Universal Range broiler or storage drawer won't close

Won’t your Universal range broiler drawer or storage drawer close? A damaged or misaligned drawer glide is the most likely cause. The glide supports the drawer as it moves along the side rails, and worn or broken parts can prevent the drawer from seating properly. Next, inspect the drawer support and drawer guide for cracks, bending, or misalignment. An obstructed drawer is another common cause, so remove pans, cooking trays, or other stored items and check that nothing is catching on the cabinet or drawer opening. If the problem continues, examine the drawer slide rails and drawer tracks for damage, looseness, or alignment issues. Replace any part that is worn rather than forcing the drawer closed, which can cause additional damage. This repair applies to both a Universal range broiler drawer and storage drawer. Enter your model number to find the exact drawer glide, support, guide, slide rail, or track that fits your specific range, stove, or oven. Once the correct part is identified, inspect the mounting points and align both sides before testing the drawer.
