Possible Causes

Bent drawer rails, Warped plastic housing from heat, Food debris in rail tracks, Damaged drawer latch mechanism

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Ensure the unit is cool before forcing the drawer; hot metal edges can cause burns.

Steps to correct drawer issues:

  • Inspect rails: Remove the basket and drawer completely. Examine the drawer rails and guides inside the cavity for bends, cracks, or melted areas.
  • Clean tracks: Remove crumbs and grease from the rails using a brush and damp cloth. Dry thoroughly.
  • Check drawer body: Inspect the drawer sides and bottom for warping or cracks. Replace the Pro Breeze air fryer drawer/basket assembly if deformed.
  • Align rails: Gently bend any slightly misaligned metal rails back into position using padded pliers. Do not over‑bend.
  • Test insertion: Slide the empty drawer in and out several times to confirm smooth movement before use.

Warning: Forcing a jammed drawer can break the door switch actuator and create safety issues.
