Hi, I removed the broken shelf silupport as directed with the flatvjlhead screwdriver and pliers. However the old bracket broke off inside the insertion hoke on the freezer wall. Any tips on how to proceed? Thank you

Hi Deirdre, thank you for a very interesting question. Please follow these steps to overcome your issue. 1- Turn off the power to your refrigerator by unplugging it or turning off the circuit breaker that supplies electricity to the appliance. 2- Locate the broken bracket inside the insertion hole in the freezer wall. 3- Use a pair of needle-nose pliers to grip the bracket and try to twist it counterclockwise to remove it from the insertion hole. 4- If the bracket won't come out or breaks further, use a drill or screw extractor to remove it. Choose a drill bit or extractor that's slightly smaller than the diameter of the broken bracket and carefully drill into the center of the bracket. Once you have a hole, insert the screw extractor and turn it counterclockwise to remove the bracket. 5- After removing the broken bracket, use a small brush or vacuum to remove any debris or dust inside the insertion hole. 6- Install the new shelf support according to the manufacturer's instructions. 7- Turn the power back on to your refrigerator and test the new shelf support to make sure it's secure. We hope this sorts out your problem!
