Rub wax on the track the door rides on.
Usually wax or a candle helps.

Take the drawer out and turn it over. Rub a bar of soap on the part that guides the drawers.
The candle wax is a simple solution and works. You can also look for any wear marks and lightly sand those areas. Wood expands and contracts with temp changes. Old wood furniture wasn't always sealed properly.
Pull the drawer out and wax it and the slides. Use beeswax. Works like a charm.
maybe something fell out of the draw that is causing the problem. It could be the drawer glides need some work. Pictures help
Soap or wax where you see signs of friction.
