316407402 Frigidaire Range Rear Drawer Glide – Fix Your Storage Drawer That Won't Slide, Is Stuck, or Falls Off Track

If your range's storage drawer won't slide in and out smoothly, gets stuck halfway, falls off the track when you pull it out, or makes grinding noises when you open or close it, you're dealing with a worn or broken drawer glide. This is a common problem with ranges that have bottom storage drawers, and it makes accessing your pots, pans, and baking sheets incredibly frustrating. A broken glide can also cause the drawer to tilt or wobble, making it difficult to load or unload items safely.

The rear drawer glide is the plastic track component mounted at the back of the storage drawer opening that guides the drawer as it slides in and out. It works together with the front glides to keep the drawer aligned and moving smoothly on its track. The glide includes a roller or slide mechanism that bears the weight of the drawer and its contents as you open and close it repeatedly throughout the day.

Over time — typically after 5 to 10 years of regular use — drawer glides fail because the plastic wears down from friction, cracks from the weight of heavy cookware, or breaks from forcing a stuck drawer. Each time you pull the drawer open or push it closed, the glide experiences stress and friction. Eventually the plastic roller wheels crack, the track grooves wear smooth, or the mounting tabs break off. When this happens, the drawer no longer slides smoothly and may even come completely off its track.

You'll know your rear drawer glide needs replacement if the drawer is hard to open or close, makes scraping or grinding sounds, tilts to one side, or if you can see visible cracks or breaks in the glide mechanism. This genuine OEM Frigidaire rear drawer glide is a direct replacement that will restore smooth, quiet drawer operation. Installation takes about 10 to 15 minutes and requires removing the drawer, unscrewing the old glide from the range cabinet, and installing the new one in its place.
