Kitchen drawer slider broke

What happens here

Carefully pull the affected kitchen drawer completely out of its cabinet. Observe the broken slider mechanism, noting how it detached from the drawer's wooden frame due to cracked wood and loose screws. Compare this to the intact slider on the opposite side of the drawer, which typically shows screws secured not only from the front but also from the side and bottom, providing better stability. This comparison helps in understanding the original fault and planning the repair.

Goal: Identify the cause of the drawer slider failure.
