When a dishwasher rack rusts or the door gasket stops sealing, you are shopping for a replacement part rather than a whole appliance. The challenge is that replacement parts for similar dishwashers can differ wildly in price and purpose. The four parts here span from a $15.66 door gasket to a $225 used upper dish rack, so the first step is identifying which kind of part your repair calls for.
Quick Take
If you need an upper rack for a KitchenAid or Whirlpool dishwasher, you have two used OEM choices: the W10056270 upper dish rack at USD 225.00 and the W10350382 upper dish rack at USD 186.08. If your repair involves a lower rack, the new stainless steel nylon-coated rack assembly at USD 207.93 is the only new rack option in this set. And if the issue is a leaking door, the ERP door gasket at USD 15.66 is the dedicated seal and the lowest-priced item here.

Product Notes
KitchenAid Whirlpool Dishwasher Upper Dish Rack W10056270, W10728863, 8561731
This used OEM upper dish rack is made in the United States and comes with multiple part numbers in the title, including W10056270, W10728863, W10078137, and W10312791. It is described as fully working and tested, and the gray color is noted in the listing. At USD 225.00, it is the highest-priced item in this compare, so it makes sense if you want a direct OEM replacement for an upper-level rack and your model matches one of the listed part numbers. The trade-off is that it is a used part and may show light signs of previous use or wear, so the condition caveats that come with pre-owned parts apply.
OEM 💯✔️ W10350382 Kitchen Aid Dishwasher Upper Dish rack
This used OEM upper dish rack is the less expensive upper-rack option at USD 186.08. It is listed as compatible with KitchenAid model FFCD2413US1A and carries multiple part numbers, such as 65/04/23 and 65/64/23. It is also made in the United States and described as fully working and tested. If the compatibility matches, this gives you a solid OEM upper-rack choice for a lower price than the other upper rack here, with about a $39 difference between the two. The limitation is similar to the other used part: it is a pre-owned rack, so light wear is possible, and the title does not offer extra technical detail beyond the part number.
Dishwasher Lower Rack Assembly Stainless Steel Nylon Coated Laser Welded
This is the only new rack assembly in the group, priced at USD 207.93. It is built with stainless steel, has a nylon coating, and is laser welded, with a matte finish. The listed dimensions are 8 by 20 by 7 inches and it weighs 6.93 pounds. The title identifies it as a lower rack assembly, so it is intended for a lower-rack replacement rather than an upper-rack job. That is the key limitation: if your repair actually needs an upper rack, this lower-rack listing is not a match. It does, however, provide a newly manufactured alternative to the two used OEM upper racks, and the stainless steel and nylon construction gives it a fresh, coated surface.
ERP W10509257 Dishwasher Gasket Seal for Whirlpool WPW10509257
This ERP door gasket is the only sealing part in the group and the lowest-priced item at USD 15.66. It is a new part made in Mexico and is an exact replacement for part number W10509257, with a stretched length of 68 inches. It is listed for Whirlpool-manufactured dishwashers, including KitchenAid and Roper models. The limitation is that it only handles the door gasket job, so if your dishwasher rack is also worn out, this purchase alone will not solve that problem. For a focused door-seal replacement issue, this is the part to consider.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
Decide based on the repair in front of you. For an upper-rack replacement in a KitchenAid or Whirlpool dishwasher, the OEM W10350382 upper dish rack is the more economical option at its listed price, while the W10056270 upper dish rack provides another OEM choice with additional part-number coverage if your model matches. For a rack assembly where the lower rack is the worn part, the new stainless steel nylon-coated assembly brings a fresh build and a matte finish. If your problem is a leaking door, the ERP door gasket is the only dedicated seal in this set and is the lowest-priced part available here.
