The Grille-Front is an OEM component specifically designed for Whirlpool refrigerator cabinet fronts. It allows for air circulation while protecting internal refrigeration system components. Proper grille functioning keeps components running cool and efficient.  

Symptoms of a bad grille can include:

• Parts of the grille cracking, loosening, or detaching
• Reduced airflow causing elevated temperature readings inside
• Components overheating, leading to premature failures

Causes related to physical impacts, such as kids' toys or vacuum cleaners striking the grille. Direct sun exposure can also cause material degradation over time.

• Increased energy costs from lack of insulation due to air gaps  
• Buildup of moisture on internal surfaces from improper sealing
• Difficulty opening or closing the refrigerator door smoothly

Causes can include normal wear over time, or damage from repeated opening and closing of the door putting stress on the hinge. 

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