Hello,

maybe some experienced Ikea fans can help me...

I have a beautiful IKEA kitchen, bought in 2009 and assembled by a former IKEA fitter. I'm not really talented at something like that.

Now to my problem: I have two 90 cm corner base cabinets and by now the carousels inside can hardly be turned. In one cabinet it creaks and squeaks terribly and you really can hardly turn it. In the other one it has recently started to creak as well and both levels turn.

I already had the impression that it might be due to the load and tried to distribute the weight more evenly. But that brought little improvement. Overall, the whole thing got worse.

In one cabinet there are plastic items and a few ceramic casserole dishes, which are evenly distributed in the lower section.

In the other cabinet there are pots and pans.

Does anyone have a good tip for me? I would really appreciate it.

Thanks and best regards

from Sternchen

Hello,

I would first check if all parts are where they belong (refer to the assembly instructions for this) and check whether any parts show signs of wear. If everything is in order, it is recommended to spray all movable parts with silicone spray.
It should be noted that the maximum load per shelf is specified as 12 kg.

Hello IKEA expert,

thank you very much for the tips. I will take a look at it over the weekend and get some silicone spray. However, I’m afraid the pots actually weigh more than 12 kg per shelf, and I would actually have to put them somewhere else. And that will be really difficult, as the kitchen is very small, with the stove between the corner cabinets, and then there is only a drawer cabinet, a trash bin cabinet, and a sink base cabinet.

But well, first I will try your advice and then we’ll see.

Have a nice evening
Stern

That is really little cupboard space. I also have a small kitchen and try to make use of everything possible. I have trash in the sink base cabinet and in the toe kick drawer.

Yes, I also have a plinth drawer under the stove. In the trash bin cabinet, I only have the small bins without sliding rails, to leave space for other things (cleaning supplies), and also an additional hanging basket that doesn’t normally belong there. There is also a water boiler in the cabinet under the sink, so there’s simply no room for trash bins. The kitchen is really not big, and the IKEA kitchen planner already gave an error back then, saying that the two sides should be more than 1.20 m apart... Trying to move around in the kitchen with two people only works if you really like each other...
