Drawer or basket is difficult to insert or remove; it may jam or scrape.

Safety: Allow the unit to cool before forcing the drawer.

Steps:

• 1. Clean rails: Remove the drawer and clean any food or grease from the side rails and bottom support surfaces.
• 2. Inspect drawer: Check the basket and outer pan for warping or cracks. Replace if badly deformed.
• 3. Check rails: Look inside the cavity for bent metal or plastic guides. Gently straighten minor bends.
• 4. Latch mechanism: Inspect the handle latch and any locking tabs for damage; replace the drawer assembly if the latch is broken.
