Common freezer repair parts you may need
Replacing one of these freezer parts may fix your problem.
Shelves Replacement
Damaged freezer shelves can create obstacles for the movement of a freezer drawer in various ways. These shelves provide support for items and help maintain the freezer's stability. When a shelf breaks, it may droop or shift from its proper position, causing the drawer above or below to encounter difficulty when opening or closing. Furthermore, fragments or edges from the broken shelf can block the drawer's path, making it harder to slide smoothly. This obstruction not only makes it challenging to reach items inside the drawer but also increases the risk of additional damage to the drawer or other parts if force is used to overcome the blockage.
Door Replacement
A damaged freezer door could lead to issues with the drawer. When closing, the door might collide with the drawer, resulting in damage. A Sears Home Services Technician can inspect your door to assess the problem. In some cases, a straightforward adjustment of the door can resolve the drawer issue. If adjustments prove ineffective, the technician will replace the door to address the problem.
Icemaker Assembly Replacement
A faulty icemaker assembly in the freezer could lead to issues with a drawer. If the icemaker fails to release a batch of frozen ice cubes from its mold and subsequently activates the water fill valve to refill the ice mold, excess water may spill out and leak into the freezer. This leaking water can freeze around a drawer, preventing it from opening properly. Replacing the icemaker assembly is the solution to this type of drawer problem. If you encounter a freezer drawer that won't pull out, schedule a visit from a Sears Home Services Technician to address the issue.
