Marantz SA-11S1 Drawer Will Not Open Properly

Hello hope someone can steer me in the right direction or help. My Marantz CD/SACD player drawer will not open. It wants to as I can hear it trying to but the only way to open is to grab the drawer on both sides after hitting the open button and gently force or manually open it. What can cause this issue? Is it a software issue or something else possibly? I took the outer case off and looked in to see if anything was impeding or interfering with the drawer and couldn't see anything out of the ordinary.

I have a SA-11S1 with a similar issue, drawer sticking. I put a little bit of graphite dry lube on the sides of the drawer, and that seems to help quite a bit.

Mine has the Ultimate Tube Mod by pcX, and is therefore very difficult to replace, it still sounds great. Since using the dry lube, I might have to hit the open button twice once in a while, but for the most part, I don't have to manually assist the drawer with opening anymore.

Cheers,
John
