Roper Refrigerator Grille

The Grille is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This part is typically located at the bottom or top of the refrigerator and serves both functional and aesthetic purposes. It allows for proper airflow to the condenser and other internal components while providing a finished look to the appliance.

Causes of a bad grille can include general wear and tear, accidental impacts, or accumulation of dust and debris over time. 

Symptoms of a bad grille include:

• Visible cracks or breaks in the grille
• Reduced cooling efficiency
• Increased dust or debris buildup
• Loose or misaligned grille
• Unusual noises due to restricted airflow

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper and some Kenmore models.

This white dispenser grille fits the refrigerator's ice/water area on the door. It provides a clean, finished surface and helps catch minor drips, restoring appearance when the original grille is cracked, stained, or missing.

• Helps catch small drips to protect the door surface
• Provides a finished look and covers the dispenser recess
• Common symptoms: cracked or discolored plastic, broken tabs, won't sit flat, or won't stay in place

• Most models: lift the old grille straight out; align and press the new grille into place
• Some models use retaining tabs or screws; open the door to access and release them
• Unplug the refrigerator before servicing; wear cut-resistant gloves to protect hands
• Do not force the part—plastic tabs can break if misaligned
