Thermador Dishwasher dishrack not sliding in and out properly
If your Thermador dishwasher rack not sliding issue is making the dishrack stick, bind, or jump off track, start with the parts most likely to cause it. The most common problem is a damaged or misaligned rack adjuster on the upper rack, especially if the two adjusters are not set to the same position. Next, check each dishrack roller, roller, and wheel for cracks, wear, or a wheel that has come loose, since any of those can keep the rack from moving smoothly. If the problem continues, inspect the dishrack roller axle because a bent or worn axle can throw the roller out of alignment on the track. After that, look closely at the support rail for bends or damage that can keep the rack from gliding in and out properly. This kind of dishwasher rack not sliding problem is usually mechanical and easy to spot with a careful visual check. Enter your Thermador dishwasher model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact rack adjuster, dishrack roller, wheel, roller axle, or support rail that fits your machine.
01 - Thermador 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.
