The Leveling Leg is an OEM part for Whirlpool refrigerators. This adjustable leg ensures your refrigerator is level. A level refrigerator ensures that doors seal properly, minimizing energy consumption and preventing uneven cooling or frost buildup. 

Causes of damage to the leveling leg can range from normal wear and tear, corrosion from moisture exposure, or physical damage during moving or cleaning processes. It's also possible for the leg to become stiff or seized, making adjustment difficult.

Symptoms of a bad Leveling Leg include:

• The refrigerator wobbles or is unstable when doors are opened or closed.
• Difficulty in aligning the refrigerator doors due to the appliance not being level.
• Increased operational noise or vibrations, especially when the compressor turns on, indicating the refrigerator is not sitting evenly.
