Default wall cabinet coming off

I glued and screwed a cheapo cabinet like that back together once. Then
I added a screw or two through the face frame side into the frame of the
adjoining cabinet. I also added a 3/4 x 3/4 ledger strip to the wall, on
which the rear and one side of the cabinet bottom rested. That seemed to
give just enough extra strength for it not to come crashing down.

If you have one cabinet in that extreme condition chances are there are
others in the kitchen that may have similar trouble. You should check
them all first, and depending on how many others may be failing then
consider whether repair or replacement is the best alternative.

Hi,

I will greatly appreciate if anyone can guide me in right direction on
this. Our kitchen wall cabinet is coming off of the wall from the top
side. Not only this, the outer frame is sliding out of the top and
shelves. The top and she;ves seem to sit (and run) in groves in the
inside of the outer frame. As you can see I am not good at explaining
it in words and woodworking terminologies, therefore here are the
pictures

I will hate to have it taken off and get it reinstalled. Rather, I
will prefer to prevent this situation from getting worse.

Please let me know if you have further questions, I will try my best
to explain.

Thanks in advance.
