Common Symptoms
- Rack movement is rough, noisy, or uneven.
- Upper rack feels loose or can derail from the track.
- Rack will not pull out or push in properly.
- A roller is visibly cracked, broken, loose, or missing.
- A misaligned rack may contribute to difficulty closing the dishwasher door.
Check Before Replacing
- With the dishwasher empty and cool, manually slide the upper rack and note whether movement is rough, uneven, or restricted.
- Visually inspect this roller and the other upper-rack rollers for cracks, missing sections, looseness, or derailment.
- Check for debris caught in the roller or track and remove it without forcing the rack.
- Confirm that the rack wheels are engaged in the rails and that the rack stops are closed before concluding that the roller is faulty.
Pro Tip
Inspect all upper-rack rollers together; replacing one damaged or missing roller may not resolve binding if another roller or the track is also damaged.
