Whirlpool WP67001716 Ladder Hook for Refrigerator

The Whirlpool WP67001716 Refrigerator Ladder Hook is a component that provides support for the bottom crisper shelf in a Whirlpool refrigerator. This L-shaped piece is made of plastic and features an attachment at one end. The hook connects to a rail located at the back of the refrigerator, with the other end securing the front edge of the crisper shelf. When properly installed, the ladder hook keeps the crisper shelf stable and prevents it from sagging or tilting forward under the weight of its contents. A malfunctioning or broken ladder hook may lead to instability in the crisper shelf, which can make it difficult to use the shelf effectively. In some situations, it might also interfere with the operation of the crisper drawers, preventing them from opening or closing properly.
