6EC3FHKXWQ00 Whirlpool Refrigerator - Instructions

The parts arrived quickly and were an exact match to the originals. Advise. Remove the shelf with the broken tracks and let warm to room temperature. The plastic is more pliable and it's easier to get the old ones off. Just push in and slide the lug to the matching opening to remove. Before you try to install the new ones, lubricate the lugs (blocks) with vegitable oil or vasiline etc. It will make the new parts slide in with little effort. double check to make sure the lugs lock into place before reinstalling the shelf.

I removed the shelf, popped off the old brackets and popped on the new ones. Easy once I figured out exactly how to do it. Less than 5 minutes later it was repaired. Easy!

... probably from overloading the drawer.

Used a rubber mallet to tap the old tracks out and the new ones into place. About 5 minutes total, and I am NOT a "handyman"!

Had to use sand paper as the slider as it would not go on all the way. After sanding the plastic down a bit, it took the excess off and slid on just fine. Every thing works as it should.

We seem to place heavy things in this draw. This is the second time we have changed the sliders. Its really easy. Now I keep it to lighter foods.

We finally found you online and ordered the parts, the drawer moves nicely, but seems not to fit across, not wide enought maybe. My husband took off the old slides and installed the new ones, a screwdriver helped him push a little and everything snapped into place.

I watched the "how to" repair video on the website and the actual repair was very easy! I was most impressed with how quickly I received the replacement parts.

Per instructions. Only caveat was I had to knock off the two plastic circular tabs on the outboard (side with the flanges that insert to the shelf bracket) with a chisel and hammer. Put the chisel blade at the base of the tab and give a quick blow with a small Hammer. Took about 1 minute. Depending on your model, the tracks may not seat with the plastic tabs.

This was a piece of cake. I watched the how to video, and everything just snapped in place. It could not have been easier.

After removing the shelf from the refrigerator, I had to give the track a little gentle persuasion to get it out. Once out, it was only a matter of placing the new part, and returning the shelf to it's proper place. It was literally less than 5 minutes to do the entire repair (including the removal & replacement of items on the shelf).

Lightly tapped end of broken rail with rubber mallet to take the rail off. Again, aligned new rail and lightly tapped into place. Done in 5 minutes.

Slide off glass top shelf. Slid 2 new tracks on.

Removed the track from it's slots and replaced with new slide tracks.

After reading some of the other repair reports, I realized I had to remove two plastic tabs on each of the slider tracks for them to fit properly into my shelf arm. I accomplished that with a rotary sander/grinder since there was no notch or hole for them to fit in my situation. That done, it was a simple matter of sliding the tracks in and out with a bit of help from a hammer (only slightly though). The repair took all of 10 minutes or so. I enjoy that my drawer no longer falls out when we use it!

I removed the drawer and shelf from the fridge, then snapped one broken track out. I had to gently pry the track near the middle with a screwdriver to pull out the one small circular tab then the track slid right out. Thankfully I had read some other customer's instructions first so I was not surprised to see the new part had two other small circular tabs that kept it from fitting that I had to file off before snapping the new track in place. I repeated with the other side. It was super easy, I spent more time looking for the file than actually doing the repair! The other reviews were really helpful, without that I would have been more nervous about filing the tabs off the new parts.
