Possible Causes

Bent drawer rails, Warped basket from overheating, Debris in rail tracks, Misaligned front housing, Damaged latch mechanism

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the unit to cool before forcing the drawer.

  • Clean rails: Remove the basket and clean the side rails and bottom support surfaces of crumbs and grease.
  • Check for warping: Place the basket and drawer on a flat surface to see if they rock or appear twisted. Replace warped basket/drawer assemblies.
  • Inspect rails: Look inside the cavity for bent metal or plastic guides. Carefully straighten minor bends with pliers.
  • Housing alignment: Ensure the front panel is not loose or distorted. Tighten mounting screws.
  • Latch check: Inspect the drawer latch mechanism for broken plastic that could snag the drawer. Replace if damaged.
