Dishwasher Racks Roll In or Out On Their Own

The dishwasher door should lay flat when the door is open. If the lower rack rolls in because the door is not lying flat, then the door springs need to be adjusted. The installer should have adjusted the springs properly when the dishwasher was installed. The Installation Instructions will provide directions, or contact the installer to adjust the springs.

 

If the dishwasher door stays fully open and the racks in the dishwasher roll in or out by themselves, the dishwasher is not level. The leveling legs should have been adjusted at installation to ensure the dishwasher is level, front-to-back, and left-to-right. The Installation Instructions will provide directions, or contact the installer to adjust the springs.
