Why is my Howdens drawer front falling off and how do I fix it?

How do I fix this stupid drawer? How hard can it possibly be? Something has become loose on the right hand side and the drawer front keeps slipping down.
I can't find any proper instructions anywhere, can't see any obvious screw needing replaced or tightened up.
Please help me before I rip the entire thing off in frustration.

Is the runner inside the cabinet loose?

Ignore that - you said it was the drawer front,not the drawer.

You probably do need something tightened up or a screw replaced inside. Difficult to tell without a picture of the inside fixings. Take a picture of both sides, inside as I'm sure someone will be able to give you an answer

Well, I eventuality found a video of how to get the drawer front off. Got the drawer front off and a broken piece of metal fell out. Sent a photo of the broken piece of metal to a joiner friend. Turns out this is a crucial piece of metal for holding the whole thing together. So we can't do anything until we can buy a new piece. Just to make lockdown that little bit more fun.

Can you "fix" it with duck tape until you can get a replacement?
