Possible Causes

Worn rack wheels, Damaged rack rails, Debris in rail tracks, Bent rack components

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.
