Whirlpool Range broiler or storage drawer won't close
If your Whirlpool range broiler drawer or storage drawer won't close, the drawer glide is the most likely cause. A broken, worn, or misaligned glide can prevent the drawer from sliding fully into the range. Next, inspect the drawer supports and drawer guides, which can also break or shift out of position. Before replacing parts, remove cooking trays, pans, or other items to make sure the drawer is not obstructed. If the problem continues, check the drawer slide rails and drawer tracks for damage, bending, or misalignment. These parts guide the drawer along the side rails, so even a small defect can leave the oven drawer stuck or create other range drawer problems. Unplug the range before inspecting or removing the drawer, and support it carefully while checking the hardware. Replace damaged drawer glides, supports, guides, slide rails, or tracks as needed. Enter your Whirlpool range model number to find the exact replacement part for your specific range and confirm that it fits the broiler drawer or storage drawer.
