Common Symptoms
- Drawer is difficult to open or close
- Drawer is misaligned or will not close fully
- Drawer binds, sticks, or makes unusual sliding noises
- Visible rail damage, wear, or displaced bearings
Check Before Replacing
- With the refrigerator secured and the drawer unloaded, observe whether the left rail binds, separates, or fails to track while the drawer is moved gently.
- Inspect the left slide rail for cracks, bent sections, excessive wear, loose components, or displaced bearings.
- Compare the drawer alignment and movement on the left side with the right-side rail; do not force the drawer if resistance is excessive.
- Verify that the problem is on the left rail before ordering, since the right-side rail is a different component.
Pro Tip
Unload the freezer drawer before inspection or removal; excess weight can obscure rail damage and increase the risk of further misalignment.

Installation Notes
- Disconnect power and follow the refrigerator’s service or owner documentation before beginning work.
- The drawer assembly and related drawer components may need to be removed to access the rail mounting points.
- Support the drawer during removal and installation to prevent it from dropping or stressing the opposite rail.
- Install the replacement only in the left-side position and verify that the rail and drawer are aligned before gently testing movement.
- Wear work gloves because rail edges and damaged components may be sharp.
