Customer Questions and Answers for Drawer Hook by Whirlpool

This drawer hook is the retainer that keeps an appliance drawer securely seated while still allowing easy release for cleaning or service. Replacing a worn or broken hook restores smooth, reliable drawer operation.

• Secures the drawer in its housing so it stays closed during use
• Acts as the catch/release point for removing the drawer when needed
• Helps maintain proper alignment for smooth opening and closing
• Common symptoms: drawer won't stay closed, pops open or falls out, won't latch, or the hook is visibly cracked/missing

• Disconnect power before servicing
• Fully open and remove the drawer to access the hook area
• Align the new hook with the slots/tabs and snap or seat it into place
• Avoid forcing components; refer to the service manual for model-specific steps
