Hello everyone, I recently got a Malm chest of drawers with several drawers and have noticed that some parts need replacing. Since I want to do the repairs myself, I’m particularly interested in which replacement parts for the Malm drawers are most important to ensure smooth operation. I’m thinking of wear parts like rails, rollers, or handles, as well as specific small components. I’m especially curious about which parts tend to break most often and which ones are best to keep in stock to quickly fix any issues. Thanks in advance for your experiences and tips!

You won’t find suitable drawer slides for Malm at a hardware store. These are really only available from IKEA or specialized online shops.

I once had a slightly different problem: the drawer kept squeaking. After cleaning and lubricating it with silicone spray, the issue was resolved. Maybe maintenance should be considered before parts are completely replaced.

Thanks for the tip, I will definitely try that before ordering replacement parts. Maintenance seems like a simple first step.
