Common Symptoms
- Cracked or missing adjuster cover
- Upper rack becomes loose, tilted, or misaligned
- Rack height adjustment is difficult or does not hold properly
- Adjuster latch or mechanism is exposed
Check Before Replacing
- With the dishwasher unloaded and the upper rack pulled out, visually inspect the adjuster cover for cracks, missing sections, or separation from the adjuster body.
- Check that the cover is seated and retained on the adjuster body; do not force it if the rack mechanism is damaged.
- Move the upper rack through its normal height-adjustment positions by hand and check for smooth, even movement on both sides.
- If the rack remains loose or misaligned with an intact cover, inspect the associated adjuster assembly and rack hardware because the cover alone may not be the cause.
Pro Tip
Compare both upper-rack adjusters before ordering: a missing or cracked cover may expose the mechanism, but a loose rack can also indicate damage to the underlying adjuster assembly.
