Customer Questions and Answers for Shelf-Pan Assembly (Refrigerator) by Whirlpool

This shelf-pan assembly replaces a damaged or missing shelf in the refrigerator compartment. It restores a level, spill-containing surface and properly supports the drawer/pan beneath it for smooth, organized food storage.

• Forms the shelf surface above a refrigerator drawer/pan and supports normal food loads
• Aligns and supports the drawer so it slides and seats correctly
• Helps contain small spills to the shelf area for easier cleanup
• Common symptoms: cracked or broken shelf, damaged tabs, sagging, or drawer binding/misalignment

• Disconnect power and remove food from the area for safe access
• Slide out the drawer, then lift the old shelf straight up and off the support tabs/rails
• Set the new shelf evenly onto the supports and ensure it is fully seated
• The drawer slides freely and the shelf is level before restoring power
