# Dacor glideracks and runner service

### The part of the cabinet that actually gets used

The oak racks glide out so that bottles come forward in a tray rather than being reached for one at a time, and that mechanism is worked harder than anything else in the column. Runners bind, a rack sits proud and stops the door sealing, a rail spreads under a hundred bottles' worth of weight. It is the smallest visit on this list and one of the most satisfying, because the result is immediate and visible the moment a shelf is pulled.

What this involves

Used more than any other part of the cabinet, and wears accordingly

A rack sitting proud is a door-seal problem waiting to be misdiagnosed

Small visit, immediate result

Unload and run every rack

Each one out and back under load. Binding shows on the return stroke, not the pull.

Service or replace the runners

Clean, lubricate where the design allows it, replace where a rail has spread. Wood racks in a cold cabinet move with humidity and need the runner to be right.

Check the door closes on a loaded cabinet

A rack half an inch proud will hold the door open just enough to cost the whole column its stability.

### One rack binds and the others are fine.

That is a runner, and it is a small job. All of them binding usually means the cabinet is sitting out of level, which is a different and cheaper correction.

### Can a rack really cause a temperature problem?

Yes. Half an inch proud is enough to hold the door off its seal, and a zone then warms continuously while everything inside the cabinet is working correctly.
