future fit-tested reproduction if real demand supports it.


PartAgain development status


Researching. PartAgain does not currently sell or claim a fit-tested WP8573953 replacement. We are collecting exact model numbers and broken-part references before prototype work.


Research status: not fit verified, not validated for compatibility, and not currently offered for sale by PartAgain.



If you still have the broken original, keep it. A physical reference plus the product model can be much more useful than a generic photo when a candidate advances to prototype work.

Something small broke.
Don’t replace the whole thing.

Tell us what broke and what it came from. If it is a safe, practical candidate, PartAgain can evaluate recreating the hard-to-find part instead of replacing the entire assembly.

The weird little part nobody sells.

Clips. Stops. Latches. Supports. Handles. Adapters. The cheap little pieces that can make expensive objects useless.

Discontinued?Only sold with a giant assembly?Backordered forever?No longer available?That’s our territory.
How it works

Start with the problem.

You do not need CAD, a scanner, or engineering vocabulary. Give us enough to identify the machine and failure; we ask for photos or measurements only if the opportunity is real.

01 / IDENTIFY

Tell us what broke

Make, model, OEM number if known, and what the piece actually does.

02 / QUALIFY

We check the path

Safety, current availability, compatibility breadth, geometry, and economics.

03 / RECREATE

One fix becomes inventory

When a part validates, we preserve the geometry and compatibility data for the next repair.

Part request

What broke?

This takes about a minute. Give us the identity and failure; deeper capture comes later only if worthwhile.

PartAgain does not reproduce safety-critical components. We focus on functional pieces where failure is inconvenient—not dangerous.
No preorder. No CAD required. We only sell a compatible replacement after validation.
