SOURCE: top rack rail contently comming off the rollers.

Typically the roller wheels and the post tabs that hold them onto the sliding rack/guides will wear over time and depending on how heavily your family loads the racks, the sooner you'll need to replace them.

You can order new ones and do the job yourself which is the best solution for the situation you're describing. The only other thing to check is for the rack section that is attached to the inside dishwasher walls to make sure those screws are snug (don't overtighten and strip them out!) other than that, you still will need to replace the rollers on the extendable portion of the rack supports, etc. Hope that helps.

There should be plastic stops at either end of the rail that prevent the rollers of the rack from coming out of either end.

Hi my dishwasher top rack closes until it reaches the spray connection then stops unless you wiggle it about then closes it seems too low any advice would be great

If your dishwasher top rack is not closing properly and is stopping when it reaches the spray connection, there are a few things you can try to fix the issue:
  1. Check the Spray Arm: Make sure the spray arm is not blocked by any dishes or debris. Clean it if necessary.
  2. Check the Spray Tower: Ensure the spray tower is properly seated in the dishwasher and not blocking the top rack from closing.
  3. Check the Rack Adjusters: Make sure the rack adjusters are properly positioned and adjusted to fit the dishes in the top rack.
  4. Check the Rack Rollers: Check that all the rollers are present, functioning and not damaged. If any of them are missing, damaged or not functioning, you should replace the rollers.
  5. Check the Track: Make sure the track the top rack rides on is clean and free of debris.
  6. Check the dishwasher's leveling: Make sure the dishwasher is level. If it's not level, it can cause the top rack to not close properly.
If the problem persists, it may be an issue with the dishwasher's design or a malfunctioning part that may require a professional to fix. It is best to contact the manufacturer or a qualified technician for further assistance.
It's important to note that the above steps is a general guide, and specific instructions may vary depending on the model of your dishwasher.
Hope this helps!

I have a kudk0310tbk built in dishwasher and it has been working great until tonite. the racks keep rolling out and will not push back in so I can close and run the machine

It sounds like your dishwasher isnt level or mounted. Make sure also that the rails supporting the top rack are not just jammed. If its sliding like normal and appears to be on track and your dishwasher is mounted, give the top rack a couple slighlty more powerful jerks and tugs to try and unsieze them if they are bound up. Then spray small amounts of cooking oil on the rail mechanism if this breaks it free. If the rails are broke, look them up at repairclinic.com and replace parts.

Top roller screw hole stripped

1)make certain all is clean and very dry
2)apply gorilla glue into stripped plastic hole and insert screw.
3)rig something up to keep it from moving for 6 hours or so

careful gorilla has a nasty habbit of pretty much destroying clothes and staining skin so be carefull. don't get carried away when applying it and maybe set down a disposable rag to catch drips.
but it is very permanent. Its what I would do

good luck

Top rack rails came off the rollers

How to replace the adjuster on the top rack of KitchenAide dishwasher model number KUDS35FXSS1

The top rack is very stiff pulling in and out, at a certain point.

Check that the rollers on the rack are correctly seated in the sliding rail, and that all the rollers are ok and intact and turning.Also check that you haven't bent or dislodged the sliding rail and that it is fixed to the dishwasher properly, ie nothing has come loose.
hope that helps

Whirlpool du1055xtsq 3 not cleaning top rack of

In my experience, you probably have a clog in the spray arm/arms for the top rack. Take the arm(s) out and see if the holes in them are clogged. Rice, plastic wrappers, and glass from dishes that broke in there are the most common culprits I've seen.

I can't put back the top dishwasher rack. The railing does not seem to hold it, even though there is no damage in the railing. The top rack could not be held by the rollers

There should be plastic stops at either end of the rail that prevent the rollers of the rack from coming out of either end.

2 upper rack rollers cracked in Maytag #MDB7600AWS - cant find simple replacement rollers for inside track - 1 1/4" - of upper rack.

JP Weld works great on repairing these junky Maytag parts. Note that they don't have a replacement for these upper wheels and a guy is selling expensive stainless steel replacements. The round connector broke off of ours that holds the wheel to the rack. My wife found a plastic button that fit within the space and we glued it with JP Weld epoxy (water and temperature resistant). 10 washes later, still working great! I expect it will "heal" any other plastic parts. NEVER will I buy a Maytag again!
