Hotpoint Dishwasher dishrack not sliding in and out properly
If your Hotpoint dishwasher rack is not sliding smoothly, the most common cause is a bad or misaligned rack adjuster on the upper dishrack. Check both adjusters to make sure they are not cracked, loose, or set at different heights, since that can keep the rack from moving in and out properly. Next, inspect the dishrack roller, roller, and wheel assemblies. A broken, worn, or missing roller or wheel is a very common reason a dishwasher rack not sliding issue shows up. If those parts look fine, look closely at the dishrack roller axle, which can throw the roller out of alignment and make the rack bind on the track. After that, inspect the support rail for bends, damage, or anything blocking the rack’s path. For a Hotpoint dishwasher dishrack stuck, upper rack not sliding, or dishwasher rack not sliding in and out properly, matching the exact part matters.

01 - Hotpoint 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.
