The Drawer Roller is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators, specifically designed to facilitate the smooth and effortless sliding of drawers within the appliance. This small but crucial component ensures that the refrigerator's drawers open and close with ease, allowing for convenient access to fruits, vegetables, meats, and other items stored inside.
Causes of a bad Drawer Roller can stem from wear and tear over time, accumulation of debris or food particles in the roller mechanism, or damage from overloading the drawer beyond its capacity.
Symptoms of a bad Drawer Roller include:
- Drawers sticking or jamming when you try to open or close them
- A grinding or squeaking noise during drawer movement
- The drawer sagging or not aligning properly within the refrigerator
This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.
