LG Dishwasher dishrack not sliding in and out properly

If your LG dishwasher rack not sliding issue is making the upper rack hard to pull out or push back in, start with the parts most likely to fail. The first thing to check is the rack adjuster, since a damaged or misaligned adjuster can throw the rack off track and keep it from moving smoothly. Next, inspect each dishrack roller, roller, and wheel for cracks, flat spots, or a wheel that has come loose. These are common reasons an LG dishwasher dishrack gets stuck or an upper rack not sliding properly. After that, look at the dishrack roller axle, which can prevent the roller from lining up correctly on the track, and then check the support rail for bends or other damage that keeps the rack from gliding in and out. On many units, even one worn part can make the whole rack bind.

01 - LG 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.

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.
