Customer Questions and Answers for Drawer Slide Assembly (Refrigerator Cabinet) by Whirlpool

This drawer slide assembly mounts to the refrigerator cabinet and supports the interior bin as it moves. Replacing a worn slide restores smooth, level drawer travel for easier access and reliable sealing.

• Supports and guides a refrigerator drawer so it glides in and out smoothly
• Attaches to the cabinet wall and interfaces with the drawer track
• Helps keep the drawer level and aligned to prevent binding or scraping
• Typical signs of failure: sticking drawer, sagging on one side, popping off track, or visible cracks in the rail

• Unplug the refrigerator and remove items from the affected drawer
• Pull out and remove the drawer (and shelf/glass if required for access)
• Remove mounting screws, swap the slide in the same orientation, and tighten securely
• Reinstall the drawer and verify smooth operation; use gloves and caution around glass and sharp edges
