Customer Questions and Answers for Base Grille (Kickplate) by Ge

This base grille mounts across the lower front of the refrigerator, covering and protecting the condenser area and leveling components while guiding airflow. Replacing a damaged or missing grille restores a clean appearance and the intended front-vent path.

• Covers the lower opening and helps keep debris away from condenser components
• Directs airflow through the front vents as designed
• Provides a finished, clean look at the toe-kick
• Helps prevent rattling when secured properly
• Common symptoms: cracked or scuffed grille, broken tabs, won't stay attached, missing piece

• Disconnect power and wear gloves to avoid sharp edges
• Open doors slightly to clear the grille ends
• Remove any screws or release spring clips and retain existing hardware
• Align tabs and snap/secure the new grille; ensure vents remain unobstructed
