How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: No electrical work required; unplug if defrosting ice.
Steps to improve drawer movement:
- 1. Remove drawers: Take out all drawers and inspect for cracks or warping.
- 2. Defrost ice: If ice is present on runners or tracks, defrost the freezer and wipe dry.
- 3. Clean tracks: Remove crumbs and debris from the runners and contact surfaces.
- 4. Avoid overloading: Do not exceed recommended load; heavy loads can deform drawers.
- 5. Replace damaged drawers: Fit new Caple drawers if existing ones are warped or cracked.
Note: Do not use lubricants inside the freezer; they can become sticky and unhygienic.
