5. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your storage cabinet.

Drawers Not Operating Smoothly:

• Check Alignment: Ensure the drawer slides on both the cabinet and the drawer itself are correctly aligned and installed. Misalignment is a common cause of sticking drawers.
• Verify Leveling: Confirm that the cabinet is placed on a level surface. An uneven cabinet can cause drawers to bind.
• Inspect for Obstructions: Look for any foreign objects or debris in the drawer slides.
• Lubrication: If slides feel stiff, a small amount of silicone-based lubricant can improve movement. Avoid excessive grease.

Loose or Wobbly Cabinet:

• Tighten Hardware: Re-check all cam locks and screws throughout the cabinet structure. Gently tighten any that feel loose.
• Ensure Proper Assembly: Review the assembly instructions to confirm all components are correctly installed and secured.

Damaged or Missing Parts:

• If you received damaged parts or are missing components, please contact Sauder customer support immediately for assistance. Refer to the "Support and Warranty" section for contact information.
