Samsung Dishwasher dishrack not sliding in and out properly
If your Samsung dishwasher rack not sliding issue is making the upper rack hard to pull out or push back in, the problem is usually mechanical and fairly easy to track down. The most common cause is a damaged or misaligned rack adjuster, especially on the upper dishrack where both adjusters need to be in the same position to move smoothly. Next, check for a broken or loose dishrack roller, roller, or wheel, since any one damaged part can make the dishwasher rack stuck or uneven on the track. After that, inspect the dishrack roller axle, which can throw the roller out of alignment and keep the rack from gliding properly. Bent or damaged support rails are also a common reason a Samsung dishwasher upper rack not sliding smoothly starts rubbing, binding, or coming off track. A close visual inspection usually points you to the failed part quickly. Once you know what needs replacing, enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact Samsung rack adjuster, dishrack roller, wheel, roller axle, or support rail that fits your specific dishwasher.
01 - Samsung 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 - Samsung 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.
