Every now and then, certain cleaning and moving tasks may require you to manually remove the drawers from a cabinet, dresser, or similar piece of furniture. Removing drawers is a cinch in most cases, but the process can vary a bit depending on the type of drawer you're working with. Most wood-glide and free-rolling drawers will come straight out with a little bit of force or a tilt at the right angle. For drawers with stopping mechanisms like stabilizer screws or anti-tip cables, you’ll need to remove the screws holding the drawer in place before you can finish pulling it out.

How To Remove A Kitchen
If you want to remove wood-glide or free-rolling drawers from a piece of furniture, start by pulling the first drawer out as far as it will go. Then, push down on the sides of the drawer so that the back end lifts up slightly. This causes the wheels or lip on the back edge to raise up higher than the stopper at the front of the track. Once the wheels or back edge are past the stopper, you can slide the drawer off of the track and out of the piece of furniture. Set the drawer aside on a flat, stable surface and repeat the process for any additional drawers you wish to remove!

I have recently had to tackle a problem with my IKEA Faktum kitchen and its Rationell drawers, drawer fronts, and coverpanels. The instructions in the manual were very clear on how to assemble the drawers, but they fell a little short of telling me how to disassemble the drawers again.
I was wondering why that was because I know quite a few people who would gladly move their IKEA kitchen when they change houses (or flats or apartments, for that matter). But it seems that nobody on the company side has taken this into consideration.
Here's How To Max Out The Ikea Pull Out Spice Cabinet
With the manual. Well, anyway, here it is, the answer to the question: How do I disassemble / take apart IKEA Rationell drawers? The answer applies to the 2008/2009 and later series. Earlier series had a different mechanism as it appears...
The shortest possible way (if you can reach the bottom of the drawer) is to use a small flat screwdriver to press on the little white nipple (or whatever you may call it) to lift it and release the drawers from the bar. I marked the nipple with a red arrow in the photograph.
Especially if you cannot easily reach the drawer bottom (for example because you're dealing with the bottom drawer), you may want to try a different way which I will describe step-by-step fashion. First we will take off the drawer front, then we will remove the drawer from the bar. First of all, we need to open the lock at the front end of the Rationelle drawer (the grey rectangular latches on both sides of the drawer).

Then you can pull it out of its lock (next picture).You will get access to the adjustment screws too, by the way.
If you remove the latches on both sides of the Rationell drawer, you can gently pull out the drawer front and thus get access to the lock that connects the drawer with the runners. If you look at it from the front, you will realize the bottom end of the white plastic shark fin ends in a nipple or tongue that locks with the clamp in the runners (the next photo shows it in released position before locking).
Now the tongue will be resting in the counterpiece when you take off the cover panel, and it is this happy union which will make you sweat when traing to take the drawers apart.

To release the drawers from the bars no other method such as applying brute force, explosives or even waiting patiently will work. You will need a flat screwdriver to gently move the nipple out of its counterpiece. It will noticeably snap out, but be gentle for you don't want the tongue to break.
Don't forget to release the lock mechanism on both sides (you can do one side after the other). Have fun with your IKEA kitchen again! :)
