John M New Haven , VT November 24, 2017 Appliance: Model MAYTAG MTB2156GE Rollers broke off the drawer glides in my refrigerator so drawer would fall out when extended Popping the old draw glides off was the toughest part of the job, ad even that was fairly easy, once I noticed the little retaining tabs near the front of the drawer. Pushed in on the tabs, while pushing back on the drawer glide rail and it popped right off. One minor problem I did note: When the rollers were installed on the shoulder screws, they would not turn. One roller just had a burr around the inside edge of the hole. The other the entire bore was a bit undersized, creating a snug fit. I used a 15/64" drill bit to open up the holes a bit - didn't even put the bit n a drill, just twisted it through by hand and ran it back and forth a few times. This allowed the rollers to spin freely on the shaft. (I supposes a round file might accomplish the same thing, if you had one small enough - like one used to sharpen a chainsaw.) One tip: the Phillips head screws look as though they would take a #1 Phillips screw driver, but this would not grab the screws for me. A #2 Phillips worked well, if the bit was in very good condition (not chewed up). Entire process took about 30 minutes total to do the drawer glides on both sides. It would have taken only 15 if I had not had to find my drill bits and ream out the holes in the rollers.

Kenneth Z Folsom , LA July 28, 2017 Broken drawer rail. Ordered rail, roller & screw roller from appliance parts pro. Went to the work and when I came back parts were waiting. No seriously, it wasn't that fast but they arrived super fast like 3 days. The rail slides back so I just tapped it gently to remove it. There's a tiny locking tab that it helps to push in. Assembled the roller and screw roller on the slide. This was the hardest part. The screw hole is NOT pre threaded and the screw roller has a very shallow channel for the Philips screw driver. I had to use a special Philips screwdriver to start the screw roller into the hole and then had to use a small flat head to finish up. You can just feel that the screw wants to go in crooked and crack the brand new rail. It should be pre threaded. After installing the screw & roller, the slide is very easy to reinstall. Read More...

Helen P Rensselair , IN October 15, 2017 The rail on the meat/cheese drawer had broken off. Ordered a new rail with roller and screw. Only problem was they said I hadn't ordered the roller and screw and I thought sure I had. I then had to reorder the roller and screw and pay another shipping fee so it made it a little pricey. The repair itself was easy so it was worth it in the end. Read More... Do-It-Yourself Rating: Repair Time Estimate: Less than 15 minutes Tools: Screwdrivers
