Possible Causes

Grease and carbon build-up on runners, Bent side rails, Worn telescopic runner bearings, Incorrect shelf installation

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Allow the oven to cool before removing shelves.

  • Remove and clean: Take out all shelves and side rails. Soak in warm soapy water and scrub off grease and carbon deposits.
  • Inspect for damage: Check rails and runners for bending or broken clips. Replace any damaged components.
  • Reinstall correctly: Fit shelves and runners according to the Caple manual, ensuring they are fully engaged in the side supports.
  • Lubrication: Do not use standard oils or greases inside the oven. If runners are worn, replace them rather than lubricating.
