Freezer baskets or drawers difficult to slide, sticking due to frost or misalignment.

Safety: Unplug the freezer before defrosting or forcing stuck parts.

Steps:

• Defrost: If frost is visible on rails or runners, perform a manual defrost until all ice is removed.
• Inspect rails: Check Fisher & Paykel drawer rails for cracks or warping. Replace damaged drawer rail assemblies.
• Reduce load: Avoid overloading baskets beyond their design capacity.
• Lubrication: Do not use oil-based lubricants inside the freezer. If needed, use a food-safe silicone spray sparingly on metal rails only.
