This shelf spacer is a genuine OEM replacement part sourced directly from the manufacturer, and it is used in refrigerators and freezers. This shelf spacer attaches to wire shelves in the refrigerator and freezer to hold them in place. If the shelf spacer is lost or damaged, the shelf will not stay in place. The spacer should be replaced.Refrigerator shelves must be sturdy to hold the weight of the food stored inside. If the shelf spacer is missing, the stability of the shelf is compromised. This part snaps onto the wire shelf and prevents it from moving around. This keeps the food inside the refrigerator from causing the shelf to fall. No tools are needed to install this part. If the shelf spacer is missing, do not store food on the shelf until it is installed.This shelf spacer is a white plastic part that is sold individually. It is designed for use in refrigerators manufactured by Kenmore, Frigidaire, Westinghouse, and Gibson.
