This will sometimes occur because manufacturers are using thinner and cheaper metals for the cabinets. Its just from expansion and contraction from the heat. It will occur more frequently if you use self clean often because its very tough on the components of your oven due to to high temps. Unfortunately theres no way to "bang out" the cavity. My only suggestion would be to get a couple of clamps that go around the sidebar of the rack and put bolts through them to extend the sides of the rack so they will not fall off the tracks. It wouldnt be pretty but it should hold them in place. Hope this helps _MJ_
The cavity can be replaced BUT you are going to have to re-insulate everything which is borderline impossible. You will also have to rewire and relocate basically everything in the unit (bake and broil elements and thermostats if electric) or (burner tube and bake and broil ignitors if gas) also your temp sensor, light socket, latch assembly, door light switch, door and hinges.....its just not worth the time. Im not sure what you spent on the unit but it would be ALOT of work. It can be done but you would never get a bid from a service guy to do it that wouldnt exceed the cost of the unit. If you want a week project it can be done if they sell the cavity which most do. Also remember you will probably pay an extra 75 bucks or so on top of the part from most distributors for oversize shipping. (they charge oversize shipping on washer tubs so im assuming you will pay that on the cabinet because they are relatively the same size). Im not telling you not to do it but I would definitely weigh the cost of the unit as opposed to the time and money you would put into the repair.

also keep in mind if it bowed once it will probably bow again because you will receive the exact same cavity...

Can't the cavity be replaced?
I paid close to 2k for the unit. 5 years..terrible...should have bought a wolf...thanks for the info...I'll try the clamp and extend the width. Or maybe take the racks to a machinest and have him spot weld a piece of a rack to the rack sides.
It's not what I wanted to hear but its the easiest fix. Thanks for the imput.
