Gaggenau Dishwasher dishrack not sliding in and out properly
If your Gaggenau dishwasher rack is not sliding smoothly, the most likely problem is a damaged or misaligned rack adjuster on the upper dishrack. Since the upper rack uses an adjuster on each side, both need to be intact and set at the same height or the rack can bind, tilt, or feel stuck. If the adjusters look fine, the next places to check are the dishrack roller, roller, or wheel, since a cracked, loose, or missing part can keep the rack from moving in and out properly. A worn dishrack roller axle is another common cause because it can throw the roller out of alignment on the track. If the rack still will not move right, inspect the support rail for bends or damage that can stop the dishrack from gliding as it should. Whether your Gaggenau dishwasher rack not sliding issue involves a rack adjuster, wheel, roller axle, or support rail, you can enter your model number on RepairClinic.com to find the exact replacement part for your specific dishwasher.
01 - Gaggenau 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 - Gaggenau 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.
