Bosch Dishwasher dishrack not sliding in and out properly
If your Bosch dishwasher rack not sliding issue is making it hard to load or unload dishes, the problem is usually in the upper rack hardware, not the whole rack. On this Bosch dishwasher dishrack stuck symptom, the most likely cause is a damaged or misaligned rack adjuster, especially if the upper rack sits unevenly or will not glide smoothly. Next, check each dishrack roller, roller, and wheel, since a cracked, loose, or missing part can keep the rack from moving in and out properly. If those parts look okay, inspect the dishrack roller axle for wear or damage that can throw the roller out of alignment on the track. After that, look at the support rail on both sides for bends, warping, or other damage that can cause a Bosch dishwasher upper rack not sliding smoothly. A careful inspection of these parts usually explains why the dishwasher rack not sliding properly problem started. Enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact Bosch rack adjuster, dishrack roller, wheel, roller axle, or support rail that fits your specific dishwasher.
01 - Bosch 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.
