Symptoms of a bad Cabinet Roller include:

• Difficulty moving or adjusting the refrigerator
• Unusual noises when attempting to move the appliance
• The refrigerator not sitting level or wobbling

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