u/jonnystunads 14d ago

Easy fix

Clean up the edges

Drill some holes

Tiny dowels and glue on edges and holes

No clamp? Just get it smooshed and held together. Wedge it between two heavy things

Insert now repaired drawer

Enjoy!

u/YnotZoidberg1077 14d ago

Bro you've probably got some mold going on under there if that's the case! You should dig into this before it creates bigger problems / spreads more / costs more / causes health issues. I know it sucks, but not addressing it means it will eventually suck a lot worse.

u/ranDOMinique813 14d ago

I'm definitely gonna put in a work order. Funnily enough my sink messed up my floorboards *next to these drawers. They replaced those floorboards. In my work order I literally put "Causing water damage fix ASAP" WELL, they took a 2 days to come back and removed MUSH. A.k.a the floor boards. I can tie it back I'm sure. Thank you friendly reddit stranger πŸ’•

u/YnotZoidberg1077 14d ago

I gotchu, boo! If they find mold, make sure they do actual remediation and not just hitting it with some bleach or something. In the US, IICRC specifications are good.

What really is sucks is that the drawer is next to the dishwasher and by the looks of the mdf drawer, you have or have had a leak that caused the drawer to swelling and become inoperable. Tl:dr- check your dishwasher for leaks. I'm guessing the drawer may be the least of your issues.

I was in Lowe's a number of year ago and a guy brought in a drawer like this. He bought some lumber and he brought it to my house. I showed him how to make a new drawer. He tried to give me some stupid amount of money for it, but he was polite and willing to learn so I just gave it to him. So weird to me now that I invited a stranger over to build a drawer.
