Shelves are difficult to slide, and a scraping noise occurs when pulling out bottles.

Safety: No electrical hazards for this repair. Work with the unit unplugged if you remove internal fittings.

Steps:

• 1. Remove shelves: Slide out and remove affected shelves.
• 2. Clean rails: Vacuum and wipe the rail tracks to remove debris.
• 3. Inspect rails: Check for bending or misalignment. Gently straighten if possible.
• 4. Tighten screws: Secure any loose rail mounting screws.
• 5. Lubrication: If allowed by AEG, apply a small amount of food-safe silicone lubricant to metal-on-metal contact points (avoid plastic parts unless specified).
