Safety. Unplug the appliance before you start and keep food cold elsewhere while you work. Never pierce the sealed cooling system.
Signs it has failed
- A cracked or broken shelf
- A shelf that sags or no longer sits level
- Missing shelf supports
- A shelf that rattles
Check before you buy
- Measure the width and depth of the old shelf
- Check the supports or runners on the side walls
- Check whether the shelf has a rim, trim or a front edge to match
What replacing it fixes: if the signs above match your refrigerator and the checks point to this part, fitting a new one should clear those faults. If the symptoms continue, the cause is elsewhere (a control board, a sensor or a blocked vent or hose).
How to replace it
- Remove the food and the old shelf
- Slide the new shelf onto the supports or runners
- Check it sits level and clicks into place
- Refill the shelf
Guide steps are typical for this type of part. Layouts differ between models, so follow your own manual where it differs.
Getting the right part
Shelves differ in size, rim and fixing. Match the part number, your model number and the measurements of the old shelf.
Check your model number first. It is on the rating plate — usually inside the door frame, on the back or side panel, or inside the appliance. Parts that look identical often differ by model, so match the number to the listing before you order.
