Nick E Derby , KS January 16, 2015

Broken vegetable rail

Removed the bottom shelf by releasing the 2 clips near the water filter, then lifted the front of the shelf and slid it out. Removed 2 screws from the broken Vegetable Rail and replaced it with the new one. Slid the shelf back into place and locked it down into the clips. Done. Took longer to remove everything from the shelf than it did to fix it. Less than 5 minute repair.

The vegetable rail and the pantry cover rail were broken

I ordered the replacement parts using the model number/serial number. They were shipped in a reasonable time. I removed the broken pieces and replaced them with the new ones
