The Cabinet Roller is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It facilitates the smooth movement and positioning of the refrigerator cabinet, making it easier to adjust or relocate the appliance as needed. This roller is designed to support the weight of the refrigerator while allowing for effortless mobility.

Causes of a bad Cabinet Roller can include wear and tear over time, exposure to heavy loads, or damage due to rough handling or impact. These factors can lead to the roller becoming ineffective or breaking altogether, resulting in difficulty moving the refrigerator.

Symptoms of a bad Cabinet Roller include:

• Difficulty moving or adjusting the refrigerator
• Unusual noises when attempting to move the appliance
• The refrigerator not sitting level or wobbling

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