Why should both sides of an adjustable rack be checked?

The rack needs to sit in the configuration intended by the manufacturer. An accidentally uneven position can affect stability, clearance or how it engages its wash-water connection.

Understanding this situation

Do not assume asymmetry is permitted unless the manual specifically describes it. A basket that rolls into the cabinet may still be incorrectly supported or obstruct another component.

A useful next step

Refit or adjust only through the documented owner procedure. If a side will not lock normally, stop rather than forcing the door closed. Report the rack issue separately from a general complaint that the dishwasher no longer cleans.

Manuals and supporting guidance

Model-specific instructions take priority. These references support the practical principles discussed here; they do not diagnose your appliance.
