Luckily, no matter the make or model of your appliance, a broken refrigerator door shelf is quick and easy to replace \u2013 the hardest part is probably the cleanup.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Want to know how to DIY replace a missing or damaged door shelf retainer bar in your refrigerator?

That\u2019s a natural time to replace a refrigerator part. There are a few other instances, though, where it might be appropriate to swap an old, still-working component out:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Has it gotten brittle? Plastic will start to get brittle with age, particularly if it\u2019s been cleaned with something harsh like bleach. If you notice the shelves in your refrigerator getting brittle, and especially if you see any cracks, chips, or fractures, you can avert a disastrous mess by replacing the shelf bars while they still work.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Is it discolored? Whether the shelf has yellowed with age or is speckled with set stains from condiments and sauces, you may want to replace the shelves in your fridge to give the interior a cleaner, fresher look.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Finding The Right Replacement Part<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Because every refrigerator is different, it\u2019s especially important that you get the right part if you\u2019re replacing a door shelf, and opt for a genuine OEM part if you are able. To track down an appropriate compatible refrigerator door shelf, you\u2019ll need your appliance\u2019s full model number.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can find your refrigerator\u2019s model number on a sticker on the appliance. Look in these spots:<\/span>\r\n<ul>\r\n \t<li>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check the exterior door or sides of the appliance<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Inspect the interior of the door or door frame<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examine the interior ceiling of the freezer or refrigerator compartment<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Look inside the walls of either compartment<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find it on the floor of the refrigerator, under the crisper drawers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n \t<li>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Search behind the kickplate at the bottom of the appliance<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once you\u2019ve got that number written down, head on over to <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">AppliancePartsPros.com<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and type it into the search bar.

These are very common on Samsung refrigerators.<\/span><\/li>\r\n<\/ul>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While bins and bars are installed in relatively similar ways, their steps aren\u2019t identical. This guide goes over replacing a door shelf bar. If you\u2019re looking for instructions on replacing a door shelf bin, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=OjpofmZjTis&list=PLKhohqC7zc-TIMxEbW9Gk_UBbXmwGqPPa\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">check out our YouTube channel\u2019s list of refrigerator repair tutorials<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for an appropriate visual guide.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How To Replace A Door Shelf Bar<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For this tutorial, we replaced the door shelf bar on a Frigidaire refrigerator. If your refrigerator is within the Frigidaire family of brands, including Electrolux, Gibson, Kelvinator, Westinghouse, Sears, and Kenmore, the steps laid out here will match exactly what you need to do.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">That said, since door shelf bars are generally installed the same way regardless of the refrigerator\u2019s make or model, this tutorial should be useful to you no matter what type of fridge you have.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tools for the Job<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You don\u2019t need any special tools to replace a shelf in your refrigerator, but do make sure you have the right replacement component! For the refrigerator in our video, that was <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/frigidaire-door-bar-retainer-240534901-ap3214630.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">part no. 240534901<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before You Begin\u2026<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You\u2019ll want to make sure you have adequate room to complete this job. Remove any items from the shelf you\u2019re repairing, and if there are bulky items around it, relocate those, too. You may also want to take this as an opportunity to thoroughly clean the inner lining of your refrigerator to remove any sticky residue.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once your refrigerator\u2019s prepped, you\u2019ll want to temporarily shut your refrigerator\u2019s power off. Any time you perform maintenance on an appliance, you should disconnect it from power for your safety. Either unplug your refrigerator from the wall outlet or flip the circuit breaker to be sure it\u2019s not receiving power.<\/span>\r\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Replacing A Door Shelf Bar<\/span><\/h3>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The most time-consuming part of this job is clearing the shelf off and putting everything back again at the end. Replacing the bar itself should take you less than five minutes, but your prep and clean-up time can vary.<\/span>\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First Step: Remove the old shelf bar<\/span><\/h4>\r\n[\/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src='https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/001.jpg' attachment='2239' attachment_size='full' copyright='' caption='' styling='' align='center' font_size='' overlay_opacity='0.4' overlay_color='#000000' overlay_text_color='#ffffff' animation='no-animation' hover='' appearance='' link='' target='' title_attr='' alt_attr='' lazy_loading='disabled' id='' custom_class='' av_element_hidden_in_editor='0' av_uid='av-lexcvxjn' admin_preview_bg=''][\/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size='' av-medium-font-size='' av-small-font-size='' av-mini-font-size='' font_color='' color='' id='' custom_class='' av_uid='av-lexcqm37' admin_preview_bg='']\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The shelf bar is locked into place by a couple of tabs \u2013 one on either side \u2013 that can be released by hand. Slide your fingers beneath the bar and press up on each side to free it up. You may need to bend the bar slightly outward to help with this.