This rear roller is a replacement for the rollers in a refrigerator. The rollers are not used often, but they have an important purpose. They make it easier to move the refrigerator from one area to another. If the roller had been damaged and is not working properly, it will be difficult to maneuver the refrigerator. Replacing the damaged roller with a new one before moving the refrigerator a long distance is a good idea.The rollers on the refrigerator are meant to handle a lot of pressure. However, they can still wear down and break eventually. They could also be damaged during a previous move. Before replacing the rear roller, unplug the refrigerator and remove the connection to the water supply. The replacement will require only a few tools, such as a screwdriver. It may require moving other parts of the refrigerator to get access to the rear rollers.The rear roller will work for certain models of refrigerators from Whirlpool, GE, KitchenAid, Inglis, Maytag, Admiral, International, Amana, Jenn-Air, Crosley, and Magic Chef. This is a genuine OEM replacement part that is sold individually.

A bad housing can occur due to wear and tear, electrical malfunctions, or physical damage. If you notice symptoms such as the light not turning on when the door is opened, difficulty in replacing the light bulb, or a faulty door switch, it may be time to replace this part.

Symptoms of a bad housing include:

• Light not turning on when the door is opened
• Difficulty in replacing the light bulb
• Cracks or damage to the housing

Restore your Whirlpool refrigerator by replacing the worn or damaged housing with this genuine OEM part.

This OEM part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
