Most Frequent Causes for Dishwasher dishrack not sliding in and out properly

For the most accurate results, enter your model number.


Cause 1Rack Adjuster

A dishwasher's upper dishrack will often have two rack adjusters, one on each side of the rack, that allow the dishrack to be raised or lowered to accommodate dishware of various sizes. A damaged or misaligned rack adjuster can prevent the dishrack from being slid in and out properly. Inspect both rack adjusters for any damage and make sure both are set at the same position. If an adjuster appears damaged, it should be replaced with a new one.

Parts
Cause 6Support Rails

Upper dishwasher dishracks are positioned on support rails that allow the dishrack to glide in and out with ease. If one or both rails are bent or damaged, the dishrack will not be able to be pulled out or pushed back in easily. Inspect the support rails for any damage and replace if necessary.

Parts
Cause 7Upper Dishrack Assembly

If you've determined the dishrack rollers, rack adjusters, and support rails are in good condition, it's possible the upper dishrack assembly itself has become damaged or misshapen, making it difficult to pull the assembly out and push it back in. Inspect the assembly for any damage and replace if necessary.

Cause 8Lower Dishrack Assembly

If you've determined the dishrack rollers are in good condition, it's possible the lower dishrack assembly itself has become damaged or misshapen, making it difficult to pull the assembly out and push it back in. Inspect the assembly for any damage and replace if necessary.

Parts
Cause 9Third Level Dishrack

Some dishwashers have a third level dishrack that is positioned near the top of the dishwasher tank above the upper rack. This smaller rack is often used for utensils that can be placed flat on the surface of the rack. If the third level dishrack rollers and support rails are in good condition, it's possible the dishrack itself has become damaged or misshapen, making the rack difficult to slide in and out. Inspect the dishrack for any damage and replace if necessary.
