Slide out cabinets shaking loose
« on: July 02, 2025, 10:15:48 am »
Our 2015 2910D has been a beast. Super reliable. That said the roads in Kentucky have loosened the cabinets mounted below the stove top and causing separation from the side of the slide out. We just completed our trek from Texas to upstate NY and I want to secure before heading back. Anyone else have this issue and can offer any input before I start?

Found a guy in. Vermontville NY that got me sorted.  The original bolts / screws broke - not very hefty and I assume the roads in Kentucky did me in:)

I'm curious, were these bolts/screws the ones holding the cabinets to the walls/floor, or somewhere else inside the cabinets?   


It's now a habit to check the drawer slides once a year after noticing one time that my top drawer wouldn't close square because the (filing cabinet style) slide hardware was loose and screws had backed out quite a bit. But(!), I haven't been looking and checking anywhere else and a few times I year I drive through Oklahoma and Arkansas on their extremely bumpy roads... So I'm concerned now.

Larry - they were the bolts that connected to the side of the slide out (below microwave). We had a good 2 inches of separation at the bottom. The drawers would not close due to misalignment.  Kind of surprising as the overall build quality has been very good

For drawers that chronically come loose, tighten the screws you have to the proper alignment, then add many more screws.  That took care of it for me.
