Customer Questions and Answers for Shelf Support Stud by Whirlpool

This shelf support stud anchors a refrigerator shelf to the cabinet liner so it stays level and secure. Replace a cracked or missing stud to restore proper support and prevent shelves from tilting, slipping, or dropping.

• Locks into the liner wall to provide a mounting point for the shelf frame or bracket
• Keeps the shelf aligned and at the correct height
• Common symptoms: broken/missing stud, shelf won't sit flat, shelf sags or falls on one side
• Helps prevent items from sliding due to an unstable shelf

• Disconnect power; remove the shelf and any items resting on it. Handle glass shelves carefully and consider wearing cut-resistant gloves.
• Remove the damaged stud (release the locking tab or twist out, depending on design).
• Insert the new stud into the existing hole until fully seated and locked.
• Reinstall the shelf and verify it sits level before reloading.
