1. A dishwasher comprising: a treatment chamber configured to clean dishes;a rack in the treatment chamber configured to hold dishes, the rack comprising an upper horizontal bar, a lower horizontal bar and a vertical bar; anda stop removably attached to the rack, the stop comprising a first latch that is latched to the upper horizontal bar,a second latch that is latched to the lower horizontal bar,a third latch that is latched vertically above the first latch to the vertical bar, anda stopper portion that extends below a lowest wire in the rack and is configured to abut a portion of the dishwasher to limit travel of the rack out of the dishwasher. 2. The dishwasher according to claim 1, further comprising wheels on the rack and a horizontal surface within the treatment chamber on which the wheels are configured to roll, wherein the stopper portion extends below the horizontal surface. 3. The dishwasher according to claim 1, wherein, when viewed from a side of the rack, the upper horizontal bar, the lower horizontal bar and the vertical bar overlap each other in an I-shaped profile where the stop is removably attached to the rack. 4. The dishwasher according to claim 1, wherein the second latch is shaped to allow the stop to rotate about the lower horizontal bar. 5. The dishwasher according to claim 4, wherein the second latch has an inverted U-shaped profile when viewed parallel to an axis of the lower horizontal bar and the lower horizontal bar is within the inverted U-shaped profile. 6. The dishwasher according to claim 5, wherein the inverted U-shaped profile limits downward movement of the stop relative to the rack. 7. The dishwasher according to claim 6, wherein the inverted U-shaped profile allows upward movement of the stop relative to the rack. 8. The dishwasher according to claim 1, wherein the first latch includes a snap mechanism configured to releaseably attach to the upper horizontal bar. 9. The dishwasher according to claim 8, wherein the snap mechanism includes a substantially C-shaped profile where a clearance between the C-shaped profile and the upper horizontal bar allows vertical movement of the upper horizontal bar within the C-shaped profile. 10. The dishwasher according to claim 8, wherein the snap mechanism includes a substantially C-shaped profile that prevents vertical movement of the upper horizontal bar within the C-shaped profile. 11. The dishwasher according to claim 1, wherein the third latch includes a snap mechanism configured to releaseably attach to the vertical bar. 12. The dishwasher according to claim 1, wherein the stop comprises a vertical channel around the vertical bar and the third latch is at the top of the vertical channel. 13. The dishwasher according to claim 12, wherein the vertical channel bisects the first latch. 14. The dishwasher according to claim 12, wherein the vertical channel bisects the second latch. 15. The dishwasher according to claim 1, wherein the stopper portion includes an abutment surface configured to abut the portion of the dishwasher and the abutment surface is rearward of a rear-most portion of the first latch, the second latch and the third latch. 16. The dishwasher according to claim 1, wherein the upper horizontal bar and the lower horizontal bar are parallel but are not vertically aligned. 17. The dishwasher according to claim 16, wherein the lower horizontal bar is closer to a center of the rack than the upper horizontal bar. 18. A stopper mechanism for use with a rack in a dishwasher, the stopper mechanism comprising: a first horizontal groove with a first opening facing towards a first side of the stopper mechanism, where the first opening is narrower than a remainder of the first horizontal groove that is inward from the first opening;a second horizontal groove with a second opening facing towards a bottom side of the stopper mechanism and closer to the bottom side than the first horizontal groove;a vertical groove with a third opening facing towards the first side of the stopper mechanism, where the third opening is narrower than a remainder of the vertical groove that is inward from the third opening, at least part of the third opening being positioned closer to a top side of the stopper mechanism than the first opening; andan extension that extends beyond the second horizontal groove toward the bottom side of the stopper mechanism. 19. The stopper mechanism of claim 18, wherein the stopper mechanism has a horizontal portion and a vertical portion that together result in an overall shape that is substantially an inverted L-shape. 20. The stopper mechanism of claim 19, wherein the first horizontal groove, the second horizontal groove and the vertical groove are within the horizontal portion of the L-shape and the extension is the vertical portion of the L-shape. 21. The stopper mechanism of claim 18, wherein the first horizontal groove has a C-shaped profile and the second horizontal groove has an inverted U-shaped profile. 22. The stopper mechanism of claim 18, wherein the second horizontal groove is substantially the same width from the second opening through an entire depth of the second horizontal groove. 23. The stopper mechanism of claim 18, wherein a deepest location of the second horizontal groove is farther away from the first side than a deepest location of the first horizontal groove. 24. The stopper mechanism of claim 18, wherein the vertical groove bisects that first horizontal groove. 25. The stopper mechanism of claim 24, wherein the vertical groove bisects the second horizontal groove.
