Common Symptoms
- Upper dishrack binds, catches, or slides unevenly.
- Rack becomes unstable or falls out of the rail when pulled forward.
- Visible bending, cracking, or damage to the rack support track.
- Rack wheels disengage from the track or the rack becomes misaligned.
Check Before Replacing
- With the dishwasher unloaded, gently pull the affected rack outward and check whether it slides smoothly on both rails.
- Inspect the track and rack wheels for visible bending, cracking, obstruction, or debris.
- Confirm that the rack wheels are seated in the rails and that the rack stops are closed and locked.
- Compare the affected rail with the opposite side for obvious misalignment or physical damage.
Pro Tip
Before replacing the track, check for debris in the rail and verify that the rack wheels and rack stops are correctly engaged; these conditions can mimic a damaged support rail.
