Drawer is "sticky".

Question

We had some work done on our FW this summer an started getting it ready for a little trip to Yellowstone NP.  Turned out there was sawdust in a few of the drawers.  The top smaller drawer to the right of the sink is very hard pulling out and pushing back in.  Our trailer is a HT 26.5 RLS and this is the only drawer with a problem at this time.  Could somebody help with with taking the drawer out so we can look at the rest of the slide assembly?  I am not much of a mechanic or handyman so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Pull draw at just far enough to reach the release levers on side of slide trackOne side goes up to release and other side goes downThen pull draw completely out of slide track

We had a problem where the slides at the back of the drawer were closer together then the front causing the drawer to get pinched as you pushed it in. Adjusting one of the rear slides fixed the problem.

Old-Biscuit, I have looked all over the drawers slides and cannot seem to find any kind of latch.  There are little loops at the front, but no latches.  Any other place you might know about?

On my fw, they are long and narrow.  Use a flashlight or a toothpick to poke along the track.
