The Bracket Fridge is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a mounting bracket that provides structural support and helps securely attach the refrigerator cabinet to other internal components. The bracket plays an integral role in maintaining optimal alignment and weight distribution throughout the refrigerator frame.
Symptoms of a bad bracket can include cracks, breaks, or loose fasteners that compromise its strength and load-bearing abilities. Over time normal use and heavy items placed inside the fridge can cause stress fractures or fatigue cracks.
Causes of a bad bracket include:
- Damage due to impact or mishandling of the unit
- Deterioration from long-term vibration stresses
- Failure of mounting screws or bolts
This OEM Whirlpool part is compatible with Maytag, KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, Amana, Magic Chef, Admiral, Norge, Roper, and Kenmore models.
