Possible Causes
Bent shelf rails from overloading, warped wooden shelves due to moisture, loose rail mounting screws, ice buildup on rails
How to Fix / Troubleshooting
Safety: Remove bottles before adjusting shelves to prevent breakage.
Steps to restore smooth shelf operation:
- Inspect rails: Remove the shelf and check the side rails for bending or misalignment. Gently straighten them if only slightly deformed.
- Tighten fixings: Tighten any loose screws securing the rails to the cabinet walls.
- Check for ice: If frost is present on the rails, defrost the unit and investigate defrost or door seal issues.
- Replace components: If rails or shelves are badly warped or damaged, replace the shelf rail set or wooden shelf as appropriate.
Note: Do not exceed the maximum bottle capacity per shelf specified by Caple to avoid future deformation.
