The Refrigerator Shelf Stud Kit is an OEM replacement part for Whirlpool French-door refrigerators. It includes mounting posts that secure adjustable shelves within the refrigerator compartment. It includes 1 push and turn and 1 screw-in.

Symptoms of faulty shelf studs include:

  • Shelves detaching and crashing due to broken studs or mounts
  • Reduced weight-bearing ability requiring replacement of shelves
  • Damage presenting sharp edges risking food cuts or tears in packaging
  • Indents, cracks, or damage along the stud base

Causes of a bad evaporator fan motor can include electrical issues, worn bearings due to continuous operation, or physical damage from ice buildup or foreign objects. A failing motor can lead to inadequate cooling and potential food spoilage.

This GE replacement part is also compatible with Hotpoint, RCA, and some Kenmore models.

Jennifer, You have to tilt the drawers to get them over the humps and then they will slide into place or the shelf is not sitting properly which would cause the drawer to not slide in properly.

Hello Mark. When the supports 4388538 break it is best to replace them and not glue them. We do not have any repairs listed for gluing them. As for the type of plastic used in the production of the supports, you will need to contact the manufacturer for that information.

Mark, The stud that is needed is shorted than the stud that you are inquiring about. This would be the reason for the differences in parts.

Mark for Model Number ED20TKXDN01

We have an older Whirlpool refrigerator/freezer (as you know). I need to replace the front right refrigerator crisper drawer support stud (which is a push-and-turn stud). This stud is the one that is near to the hinge of the refrigerator door and opposite the refrigerator shelf stud with a rectangular solid plastic block. Evidently, I need to buy Whirlpool Part Number AP3109339 (which is also known as Whirlpool Part Number 4388538), which is really two parts—a push-and-turn stud and a screw-in stud. Unfortunately, I don't need the screw-in stud. Can you please tell me how Whirlpool Part Number AP6005838 (which is also known as Whirlpool Part Number WP2149540) differs from the push-and-turn-stud of Whirlpool Part Number AP3109339 (which is also known as Whirlpool Part Number 4388538)? Aren't they the same thing? Regarding "Ask Your Question", I greatly appreciate your respect for your customers' privacy. You all can't be all bad!

Hello Sara. Use some spray foam and foam the new stud into place and let it set up before using it.

Hello Tom, I am not aware of any video on this but the shelf stud kit 4388538 has two different studs. One you screw in and the other you push in and turn to lock in place. Use the one that works for your application. Thanks!
