Question about Samsung Dishwashers

1 Answer

The third rack on my Samsung dishwasher no longer pulls out all the way.

The 3rd track gets stuck as if something is blocking the runner. We can remove the rack itself, but the glider tracks only move so far.

It sounds like there may be an obstruction in the glide track that is preventing the third track from moving freely. Here are some steps you can take to try and resolve the issue:

  1. Check for obstructions: Take a close look at the glide track where the third track is getting stuck. Look for any debris or objects that may be blocking the track. You can use a flashlight to help you see better. If you find any obstructions, carefully remove them.
  2. Clean the glide track: Even if you don't see any obstructions, the glide track may be dirty or have accumulated debris. Clean the glide track with a soft cloth and a non-abrasive cleaner to remove any buildup that may be causing the third track to get stuck.
  3. Lubricate the glide track: If the glide track is clean and free of obstructions, it may need to be lubricated to help the tracks move more smoothly. Use a silicone-based lubricant, such as WD-40 Silicone Lubricant, to lubricate the glide track. Apply a small amount of lubricant to the track and use a soft cloth to spread it evenly.
  4. Check the glider tracks: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, the glider tracks may be damaged or misaligned. Check the glider tracks to see if they are bent or damaged in any way. If so, they may need to be replaced. If the glider tracks are misaligned, adjust them so that they are straight and parallel to each other.
If none of these steps resolve the issue, it may be worth consulting with a professional technician or contacting the manufacturer for further assistance

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!

Se code

You're on the right track - SE error code on a Samsung dishwasher means "drain error". If you can get to it, try removing the drain pump. Chances are there is something in it that is blocking or impeding the impeller, or may be stuck at that end of the drain hose (where the check-valve is located.) Good luck!

Latch is not tight when closed

Something must be blocking the door from fully engaging. Pull the loading racks out and put them back after checking they are on track and roll freely. Good luck.

Top rack will not pull out all the way

Replace the upper basket wheels - these are available as spares. If the metal runners look angled - it may be the wheels on the side of the dishwasher that need replacing. These are also available as a spare part.
Ebay is actually a good place to shop for spares of this type.

I have a Kenmore Ultra Wash Dishwasher and the 3rd level spinner broke off. I have a new one and now need to know how to replace it.

the manifold in the back of the dishwasher needs to come out. you can either pop it all the way out it only undo it halfway if your arm is small enough.. there are either 2 tension clips or 2 screws holding it to the top and back. if you undo the top of the manifold and pull it down you should be able to slide the new part in place. the plastic push pin goes on top of the manifold and the spinner goes on the other side. it may be a little difficlt to push the 2 together..

hi Problems with the dish racks usually occur because the racks have been jammed back into the tub housing after they're fully loaded. Careless handling can exert enough force to crack or break the roller wheels or throw the racks off the tracks. The solution is easy: Stop jamming the racks. 
The repair is easy, too. Remove the racks by pulling out the tiny metal pins that hold them in the tracks. Or simply lift up on the racks and pull them out of the tracks. Then reinstall the racks on the tracks so that they roll smoothly. If the rollers are cracked or broken, replace them with new ones of the same type. The rollers may be friction-fit to their hubs. Pull them off for replacement. Or, if they are held by tiny spring clips, pull the clips out with pliers, or pry them out with the tip of a screwdriver. If you can't pull the rollers off for replacement, remove and replace the entire rack.

The bottom rack of the dishwasher is always coming off the "track" or what passes for one. The wheels seem too small or the rack isn't wide enough Makes it very diificult to push in or pull out.

A noisy wash cycle or water that won't drain are problems that, for the most part, can be handled yourself. We'll discuss how you can pinpoint these water-related problems in the next section.

I have Kitchen Aid Dishwasher Model # KUDMOITJBLO. We began having trouble with the top rack coming out of the brackets on the upper rack track. Kitchen Aid sent me 4 parts # 8268785. The problem is...

I removed the tracks from inside the dishwasher.  Then I was able to carefully remove the endcaps (something I had not been able to do previously) carefully.  The existing broken wheels slid out and I slid two new brackets into each track.   If I attached the tracks to the rack first, I would not be able to clip them into place, so I first replaced the endcaps and then returned the tracks to their positions inside the dishwasher. Reattaching the upper rack is not difficult, but takes two people while I connected the left side, my assistant supported the rack on the right side.  I then connected the right side of the rack.  I slide the rack back and forth to macke sure that is worked smoothly.  We then loaded the dishwasher and washed our dishes as we had in the past.
