6EC3FHKXWQ00 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

Remove sliding drawer. Remove glass shelf. Inspect the installation slots that the support rail is mounted through. Understand the direction you wish to apply force and then softly tap the rail and it will pop free. The same can be done for both sides. Interestingly, the parts are the same so you do not need a left and right rail if both rails are broken. In fact, they can be removed, flipped 180deg and reinstalled.

Remove old track with a flat blade screwdriver by Gently tapping on the tabs to unlock from the shelf bracket. Simply reverse the procedure to install the new track. I used a bench grinder to quickly remove the round button near the front of the track to keep the track flush to the mounting bracket of the glass shelf.

Ordered the item after being assured that it would fit based on the model of the refrigerator.
Simple placed the side edges of the item on the runners situated both sides of the refrigerator and slid it in. No sweat

Removed the handle and removed old part . It took hours to remove the old clips that were on the handle fastened with Allen screws. It took hours to remove the Allen screws without stripping the screws. Need to use an Allen wrench with a handle so you could apply pressure. That finally worked.

Bottom line the fridge handle still comes off with the new parts.
It was an expensive couple of parts that are not doing the job.My wife now opens the fridge by putting her hand on the top of the door.Suggest you don’t buy the parts, they don’t work.

I filed the nubs down flat with the track. Worked like a charm from that point.

Piece of cake. Don't know why I waited so long to order the parts. Reasonable cost too.

My husband was able to remove the broken tracks & replace them very quickly. Super easy repair.

After cleaning out the drawer and taking it out, I removed the shelf the bracket was connected to. The bracket slid out and the new one slid in with help from the rubber mallet. Should have checked the left side too, as it was cracked and I ended up ordering another track.

New part had small tips on each end that had to be shaved down . Used broken part as guide to hammer new part in place .

One screw holds the light lens. Door bin slips right in.

We’d had the refrigerator repaired a year ago by the service department of our local appliance store. Turns out the service tech somehow used the wrong screw when replacing the door cam, causing it to rub on the cams and causing premature wear. After watching the provided repair video, it took about 10 minutes to remove the door, replace the cams and reinstall the door. Saved well over $100 and had the job done right this time.

Popped the old slides out. the new slides had extra small knobs(no holes for them) ground off unnecessary ones with dremel grinder. slide right in after doing this with no problem.

I used a small hammer to gently tap the broken slide track out of the locked position. Then inserted the new one into the track and slid it slightly to lock it in place.

Replace the bin

Technically there are no specific tool requirements for this repair, but getting the old slide track off of the shelf and getting the new one on can prove to require some elbow grease that I found some tools helped ease. The track attaches with tension of 3 dado-type slide joints as well as 3 pegs to lock it in place once those joints are aligned. I found use of a screwdriver to push the pegs out of their holes and then a hammer to force the piece to slide out of lock to help remove the old track. I then used the hammer again (lightly) to slide the new track into position so that the pegs would lock. I would stress though that this component being plastic, use of such tools should be done with great care if at all.
