The Bin Shelf is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool bottom-mount refrigerators. It provides a convenient storage solution located inside the refrigerator door. The adjustable bin shelf can accommodate gallon-sized beverage containers as well as smaller items like condiments and sauces. 

Causes of a bad bin shelf can include cracks or breaks from repeated loading/unloading of items. Excess weight over time may cause bending or warping of lightweight plastic components as well.

Symptoms of a bad bin shelf include: 

• Difficulty fitting typical items inside the shelf area
• Items falling through or not being securely held in place  
• The shelf sagging lower than its designed position
• Inability to easily remove or reinstall the shelf

This OEM Whirlpool part is also compatible with KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and select Kenmore refrigerator models.

• Clicking or humming from the compressor area with no start, or overheating and cycling on overload

• Sealed-system service requires EPA Section 608 certification, recovery equipment, brazing, deep vacuum, and precise recharging
• Disconnect power and properly recover refrigerant before opening the system; replace the filter-drier, braze with nitrogen purge, leak-test, evacuate, then charge to the specification on the model's data plate
• Transfer any model-specific grommets, brackets, tubing, and external inverter/start components from the original unit or replace as directed in the service manual

This is a replacement screw designed to work with a wide range of household appliances. It is used for many purposes in these appliances, from holding body panels together to securing electronics into control boards. However, screws are subject to damage through corrosion, impact, and improper installation/removal. In most cases, the primary damage to this screw is through corrosion – it may become rusted or corroded in place, depending on the appliance and the maintenance provided during its lifespan. The screw may also be stripped or rounded due to improper removal or installation. If the screw is damaged, lost, or corroded in place, it will need to be replaced. In most cases, removal will require nothing more than a Phillips head screwdriver or the appropriately sized socket with a ratchet. However, if the screw is damaged, it may require a tap set to remove it from its mounting location. Note that this is a genuine OEM replacement screw made from durable, high-quality metal, and is sold individually. It fits Whirlpool, Maytag, Roper, Estate, Amana, Crosley, and Thermador appliances. It is used in over 150 machines, ranging from washers and dryers to air conditioners.
