Causes of a bad Drawer Roller can stem from wear and tear over time, accumulation of debris or food particles in the roller mechanism, or damage from overloading the drawer beyond its capacity.  

Symptoms of a bad Drawer Roller include:

• Drawers sticking or jamming when you try to open or close them
• A grinding or squeaking noise during drawer movement
• The drawer sagging or not aligning properly within the refrigerator

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

• Seat the new axle fully in the mounting hole; ensure the roller spins freely
• Reinstall the drawer and check for smooth operation
