Possible Causes

Bent basket rails, Warped basket from overheating, Food debris in side tracks, Damaged basket latch mechanism

How to Fix / Troubleshooting

Safety first: Let the unit cool before forcing the basket in or out.

Cleaning and inspection:

  • Remove the basket and pan and clean the side rails and bottom of the cavity to remove crumbs and grease.
  • Inspect the basket rails on the sides of the cavity for bends or damage.
  • Check the basket frame for warping or deformation, especially near the front latch area.

Adjustment:

  • Slightly bent metal rails can sometimes be gently straightened with pliers.
  • If the basket latch is broken or the basket is warped so it no longer slides smoothly, replace the basket and pan assembly.
