The bottom drawer has only a few bottles of water. Not tall enough to lodge drawer. The drawer will only pull out about a half inch.

I have the same problem. I have almost nothing in the drawer. I can open the drawer just far enough to see that nothing is blocking it from opening on the forward edge. The freezer has been empty and turned off in the sun all afternoon and the top compartment has thawed and dried out already, so ice may not be the problem?

I noticed the frost was building up, so I took all the contents of the 'freezer' drawer out. Since then I have not been able to open the drawer. Very annoying drawer. It has not kept food frozen in the drawer either.

Bottom drawer will not open. There are no contents in the drawer and have totally dethawed the freezer - still will not open.

Can you supply more info? Was there food in there that could have frozen in a position to lock up the door slides?

Frigidaire bottom freezer spills ice when opened and I can't shut the drawer til I fish the ice cubes out.

You might be well served with a general defrost of the unit. But before you do, make sure that the mounting screws on the ice maker are fully in. Then if so, warm the lower surface of the ice maker where cubes are ejected with a hair dryer for a minute or two (medium not high). It could be that extraneous ice is catching the cubes. What does it feel like to the hand?

I would use a hairdryer to defrost the door secton with the other part closed off or covered.

Bottom drawer hard to close

Check the drawer slides on each side for cracks or a screw that has come loose. The drawer should slide in a groove on each side firmly. Hope this helps. JT
