Possible Causes
Warped basket or drawer from overheating, Bent internal rails, Food debris lodged in slide tracks, Damaged plastic guides
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: Allow the unit to cool before forcing the basket.
- Inspect tracks: Remove the basket and drawer completely. Check the side rails and bottom guides for burnt food or debris. Clean thoroughly.
- Check for warping: Place the basket and drawer on a flat surface to see if they rock or appear twisted. Replace any warped components.
- Inspect housing: Look inside the cavity for bent metal or plastic guides. Gently straighten minor bends with pliers.
- Test fit: Reinsert the drawer without food to confirm smooth operation before use.
Do not force a jammed basket; this can damage the safety switch and front frame.
