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 don't know this machine specifically but it sounds to me as though a worn, broken belt or a gear that has slipped of its axle. Hope it turns out to be something that simple.
Probably the easiest thing to do would be to just replace the transport. As long as the wires are not soldiered, it should be a simple job that you can do yourself.
open her up and check the belts and its all possible the side rails the draw glides on might just be dusty and in need of some cleaning. Just a thought that might be an easy fix...good luck
