WARMING DRAWER
Component Access & Removal
4-4
Drawer Glide Assembly
The drawer glide assemblies are attached to the side
walls of the warming drawer cavity by two tabs on the
back side of each glide, one at the rear pointing back
and one toward the front pointing down. The rear tab is
inserted back into a slot in the cavity side wall and the
front tab is inserted down into another slot in the side
wall. With the glide rails fully extended, a hex-head
mounting screw is inserted through a clearance hole of
the outer glide rail and into the mounting hole in the
glide frame. Once the mounting hole is aligned with the
hole in the side wall, the screw is tightened, holding the
drawer glide assembly in place.
To remove a drawer glide assembly, the drawer box
and drawer frame must first be removed. Then, fully
extend the glide rails. Locate the mounting screw
inside the clearance hole of the outer glide rail. With a
thin walled 1/4” nut-driver or socket, extract the mount-
ing screw (See Figure 4-4). Lift the front of the glide
assembly up and toward the middle of the appliance to
disengage the front tab from the slot in the side wall,
then pull the drawer glide assembly forward to disen-
gage the rear tab.
Wire Box Cover
The wire box cover is attached to the right side of the
warming drawer, toward the front, with screws.
To access the wire box cover, the appliance will first
need to be removed from its installation. Then, extract
the screws that secure the cover to the side of the
appliance and pull the cover off. (See Figure 4-5)
Heat Element
The electrical terminals of the heat element pass
through holes in the right side wall of the warming
drawer cavity. Wire leads are connected to the heat
element terminals behind the right side wall. The
bracket which holds the ends of the heat element is
secured to the right side wall with two screws. Two J-
clips hook over the top of the element and are secured
to the floor of the warming drawer cavity with screws.
To access the heat element, the drawer box and drawer
frame must first be removed; the appliance must then
be extracted from its installation and the wire box cover
must be removed. Then, extract the J-clip mounting
screws from the floor of the cavity and remove the J-
clips (See Figure 4-6). Unplug the electrical leads from
the terminals. Extract the element bracket mounting
screws from the right side wall. Pull the heat element
to the left so that the electrical terminals are in the cavi-
ty and lift the heat element out of the cavity.
