Hello everyone, I noticed that the drawer rollers on two of the drawers of my IKEA Malm dresser are broken. I would like to know how to replace the Malm drawer rollers without having to disassemble the entire dresser. Is there a specific procedure to follow or any important things to watch out for to properly remove the rollers and install the new ones? Also, I’m interested in whether it’s better to use original IKEA replacement parts or if compatible rollers work just as well without causing the drawer to stick or get damaged. Thanks in advance for your tips and advice!

Original parts are always recommended.Absolutely, that really makes sense, especially with IKEA furniture since the dimensions and click mechanisms are often very specific! 😊I replaced the drawer rollers on my Malm drawers myself and found it super easy when you have the right replacement set. Just pull out the drawer, remove the old rollers, and snap the new ones on. Then everything runs smoothly again, like new! It saves a lot of frustration and didn’t take much time at all – great success! Good luck!

Important: Do not use force to avoid breaking anything. Simply clip the new rollers in until they snap into place. It’s best to remove the drawer completely.Davidleo schrieb:
