How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety first: No electrical work is required; turn off power at the control if desired.
- Clean rails: Remove the racks and clean the rail tracks with warm, soapy water. Remove any debris or hardened detergent.
- Inspect wheels: Check rack wheels for flat spots, cracks, or missing pieces. Replace worn wheels or clips.
- Check for bending: Inspect racks and rails for bending or misalignment. Gently straighten if possible or replace damaged parts.
- Lubricate lightly: If allowed by the manufacturer, apply a small amount of food-safe silicone spray to the rails to improve glide.
