Drawer Hard to Open

I have NL 10.2 RR and one of the drawers is very difficult to open. The others, simply pull up and out. The one that is hard, it has to be "giggled" quite a bit to get it to release and open. I pulled out the drawer to see if there was anything unusual about it, but still is difficult to open. Any thoughts on how to correct this?

    We bought the camper used, so it was like that when we got it.
  • more likely a 'Dodge' thing but...
    Does it have the little plastic lock catches on the bottom?
    Ours sometimes I have to pull drawers to adjust. Normally though its pulling down because they don't catch enough but the kitchen that gets yanked alot the plastic starts to hang further down untill it wont release, then its reaching hand underneath pushing that plastic catch up to release.
  • I had the same problem with my NL I replaced the drawer glides to full length glides. The way Northern cuts then they don't align well. I think if you check you will find the track attached to the cabinet is not square with the drawer, if you square the track up it should solve your problem.

    Does it bind when you are sliding it in or out?

    Or is the bind when it's locked? like it won't unlock?

    I have a similiar complaint and in my case, it is the locked and won't unlock issue.
