Drawer or basket is difficult to slide in or out; may stick or jam.

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

Steps to improve drawer movement:

• 1. Clean rails and guides: Remove the basket and drawer. Wipe the side rails and bottom guides inside the cavity to remove grease and crumbs.
• 2. Inspect for warping: Check the drawer sides and front for warping or bulging. Replace the basket/drawer assembly if deformed.
• 3. Check chassis guides: Look for bent metal or plastic guides inside the unit. Gently straighten minor bends.
• 4. Light lubrication: If allowed by the manual, apply a very small amount of food-safe lubricant to metal rails (avoid plastic contact). Do not over-lubricate.
