Whirlpool WPW10397635 Drawer Slide Rail for Refrigerator

The Whirlpool WPW10397635 Drawer Slide Rail is designed specifically for use in refrigerators. It serves as a track system that facilitates the movement of refrigerator drawers, typically found in the freezer compartment. This component consists of a metal rail that is attached to the bottom of the drawer, with rollers or wheels that interact with the slide. When the drawer is pulled, the rollers move along the track, allowing for smooth and controlled operation. Issues may arise with drawer slides that are worn, damaged, or improperly aligned, leading to drawers that can become stuck, difficult to open or close, or misaligned. If a drawer does not close completely, it can result in cold air escaping, which may increase energy consumption.
