Customer Questions and Answers for Grille Support (Kickplate Support) by Whirlpool

Grille support holds the oven's lower kickplate (grille) securely in place, preventing sagging and alignment issues so the appliance front stays flush, quiet, and visually correct. What it does

• Secures the lower front grille/kickplate to the appliance frame
• Prevents the kickplate from sagging, vibrating, or rattling during use
• Restores proper alignment and closes visible gaps at the bottom of the appliance
• Helps maintain a tidy appearance and keeps the grille seated against vent openings

• Disconnect power to the appliance before beginning any service
• Access is typically gained by removing the lower kickplate/grille; moderate hand tools are usually required
• Retain and reuse existing fasteners if they are undamaged; replace if stripped or corroded
