Possible Causes
Warped basket from overheating, Bent internal rails or guides, Food debris obstructing rails, Misaligned door frame
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the unit to cool before attempting to adjust metal parts.
Steps to improve basket fit:
- Clean rails and basket: Remove all grease and debris from the basket edges and internal rails using warm soapy water and a non-abrasive pad.
- Inspect for warping: Place the basket on a flat surface to check for rocking or distortion. Replace the basket if significantly warped.
- Check rails: Look inside the cavity for bent or spread rails. Gently straighten minor bends with padded pliers.
- Verify door alignment: Ensure the door closes squarely. Tighten hinge screws if loose.
Note: Do not force the basket in or out, as this can damage the door latch and rails.
