drawer under refridgerator t@b 400

kaylevine1 · June 2020

2019 t@b 400 original design-went camping last weekend upon arrival the door under the refridgerator would not close-emptied out-don't see anything behind can't figure out how to get the drawer off so i can look better to make sure nothing is caught in there-anybody know how to take the drawer out or what might be causing the obstruction?-i figured something may have fallen behind from the top of the drawer-but only about 2 finger's space to see through-shined a light but hard to see-it stays about an inch from closing seems to be hitting something
thanks in advance for any suggestions

There are two black plastic levers on the sides of the drawer slides. One should gently push up and the other side should go in the opposite direction. Depress both of these and slide the drawer all the way out. CAUTION: Be extra careful not to hit the drawer front on the wardrobe closet door as you will scratch the surface. If this happens, I have a very easy cosmetic fix. To get the drawer back in, just introduce the inner part of the slide into the outer part and gently push it forward.

What you might find is that the catch at the rear of the drawer failed to 'grab' the back of the drawer. If this is the case, firm pressure on the drawer when it is replaced should resolve this.

Hope you got it off OK. BTW, if you ever need to replace the drawer mechanisms, you can find them at Home Depot. They identical to OEM slide mechanisms.

PS...don't ask me how I know.

We had a similar problem with one of the drawers under the countertop. Turns out the mechanism that “catches’ the hook on the back of each drawer was defective and would not open to receive the hook... so the drawer would never close all the way. I found and purchased the exact replacement part on Amazon, replaced it fairly easily in a few minutes, and have had no issues since. This is a link to the thread where I discussed this with the forum, and where you will also find a link to the part I purchased from Amazon.

Just an fyi. I unscrewed the panel below the drawer and fitted a piano hinge and magnetic child lock. So now i have easy access to the winterising valve. I mounted my surge protector there too on the floor.
