Dennis M Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 OK, who has the skinny on drawers? 1999 Volvo VNL 610. Three drawer cabinet behind drivers seat. Anyone know how to get the drawers in and out? We have the middle drawer open and it will not close or come out of the cabinet. Nothing blocking it in the drawer below, just the slide on one side seems jammed. How do I get the top drawer out to investigate? Any ideas welcome!! Fri 5/6 Stationary for a while so I dove into he drawer issue. There is a black metal bracket that both stops the drawer from coming all the way out and is the female portion of the latch holding it closed. It has to be removed to get the drawer out. Two T25 Torx screws, but you need a shorty Torx driver to get at them. I used a 1/8" allen wrench. The drawer slides are held in by horizontal screws, one of which had backed out enough to stop the drawer from closing! Tightened all the screws and reassembled, works fine. Metal bracket needs to be properly adjusted to hold the drawer snug when closed to prevent rattles.

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted May 4, 2016 Report Share Posted May 4, 2016 It does come out. If now one answers tonight I'll pull one of our out tomorrow and tell ya how. It's either a catch at the top, or on either side at the bottom, can't remember which....

Jaydrvr Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 If you torque to one side rather aggressively, they will usually close. Push at the same time you're twisting, and it should go past the catch point. I've been doing that for years.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdickinson Posted May 5, 2016 Report Share Posted May 5, 2016 The latch is at the top of each drawer, pull up the lever on the drawer. Is something blocking it from above. Sounds like it may have jumped the track somewhere. Can you pull out the other drawers and inspect from top or bottom, Maybe post pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rdickinson Posted May 11, 2016 Report Share Posted May 11, 2016 Both of the drawers above the fridge were not catching so they would fly open. One was due to both of the Torx screws being loose on the cabinet rail which was tightened and the other was a faulty catch which was replaced. Remove brown plastic handle from the back with Torx screws. Latch part VO 21202505 Same latch fits both top and bottom drawer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
