6EC3FHKXWA00 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

Removed the shelf and brakets Removed the broken sliders from the shelf brackets and replaced them with the new one's from parts select. the new sliders are a tight fit. I used a large screw driver laid side ways and taped on it to seat the sliders into the slots. NIce to have someone help hold the shelf. Reinstall the shelf backing into place. WARNING This is now the time to get out of the kitchen.OH no to late had to help clean the whole thing out and the freezer too. You need to be quick on this one. Do not let her fill the sink with hot soapy water or your doomed Less than a 15 minute job is now an hour AND 15 MINUTE JOB.

The bracket when mfg'ed had plastic molded round (bud like pieces on both ends of new bracket. In order for the bracket to be flush and to fit, I had to saw off the round nubs off. After I did this, the bracket fit without any more problems.

Removed pan from fridge. Removed shelf unit and placed on bath towel, upside down. Removed plastic slide rails from both left and right sides. Re-installed new rails (left and right were interchangeable). Put new installation back in fridge and slid pan back in. Super simple!!! A video was available on Partselect on the replacement parts page. ANYONE can do this!!! Thanks much Partselect!!! Brian

Couldn't snap the track in no matter how much pressure I exerted. Was afraid I would break the plastic. Maybe it was the wrong part. Found a suggestion in the partsselect tips area. Used a nail file to slowly sand/grind down the plastic hubs. Took my time doing each one several times. Tested installation after each round of sanding down, so as not to go too far. Eventually (5 or 10 minutes of sanding) it popped right into place. What was even more amazing to me is that I ordered the part around 2P.M. on Friday and it was delivered to NJ the next day(Saturday) before noon.

Pull meat drawer out of fridge. take off shelf bracket, remove broken slide guard, replace with new slide.

I first watched the instructional video and from then on it was a simple repair. The Pan Slide Track had been broken, probably from excess weight in the drawer over the past 8 years. After removing the drawer and glass support per the video, I discovered that BOTH the tracks were broken! Fortunately, I had ordered two(2) tracks and was able to replace both in less than 30 minutes. In my experience of do-it-yourself repairs, this was by far the simplest repair do mainly because of the great step by step video.

Nail set was used to push a locking bump to free the old slide. New slide had large bumps on each end which didn't allow tabs to engage mounting.slots on holder. File was used to reduce size of bumps. Original slide had a single bump in the center which fit intro a hole allowing the slide to lock in place securely.

The slide track is designed to slide directly into the slotted metal rails in a no tools required application. However, the tabs in the plastic slide track were slightly bowed inward which decreased the tolerance required to slide freely. After several attempts the plastic then became slightly gouged by the metal rail further preventing the slide track from sliding all the way into place and into the detent. I ended up using a small file to file down the plastic slide track just a bit to remove the gouged plastic and create the required tolerance to allow the slide track to slide into its intended position.

took the shelf out. slid both old side tracks out. new parts had two small plastic nipples on the end of the track that I had to remove. Then the part slid in and it is good as new. Thank You

removed the plastic drawer and broken track. New track was the right size, but was difficult to get into place. Wish they wouldn't use plastic for something holding the weight of the drawer plus contents.

Took the bad ones off and put the new ones on. Childs play.

I ordered two Whirlpool pan slide tracks, which are identical for the right and left sides. The first track popped right in, just like in the installation video, but the other one got stuck during insertion. I noticed that all three plastic tabs of the track were caught on the edges of their respective metal slots, and the plastic was being shredded by the metal when I pushed harder trying to insert the track. I took a kitchen knife and shaved off small slivers of plastic from the areas of the tabs that were catching. After that, the slide could be inserted easily.

Popped the shelf in place and slid the drawer back in -

It all snapped together just like PartSelect said it would
