Possible Causes
Warped drawer rails, Food debris in slide tracks, Bent chassis guides, Heat distortion of plastic components
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
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.
