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.
