      Common Causes:

      1. Misaligned Drawer Tracks:

        • The drawer tracks might be misaligned, preventing the drawer from closing properly.

      2. Obstructions in the Drawer Track:

        • Debris or objects might be obstructing the drawer tracks, preventing smooth operation.

      3. Damaged or Worn Drawer Glides or Wheels:

        • The drawer glides or wheels might be damaged or worn out, causing the drawer to stick.

      4. Bent or Damaged Drawer Frame:

        • The frame of the drawer or the range might be bent or damaged, affecting the alignment.

      5. Improper Installation:

        • The drawer might not have been installed correctly, leading to alignment issues.

      Troubleshooting Steps:

      1. Remove the Drawer and Inspect Tracks:

        • Carefully pull the drawer out and remove it from the range.
        • Inspect the drawer tracks for any visible signs of misalignment or damage.
        • Check for any debris or objects obstructing the tracks. Clean the tracks thoroughly.

      2. Realign the Drawer Tracks:

        • Ensure the tracks on both the drawer and the range are properly aligned.
        • If the tracks are adjustable, make necessary adjustments to align them correctly.

      3. Inspect and Replace Drawer Glides or Wheels:

        • Check the drawer glides or wheels for any signs of wear or damage.
        • If the glides or wheels are damaged or worn out, replace them with new ones that match your range model.
        • Follow the manufacturer's instructions for replacing the glides or wheels.

      4. Check for Bent or Damaged Frame:

        • Inspect the frame of the drawer and the range for any signs of bending or damage.
        • If the frame is bent, carefully straighten it using pliers or a similar tool.
        • If the damage is severe, consider replacing the drawer or contacting a professional technician for repair.

      5. Ensure Proper Installation:

        • Reinstall the drawer, ensuring it is properly seated on the tracks.
        • Slide the drawer in and out several times to check for smooth operation.
        • Make sure the drawer closes completely and evenly.

      Additional Solutions:

      If the issue persists after following the above steps, consider seeking professional assistance. A technician can diagnose and fix more complex issues related to the drawer mechanism.
