Air fryer drawer is difficult to insert or remove; it may jam or not close fully.

Safety first: Ensure the unit is cool before forcing the drawer.

Steps to improve drawer movement:

• Remove and inspect: Take out the frying basket and drawer. Check the side rails and bottom guides for burnt-on food or grease.
• Clean rails: Wipe rails and guides with warm soapy water and a non-abrasive sponge. Dry thoroughly.
• Check for warping: Place the drawer on a flat surface to see if it rocks or appears twisted. Warped drawers should be replaced.
• Inspect latch: Examine the front latch and any plastic guides for cracks or deformation. Replace the drawer/latch assembly if damaged.
• Reinsert carefully: Align the drawer squarely with the rails and slide in without forcing. Forcing can damage the basket detection switch.

Warning: Do not use lubricants like oil or grease on the rails; they can smoke at high temperatures and contaminate food.
