Possible Causes
Warped drawer rails, Food debris in slide tracks, Bent cabinet guides, Swollen plastic from overheating
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Ensure the unit is cool before forcing the drawer.
- Remove and inspect: Carefully remove the drawer and basket. Inspect the side rails and bottom guides for food debris or burnt residue.
- Clean tracks: Wipe the tracks and guides with a damp cloth. Remove any hardened grease or crumbs.
- Check for warping: Place the drawer on a flat surface to see if it rocks or appears twisted. Replace if significantly warped.
- Inspect cabinet guides: Look inside the cavity for bent metal guides. Gently straighten minor bends with pliers.
- Do not force: Forcing a misaligned drawer can damage the basket switch actuator. If alignment cannot be restored, replace the drawer assembly.
