Just a thought, but have you tried removing the oven door so that you can see to top of the drawer area better? This may give enough space to use something to move the items around inside the drawer, thus allowing for the drawer to open.
Most doors are removed by opening the door slightly and pulling up on the door to remove the hinge piece from the frame.

Yeah, then good luck getting the door back on.
At least you'll have a nice open face heater.

I'm fairly certain this has something to do with your escaped left underwire.

Intelligent people, like littlek, should have no problem putting the door back on. Simply slide it in and lift and push. I bet even you could do it if you tried real hard.

Getting the door back on isn't all that easy - especially on older stoves. They have personality, they have needs, and they aren't necessarily met by the door being put back on.

I have never had a problem with it. Then again, I have never had a problem putting anything back together. Well, there was that one time with the bra strap, but I digress.

Has anyone suggested rolling the oven away from the wall and then tipping it backwards (find someone strong), hopefully shifting the drawer contents?

Maybe you could use the orphaned right one to manipulate the left one, and any other troublemakers, in the stuck drawer?

Too late, I sent the other one packing years ago. What use is one underwire?

They are rawther handy poke-y things - can poke around corners.
Or, if another one disappeared, you'd have a back-up.

Have you tried fashioning a "hook" out of a clothes hanger, and "fishing" the offending article out of the way? Or is there not enough room?

We have shifted the contents of the drawer from side to side and front to back. We've pushed down on one accessible baking sheet with a chop stick.

Could you get your digital camera in a position to use the screen to see what's going on in there?
