Kenmore Range broiler or storage drawer won't close
If your Kenmore range broiler drawer or storage drawer won't close, start with the drawer glide, the most likely cause. A broken, worn, or misaligned glide can prevent the drawer from moving smoothly on its side rails. Next, inspect the drawer supports and drawer guides for damage or misalignment, since either part can keep the drawer from seating correctly. Remove the drawer contents and check for an obstructed drawer, such as a cooking tray, pan, or other stored item. If the problem continues, examine the drawer slide rails and drawer tracks for bends, wear, or misalignment. These parts guide the drawer as it opens and closes, and damaged hardware can cause common range drawer problems. Before removing or replacing parts, compare both sides of the drawer mechanism and check for loose fasteners or visible damage. Enter your Kenmore range model number to find the exact replacement drawer glide, support, guide, slide rail, or track for your specific range. With the correct part and careful alignment, you can repair the broiler drawer or storage drawer instead of replacing the appliance.
