Dishwasher Rack Locks

thingiverse

Many modern dishwashers come equipped with fold-down racks that can be quite convenient for placing big items in tight spaces, but these same racks can also be incredibly frustrating when they collapse due to the shape of the items placed on them or the weak standard locking clips. The 'Dishwasher Rack Locks' are a quick and simple solution designed to fit most dishwashers and width racks. They were specifically created for Westinghouse models, but their similar design makes them suitable for use with other brands as well. These rack locks feature multiple holes on each side that can be adjusted to accommodate the width of most standard racks. Simply slide them into place so the rack is locked in an upright position and you'll never have to deal with collapsing lines of dishes again. While the environment inside a dishwasher can be quite toxic, the durability of these rack locks has held up remarkably well even after eight weeks of use. However, minor deformation may occur during the first few uses due to heat exposure. Fortunately, they seem to stabilize quickly and become a seamless part of your dishwasher's design, requiring only seconds to remove when you need to place large items on the racks. These practical rack locks are not exactly groundbreaking in terms of design, but they effectively address a common day-to-day issue that many dishwashers face. To ensure their strength, it's essential to print them with thick and solid settings. Refer to the provided print instructions for further guidance.
