How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the unit to cool before forcing the basket.
- Clean rails and guides: Remove the basket and clean the side rails and bottom guides of the drawer and housing.
- Inspect for warping: Check the basket and drawer for heat warping or deformation. Replace if significantly distorted.
- Check latch: Ensure the front latch and handle assembly are not cracked or misaligned.
- Do not force: Forcing a jammed drawer can damage the basket detection switch and frame. Correct alignment or replace damaged parts instead.
