Tappan Range broiler or storage drawer won't close

Won’t your Tappan range broiler drawer or storage drawer close? Start by checking the drawer glide, the most likely cause. A broken, worn, or misaligned drawer glide can keep the drawer from sliding correctly on the side rails. Next, inspect the drawer support and drawer guide for damage or misalignment, then remove any cooking trays, pans, or other items that may be obstructing the drawer. If the broiler drawer or storage drawer still will not close, examine the slide rails and drawer tracks for bends, wear, or alignment problems. These parts guide the drawer as it opens and closes, and replacing a damaged drawer glide, support, guide, slide rail, or track can restore proper operation. This repair applies to Tappan ranges, stoves, and ovens with a drawer that is stuck, rubbing, or sitting unevenly. Before ordering a replacement part, enter your range model number to find the exact drawer part that fits your specific Tappan appliance. Always remove the drawer and inspect both sides so you can identify the damaged or obstructed component.
