KV GS4270 Drawer Slides No Longer Fully Close

I hope the same for me next Saturday. I have some minor electrical work to do, and I need to install a garbage disposal, both of which I *should* do before installing the drawers. I'll need the light and I'll need the hardware stores to be open. However, unless I at least test fit the drawers first thing, I'll be distracted all day thinking about them.

How much do you want to bet that I least remeasure the openings within 5 minutes of my arrival late Friday night? I probably won't be able to sleep unless I do. ;-)

LOL, So some how or another I installed one of the drawer units, in the island, that was supposed to go somewhere else. One would think it would be obvious as to which went where but the one for the island had to be a bit narrower than the opening because of electrical conduit on one end. Sooooo the really generous fit did not strike me as odd. But then I had the last unit to install and it was about 1/2" too wide. Out comes the island unit and into the last cabinet. Just like I measured. LOL. And so on.

I hate wondering if I looked at the right side of the inch indicator... Was it 24.5" or 23.5". :~0

At least you realized what you did wrong pretty quick.

Sure would have sucked if you had thought that you built the last unit too big and went home to build another one. :-0

Wondering is bad enough but it's worse when you cut to the wrong/short side. BTDT

There is that. LOL

Yes! LOL

I had the same problem for the last 25 minutes. Fixed it.

I removed the drawer below to compare slow close red and black gear in the back.

In the front of the red gear, half way up, there is a 1/4 in switch. The black switch moves the internals some. If moved down it releases the retrieval system.

1. Check that the one on the left rail is doing soft close and check that the right side is set to do soft close. (This can be seen when you push the cabinet rails in yet they will stop about an inch out.

It seems that the rails slide close yet sit out an inch. So with the drawer out both side should slide back and the stick out an inch. The cabinet rail will sit out until the drawer rail slides past this point and release the gear to pull the drawer in. Some how both side needs to work to pull evenly.

I may have had the left side drop down and not pull.

I set both sides to soft close and it worked on one drawer. Then the next one didn’t close correct. I looked in and had the right side drop out of soft close. I pushed the switch up and set it again. Now they all clothes fully.
