Freezer shelves or drawers difficult to slide, with ice forming around runners and rails.

Safety: Unplug the freezer before performing a full defrost.

• 1. Manual defrost: Remove drawers and allow all ice to melt. Clean and dry runners and rails.
• 2. Check door gasket and closure: Repair or replace gasket and ensure proper door alignment to reduce moisture ingress.
• 3. Avoid overloading: Do not pack drawers so tightly that air cannot circulate; leave some space around items.
• 4. Adjust temperature: If set extremely low, raise the setpoint slightly to reduce frost formation while maintaining safe storage.

Note: Regularly cleaning and lightly lubricating plastic runners with food-safe silicone can improve drawer movement.
