Whirlpool W11397167 Retainer for Refrigerator

The Whirlpool W11397167 is a refrigerator retainer designed specifically for Whirlpool models. This part is used to secure and stabilize various internal components of the refrigerator, such as shelves, drawers, and crisper bins, with its specific application depending on the model. The retainer functions by snapping or clipping into designated slots or indentations on the components it holds, fitting into corresponding openings on the refrigerator's interior wall. This design provides a secure fit that prevents components from moving or detaching during normal use. A damaged retainer may lead to instability in shelves and drawers, which can result in difficulties managing items inside the refrigerator.
