The Endcap is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It serves as a component for the interior shelving system, providing support and stability to the shelves that hold food and beverages.
Causes of a bad endcap can include physical damage from overloading shelves, accidental breakage, or normal wear and tear over time. These scenarios can lead to the endcap becoming cracked, broken, or otherwise unable to properly support the shelf, potentially leading to the shelf collapsing or not being able to hold items securely.
Symptoms of a bad Endcap include:
- Shelves that sag or fail to stay level
- Difficulty in sliding shelves in or out
- Visible cracks or breaks in the endcap
- Loose or unstable shelves due to poor endcap support
This OEM Whirlpool part can also be used on Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore/Sears brand appliances.
