ᐅ What should I do if an IKEA BRIMNES drawer gets stuck?

Do you often use the drawer with heavy loads? Sometimes the runners bend or the rollers become loose. Carefully remove the drawer and inspect the guide rails. Usually, cleaning and a light silicone spray help. Replacing the rollers may be necessary.

To systematically fix a jammed Brimnes drawer, please consider the following steps:

- Carefully remove the drawer by releasing the locks on the runners.
- Inspect the side rails for any deformations, loose screws, or foreign objects.
- The alignment of the furniture piece is important – if the dresser is not level, this can cause jamming.
- Check the rollers for damage and ensure they rotate smoothly.
- Avoid using oil-based lubricants as they attract dirt.
- Use silicone spray on the sliding parts to ensure smooth and clean operation.

Replace any defective components. Following this systematic approach will ensure lasting functionality.

Most of the time, this is caused by the rail or the rollers running incorrectly due to excessive weight or improper loading.

This is often the case. I would also recommend checking the drawer not only for the sliding rails but also for worn or damaged plastic parts on the back. Sometimes the drawer sticks because the back panel is not properly fitted.