<\/span>\r\n[\/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src='https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/002.jpg' attachment='2240' attachment_size='full' copyright='' caption='' styling='' align='center' font_size='' overlay_opacity='0.4' overlay_color='#000000' overlay_text_color='#ffffff' animation='no-animation' hover='' appearance='' link='' target='' title_attr='' alt_attr='' lazy_loading='disabled' id='' custom_class='' av_element_hidden_in_editor='0' av_uid='av-lexcwugx' admin_preview_bg=''][\/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size='' av-medium-font-size='' av-small-font-size='' av-mini-font-size='' font_color='' color='' id='' custom_class='' av_uid='av-lexcr8i3' admin_preview_bg='']\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Second Step: Line up the new shelf bar<\/span><\/h4>\r\n[\/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src='https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/003.jpg' attachment='2241' attachment_size='full' copyright='' caption='' styling='' align='center' font_size='' overlay_opacity='0.4' overlay_color='#000000' overlay_text_color='#ffffff' animation='no-animation' hover='' appearance='' link='' target='' title_attr='' alt_attr='' lazy_loading='disabled' id='' custom_class='' av_element_hidden_in_editor='0' av_uid='av-lexcxucn' admin_preview_bg=''][\/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size='' av-medium-font-size='' av-small-font-size='' av-mini-font-size='' font_color='' color='' id='' custom_class='' av_uid='av-lexcrky1' admin_preview_bg='']\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Grab your new part and make sure it\u2019s properly aligned with the tabs on the door on both sides.<\/span>\r\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Third Step: Press down on the new bar to secure it<\/span><\/h4>\r\n[\/av_textblock]\r\n\r\n[av_image src='https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/004.jpg' attachment='2242' attachment_size='full' copyright='' caption='' styling='' align='center' font_size='' overlay_opacity='0.4' overlay_color='#000000' overlay_text_color='#ffffff' animation='no-animation' hover='' appearance='' link='' target='' title_attr='' alt_attr='' lazy_loading='disabled' id='' custom_class='' av_element_hidden_in_editor='0' av_uid='av-lexcyxq7' admin_preview_bg=''][\/av_image]\r\n\r\n[av_textblock size='' av-medium-font-size='' av-small-font-size='' av-mini-font-size='' font_color='' color='' id='' custom_class='' av_uid='av-lexcta4w' admin_preview_bg='']\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gently press down on each side of the bar until it snaps into place. Then give it a tug to make sure it\u2019s secure. Once it\u2019s in place, you can plug your refrigerator back in and start loading the shelf back up again!<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Help! My Refrigerator\u2019s Old Door Shelf Bar Is Stuck In Place<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019re having trouble getting an old door shelf bar out of your refrigerator, lay a warm, damp cloth over the part where it\u2019s stuck and leave it there for 15 minutes. That should help to loosen up whatever old food debris is holding it in place. You can also try popping it out with a putty knife or flathead screwdriver.<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What Can I Store On A Refrigerator Door Shelf?<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The refrigerator door shelves are both the warmest spot in your fridge and the spot that experiences the most temperature fluctuations. Keep that in mind when you\u2019re storing items there. You\u2019ll want to use the door to store preserved items like condiments, sauces, soft drinks, and pickles. Avoid keeping perishables like eggs or veggies in the door unless you know you\u2019ll be using them within a day or two.<\/span>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.appliancepartspros.com\/b\/a-complete-guide-to-refrigerator-organization\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check out our complete guide to refrigerator organization<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to get a better idea of where everything should go in your fridge!<\/span>\r\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8 Tips To Prolong The Life Of Your Refrigerator\u2019s Shelves<\/span><\/h2>\r\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With all those temperature fluctuations and the frequent use they see, the shelves in your refrigerator door are prone to fracturing, cracking, and chipping. You can reduce the chance that the shelves in your refrigerator door become damaged with these tips:<\/span>\r\n<ol>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid Overloading the Shelves. If you need to apply force to place an item on a shelf or if the base appears to be sagging or the front bar is bending, it indicates that the shelf is too full.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid Overfilling the Refrigerator Compartment. Excess items extending past the shelves can cause damage to the door shelves upon closing the refrigerator door.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Avoid Slamming the Refrigerator Door and Never Force it Closed if it Meets Resistance.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keep Heavier Items on the Bottom of the Door Shelves or Store Them in the Refrigerator Compartment.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clean Jars and Condiment Bottles Before Placing Them Back on the Shelf. This helps maintain a clean area and prevents food items from becoming stuck on the shelves.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Gently Remove Stuck Items. Avoid pulling out items that have become stuck due to hardened residue. Use a warm, damp sponge or towel to slowly and gently release the substance that is causing the item to stay in place.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Use Suitable and Mild Cleaning Products During Cleaning. Avoid using bleach as it can weaken the plastic shelves of the refrigerator. Opt for gentle, food-safe cleaning solutions instead.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\r\n<\/span><\/li>\r\n \t<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Allow Shelving Components to Reach Room Temperature Before Cleaning.
