Description
The Door Shelf Retaining Bar is an OEM component for Whirlpool refrigerators. It is a horizontal metal rod located within the refrigerator door that secures glass shelf panels in place during opening and closing. Maintaining structural integrity prevents accidental shelf removal or breakage.
Symptoms of a damaged retaining bar may include:
- Shelves that suddenly fall or slide out of position while accessing contents
- Gaps or spaces where shelves are unable to fully lock into place along guides
- Noisy rattling or clanking sounds emanating from loose shelving inside the door
Causes generally relate to standard wear over extended use. Repeated door movements may gradually weaken connecting joints, sockets, and bends within the thin metal bar material over time.
Compatible brands are KitchenAid, Jenn-Air, and some Kenmore refrigerator models too.
