It sounds like perhaps the unit is either not level ( leaning forward slightly ) or the rack bearings are worn thus the rack slides forward, especially when loaded with dishes.
To adjust the legs on the Viking/Asko dishwashers you`ll need to access the front or rear legs or both and either screw them up or down...then lock the nuts in place.
i.e.
...However if the rack rollers are worn, the bearings are tricky. There is usually evidence of them wearing ( but not always ) in the form of gray plastic pieces being found in the tub...
i.e.
Here's what works for me, move the rack stops to the left if you haven't already and then the rack itself.
Hi Lane, Actually I would try adjusting the legs before replacing the upper rack bearing/holders since you'd likely need to order those parts or the very least pick them up at a local part supplier. It shouldn't be necessary to pull the D/W out and in fact by removing the toe panel be able to reach to the back and adjust the rear legs. **Turn the power off to the unit first of course** Let me know how you do. I'm presently on my iphone, but when I return to my hotel later I can send you part numbers and further assistance if need be...keep me posted. Good luck. Regards, Macmarkus :)
