Amana Dishwasher dishrack not sliding in and out properly
If your Amana dishwasher rack not sliding smoothly has you fighting the upper rack every time you load dishes, the most likely problem is a damaged or misaligned rack adjuster. Since the upper dishrack uses a rack adjuster on each side, both need to be intact and set at the same height or the dishwasher rack not sliding in and out properly can bind on the track. Next, check the dishrack roller, roller, and wheel for cracks, flat spots, or parts that have come loose, since any of those can make the Amana dishwasher dishrack stuck or hard to move. If those parts look good, inspect the dishrack roller axle for damage that keeps the roller from lining up correctly, then look at the support rail for bends or wear that can stop the rack from gliding normally. On RepairClinic.com, you can enter your model number to find the exact Amana rack adjuster, dishrack roller, wheel, roller axle, or support rail that fits your dishwasher.
01 - Amana Dishwasher Rack 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.

06 - Amana Dishwasher Support 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.
